Check out these child-hood photos of what the usual sexy celebrities looked like when they were a bit younger, sadly none of them were really ugly and some of them were cut children. Which kind of defeats the whole thing of the ugly duckling becoming the gorgeous swan.

Beyonce
Multi-talented Beyonce Knowles wasn’t always a renowned actress, super model, record producer and musical performer. Beyonce’s amazing voice was first discovered when she wowed the crowd at her Texan high school’s talent show. Even in her pre-teen picture, she poses with style and has a little glint of starlet in her cute blue eyes.

Angelina Jolie
Academy Award winning actress Angelina Jolie has been widely referred to as one of the most beautiful women in the world. Even in her old photograph, Jolie retains an aura of sultry maturity. In fact, Jolie’s old picture has begun to look better than her present state ever since a picture of her gummy plastic surgery neck hit the tabloids.

Rihanna
Rihanna began her recording career when she moved to the US from the Barbados at the age of sixteen. At her current age of 22, Rihanna has earned over ten chart topping Billboard hits. To non-Rihanna lovers, she’s best known for getting the shit kicked out of her by R&B performer Chris Brown. Who could punch a cute little face like that? Only a douchebag.

Adriana Lima
Adriana Lima is another international supermodel famous for her role as a Victoria’s Secret Angel. Multi-lingual Brazilian beauty Lima says she didn’t have her fist kiss until she was 17 years old, attributing the late start to her shyness around boys. Unlike most celebrities, Lima is public about her strong religious beliefs and choice to remain celibate until marriage.

Doutzen Kroes
Cute little Doutzen Kroes grew up to be a smoking hot international super model who has walked the runway for Gucci, Escada, Versace, Hugo Boss, and many other fashion icons. Kroes was born in the Netherlands and sent her photographs to a modeling agency shortly after graduating high school.

Megan Fox
Damn, Megan Fox! What a unibrow on that girl. At least she’s pretty much the hottest woman on the planet right now. She could frame this picture above her bed and laugh about it with everyone she knows — without caring even a little bit. Fox, famous for her roles in Transformers and Jennifer’s Body, has a true ugly-ducking-to-swan story.

Jennifer Lopez
When pop star Jennifer Lopez sang ‘I’m Still Jenny From The Block’, this is certainly not who we imagined her former self to be. A cute little girl with big brown eyes, Lopez grew up to be a sexy musical performer with a big round butt.

Bar Refaeli
Israeli supermodel Bar Rafaeli began modeling before she reached one year in age, appearing in a baby commercial. Rafaeli was guided by her mother, who was also a successful model. A need for braces caused her to take a modeling hiatus until she entered back into the game and earned multiple victories in Model of The Year competitions beginning when she was just fifteen.

Gisele Bundchen
Gisele Bundchen is a Brazilian supermodel so successful that she’s become the sixteenth most wealthy woman in the entire world. Always a star, even in her high school years, this picture doesn’t look unlike many of her recent modeling photographs.

Taylor Swift
Singer-Songwriter Taylor Swift is still pretty young, earning her first platinum record at just 20 years old. Besides the blonde hair, her childhood picture next to a pony doesn’t look too much like today’s Grammy award winning beauty.

Miranda Kerr
This very vanilla picture of Miranda Kerr makes her look like a mom from the Hamptons. Kerr is an Australian supermodel best known for her work as a Victoria’s Secret Angel, but her first notable work was as a Billabong model in the late 90s. Her young image above is from a 1998 Dolly Magazine photo shoot, controversial because Kerr was only 13 years old at the time.

Jennifer Aniston
Jennifer Aniston is an American actress best known for her role as Rachel on Friends. Aniston played a quirky, fun loving girl-next-door character that would later become her trademark — and this college snapshot is clearly foreshadowing.

Halle Berry
Halle Berry’s high school picture is so tame it’s almost hard to believe; she’s wearing what looks like scrubs with little cartoon pencils printed on them. Berry moved to Illinois in the early 80s, where she acted in a number of television sitcoms, but received her big break from her role in Spike Jonze’s Jungle Fever. Halle has been on countless ‘Hottest Women’ lists and remains a total sex pot today.

Jessica Biel
Pictured above with Scarlett Johansson, American actress and model Jessica Biel hasn’t changed much. America watched her grow up on the family oriented television series 7th Heaven; Biel certainly looks much older today, but no less beautiful.

Nicole Kidman
Nicole as a kid is almost cuter than the plastic lipped Nicole of today. However, there was a time when Kidman was a sex icon, and everything she did radiated beauty. Kidman was born in Hawaii, but is of Australian descent. Her road to fame began when she appeared on a number of Australian sitcoms in the mid eighties.
If I was a celebrity I would always cringe when my childhood photos got released, I was a cute baby but the shit my mother dressed me in were awful. Check the source for more photos.

A prestigious art museum in London is under fire for their decision to display a nude photo of a 10-year-old Brooke Shields that critics and child advocates fear will be a “magnet for pedophiles.”

A detail from the original photograph of Brooke Shields by Gary Gross, which Richard Prince used in his artwork displayed at the Tate.
The image, titled ‘Spiritual America,’ is the work of Richard Prince and shows the young actress naked from the knees up, wearing make-up and covered in oil. She is looking directly at the camera.
Tate Modern decided to display the image in their ‘Pop Life: Art In a Material World‘ show after seeking legal advice and moved the piece to a separate room that warns visitors of its “challenging imagery.”
‘Spiritual America’ is actually a 1983 photograph of a 1975 photograph taken by artist Gary Gross, who hired Shields as a model and claims he had her mother’s consent. She tried unsuccessfully to buy back the negatives in 1981, before Prince incorporated it as his own. A judge ruled her as a “hapless victim of a contract.”
Children’s advocates reacted to the Tate’s decision with shock. Michaele Elliott, founder of Kidscape, told the Telegraph he felt Shields was being exploited.
“She could not have given informed consent to it being used. It must be bordering on child pornography. It is certainly not art.
If you are using a picture of a naked child to bring people to your exhibition, then you are exploiting that child. It’s as if they are using a 10-year-old girl for bait. I find it disturbing and they should be ashamed of themselves. And putting the picture in a room with a warning outside really is a magnet for pedophiles.”
Well, apparently that contract really doesn’t mean jack. The image has been removed from display after a visit to Tate Modern by officers from the obscene publications unit of the Metropolitan police.
