Time Flies, And These 23 "Then Vs. Now" Photos Of Celebrity Kids Are The Best Proof
Beckham, Smith, Baldwin, Kravitz... incredible, really.
Being born into a celebrity family is a gift or a curse? Celebrity kids can’t agree on that since many of them have taken advantage of their famous last names and connections in showbiz to build successful careers, while others have struggled with the popularity their last names bring and developed serious issues such as depression and substance abuse.
It is so sad; they didn’t ask to be famous, and they never wanted to be in the spotlight. Well, willingly or unwillingly, some of the celebrity kids are still in the spotlight, even decades later.
Is it because of their success, charm, or simply because of their famous parents? It is hard to say. We have collected 23 interesting photos of famous kids “then and now,” and they perfectly illustrate how time flies.
Beckham, Smith, Baldwin, Kravitz… are all famous last names we grew up with, and it looks like our kids will grow up seeing these last names too. Only they are carried by different people – our idols’ kids.
Someone once said that history has a funny habit of repeating itself. Well, we guess this is a perfect example of it.

It sure looks like dynasties of famous people are occupying our media. Do the celebrities’ kids deserve that popularity, or are they just taking advantage of their famous last names?
We think it has to be both. The last name can give you a push, but if you don’t have any charm, you can’t remain popular.
Right?
