15 Famous Babies & Child Stars That Used To Be Cute, But Now…
We honestly thought these adorable famous child stars would turn out to be beautiful or handsome adults, but they did not. We all go through an awkward phase at some point, and it seems like some of these stars never left the phase. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so everyone's going to have a different opinion, but surely we can all agree that some of these celebrities are not as attractive as we hoped like Macaulay Culkin for example.
He was the adorable Home Alone star who was separated from his family twice and a clever kid who set a booby-trap for the criminals. How about Haley Joel Osment? He was the cute boy from The Sixth Sense whose famous line was, “I see dead people.” Although we still see some resemblance from when he was a kid and now, we wouldn't go as far as to say he's handsome. He's not ugly, that's for sure. Lindsay Lohan is probably one of the people on the list who's still fairly attractive, but some people think she looks weirder in every new photo of her. Even one of her co-stars from Mean Girls Aaron Samuels didn't recognize her when he saw her. That's embarrassing.
Take a look at the list below to see which of your favorite child stars are on the list. You'll never guess what they look like now…
15 Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen: The Twins Were Too Cute On Full House And Now They Look Like Creepy Dolls
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were the cutest twins in Full House. We loved watching the show because they were so funny, and they were great actors at such a young age, too. They were babies when they were first casted for the show. After the show ended, they went on to make their own movies. We kind of watched them grow. It's sad to see that they look like creepy dolls now. They left the acting career to pursue their dream to be fashion designers. They're successful, which is great. They do have the chic style. They also have a similar taste in men because they both love much older men. Anyways, we hoped they would cameo for the Full House spinoff, but nope. We'll still love and forever remember them as Michelle Tanner.
14 Macaulay Culkin: The Home Alone Star Had Some Ups And Downs For Years
Everyone knows Macaulay Culkin for his role as the 8-year-old Kevin McAllister in Home Alone and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York where he was separated from his family twice. He was absolutely adorable with his singing and all. He was a clever kid, too, when he set a booby-trap for the criminals. Macaulay was one of the most famous child stars in Hollywood. It's too bad he got involved with drugs and alcohol because it's what made him look weird and creepy today. People will probably turn around and walk the other way when they see him coming. Even if he's not cute anymore, we'll never get tired of watching him in Home Alone, which is played every year around the holidays.
13 Haley Joel Osment: The Cute Boy From The Sixth Sense Isn't Little Anymore
It's hard to believe that Haley Joel Osment was the cute 11-year-old boy who starred with Bruce Willis in The Sixth Sense. Haley was famously known for saying: “I see dead people.” He would say it with his scared face that was too cue. He was also in one of the greatest films, Forrest Gump, as Tom Hank's son way before he was in The Sixth Sense. We still see the resemblance between then and now because of his eyes, smile, and eyebrows. But, one thing we can all agree on is that he definitely isn't little anymore because he's 29 years old. He looks like he could be pulling 40 soon though. It's probably the beard, and he also did put on several pounds.
12 Mara Wilson: Matilda Will Always Have A Special Place In Our Hearts
Mara Wilson is known for her roles in Mrs Doubtfire with Robin Williams, Miracle on 34th Street as the little girl who loved Santa so much, and Matilda as the child genius. Apparently, she didn't have to audition for roles when she got famous because scripts were brought to her. But, after some time, she decided to leave acting to go to school. It's pretty admirable. Since she left, she's never been on the spotlight. No one knew what she was up to until she appeared out of nowhere. She even wrote a memoir. Anyways, we all know how cute she was as a child, but she's not that cute anymore. She's not ugly, that's for sure. Matilda will always have a special place in our hearts, no matter what.
11 Daniel Radcliffe: The Little Wizard Harry Potter Is All Grown Up With Beard And All
We're sad that Daniel Radcliffe isn't the cute little wizard we know as Harry Potter anymore. He's all grown up. He's an awkward-looking 28-year-old with beard and all. People think his nose got bigger compared to his younger days. Also, when he smiles, it looks like he's forcing it or trying too hard. Either way, some might find him very handsome while others might find him less attractive. He's still very successful though. It's what matters anyways. He's a great actor, and we think he totally deserves to praised for his acting skills. It's all thanks to the Harry Potter series that brought him to fame. He was the face of the series after all. Daniel will forever be remembered as Harry Potter.
10 Jonathan Lipnicki: The Adorable Kid From Jerry Maguire Never Left The Awkward Phase
Jonathan Lipnick starred in Jerry Maguire next to Tom Cruise and played Renee Zellweger's little boy. He was the adorable kid with round glasses. He was also in Stuart Little where he befriended the mouse. The movie was cute, and so was he. He's not bad looking now, but he doesn't look anything like he used to back when he was a kid. He looks awkward when he smiles. He might not have grown in height, but he's ripped. Anyways, he does a lot of charity work and supports causes like Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and Breast Cancer Research Foundation. He also appears and speaks at these events. He might not be as attractive as we thought he'd be when he grew up, but he's a sweetheart.
9 Raven-Symoné: Everyone Loved Her Because She Was Cute As A Button
Raven Symone is famous for her role as Olivia Kendall on The Cosby Show back in 1989. Everyone loved her, because she was cute as a button! Unfortunately, her cuteness disappeared as she aged. There are times when she still tries to act cute on TV, but it's just not the same. She definitely has an interesting taste in style though, especially with her hair. She's not afraid to use strange colors, and good for her. Moving on - she was part of The View crew until she was either fired, or she quit. She did make some controversial comments on the show. She now has her That's So Raven spin-off called Raven's Home, so she's keeping herself busy. It seems like she's doing okay career wise.
8 Edward Furlong: The Tough-Looking Kid From Terminator 2 Is Unrecognizable
Terminator 2: Judgement Day is what got Edward Furlong famous, but this once tough-looking kid has gotten into a lot of trouble with the law for years. He had two restraining orders from his ex-wife, and he had to go to court because he didn't pay child and spousal support. A few years later, he had a restraining order from his ex-girlfriend. It seems like his acting career went down the drain, and it's probably because of his bad reputation and drug addiction. It got in the way of what could've been a successful career. Maybe not. When we look at his recent picture, he's far from being attractive. His looks are getting worse day by day. He gained some weight, and he looks so miserable.
7 Jeremy Miller: He Didn't Have A Successful Career After Growing Pains
Jeremy Miller got his fame from his role as Ben in Growing Pains. He was adorable and lovable. Unfortunately, he had to deal with an older male stalker while filming for the TV show. He was only fourteen. Jeremy apparently had been having drinking problems for some time. He said he had his first drink when he was four years old, and he got really into it when he turned twelve. But, he's sober now, and that's great news! Anyways, he's not the cute kid he used to be. It's probably why he had a hard time finding roles. Hollywood is all about looking beautiful, for the most part. Leonardo DiCaprio who was also in Growing Pains isn't all that cute either, but he's charming, and he's one of the most successful actors.
6 Frankie Muniz: He Traded Acting For Race Car Driving After Malcolm In The Middle
Frankie Muniz's break out role was Malcolm in the Middle. He left Hollywood to be a race car driver. Even if he left his acting career after a successful run with his show, he's been living the good life. His net worth is apparently $40 million. Whoa, right? People thought he was so cute as Malcolm, but as he aged, they thought he looked pretty goofy. We can still see the resemblance from when he was a kid in his recent picture, but he definitely was better-looking as a kid. He's not bad now, but he didn't turn handsome or anything like people thought he would. He doesn't care because he's got money, and he's still been able to date a lot of attractive women.
5 Sean Astin: He Might Not Be Cute Anymore But He's Been Getting Good Roles
Sean Astin is famous for his character in the Lord of the Rings trilogy as Samwise Gamgee where he won many awards for his role. Some people might recognize him as Mikey Walsh in Goonies or even Rudy. He was absolutely adorable when he was a kid, but he's not cute anymore. It's a bit weird to expect cuteness from a grown man, but we thought he'd age better. It's okay though. He might not be cute anymore, but he's still been getting good roles. He's a great actor with amazing acting skills, so obviously, people will want him. We're happy that he's been having a successful career because there are a lot of actors who can't find jobs after their breakthrough performance. We look forward to watching more of Sean's shows!
4 Lark Voorhies: Is That Really You, Lisa Turtle?
We absolutely loved Lisa Turtle on Saved by the Bell. She was gorgeous, and she had the best style in fashion. We all wanted to be like her, but what happened? She definitely didn't age well. She's like a different person now with her strange makeup and all. We don't see any of her looks from the younger days in her recent pictures at all. It's unfortunate that she lost her looks because she was beautiful. Lark hasn't taken up roles after Saved by the Bell. She falls in the list of celebrities who used to be famous but no longer relevant. Apparently, she has bipolar disorder according to her mother, but she denies it. Anyways, it makes us sad that she's not the cute teen she used to be.
3 Rupert Grint: Ron Weasley Woke Up On The Wrong Side Of The Bed
Rupert Grint played Ron Wealsey in Harry Potter as Harry Potter's best friend. He was so adorable with his round face, red hair, and blue eyes. Everyone loved him, and he was probably the cutest actor in the movie. When we look at the picture of him now, he looks like he woke up on the wrong side of the bed. It shocked us when we saw what he looked like now. He has messy red hair, his beard isn't attractive, his dark eyes drop down to his cheeks, and his smile is not the one we're used to seeing. It broke our hearts because he looks like he's gone goth or something. We miss the young Ron Weasley. He'll forever have a special place in our hearts.
2 Danny Tamberelli: Little Pete To Big Pete
The Adventures of Pete and Pete was about two brothers, and we all know that Danny was the cuter one. When we look at his picture from his younger dates, we can't get enough of his cuteness because of his big brown eyes, red hair, adorable smile, and his chubby cheeks. We just want to pinch his cheeks! He still has those cheeks now, but no thank you. They're not baby fat, so. It seems like he's gained some weight throughout the years, because little Pete went big Pete. He doesn't act anymore, but he does other things. Anyways, he looks happy. It's probably because he's engaged. Congratulations! He met his fiancee on Tinder, so it seems like it is possible to meet the love of your life on an online dating app.
1 Lindsay Lohan: She Hasn't Been The Girl Next Door For A While
The Parent Trap star Lindsay Lohan was just 11 years old when she played twins in the movie. She was adorable, and she was still beautiful in Mean Girls, but something happened to her, and she got less attractive. Apparently, she got some work done to her face. People have been saying she looks different every time they see a new photo of her. She's also been in and out of rehab quite often, and she's gotten into trouble with the law a few times like the time she got arrest for her DUI. It's probably the drugs and the alcohol that made her spiral out of control. It's obvious that she hasn't been the girl next door for a while. We miss her, and we hope to see her in movies again.
