21 Then Vs. Now Pictures of Disney and Nickelodeon Characters From Our Childhood
These famous characters from our childhood have us screaming when we see them now.
We all loved watching Disney and Nickelodeon as children, and some of us even love watching them now. However, one thing we often forget is that we grew up with these characters. Just as we are navigating our adult lives now, they are also in their adult lives.
This makes it quite surprising when we see those celebrities we watched every day looking like complete adults when we can only really picture them in the shows we've seen them in. It truly is fun to see their glow-up.
"Then vs. Now" photos are among the most popular when it comes to celebrities because it's always enjoyable to look at how these stars appeared at their age compared to how they look now. This is especially entertaining because some of these celebrities haven't even been seen since we watched them on Disney and Nickelodeon.
We've compiled some of our favorite childhood actors that we probably haven't seen in a while, and we are going to take a look at what they looked like then versus what they look like now. If you're ready to see these surprising differences, then let's dive into it.

These "then vs. now" photos of our favorite childhood actors are seriously unmissable. I mean, who would've thought that they'd grow up to be so good-looking?!
I know I love to see how celebrities are growing and thriving once they leave the shows I know them from. These celebrities definitely grew up on us, and they aren't children anymore.
