Hollywood heartthrobs: 5 actors who were incredibly attractive in their youth. Photo

Try to recall the oldest movie that starred actor Richard Gere. You probably think of Pretty Woman (1990) starring Julia Roberts. When the movie was released, Richard was 41 years old. A mature age. And this means that you have hardly seen him in his youth (the exception is if you are a fan of him and have already managed to find a photo online).

There are quite a few actors who became famous in their 40s and 50s. So, let's find out how they looked like when they were young in the OBOZ.UA article. Spoiler alert: they were just as attractive and charismatic.

1. Robert Downey Jr. (58 years old)

American actor and film producer Robert Downey Jr. has changed his image dramatically if we compare his photos from his youth and now. He let go of his short mustache and beard, changed his style from casual to classic suits and sunglasses, and recently decided to shave his head.

2. Ian McKellen (84)

The British actor Ian McKellen, aka Gandalf from the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy, became popular at a respectable age: with noble gray hair, a wise look and classic trousers with accent straight-cut jackets. But he was once very young and carefree: he had lush black hair and wore T-shirts/sweaters with jeans.

3. George Clooney (62 years old)

The American actor, director, producer and screenwriter George Clooney in the photo "then" and "now" are like two different people. His beard, mustache, new hairstyle and other clothing preferences have changed him beyond recognition. The carefree young man has turned into a respectable man with wise eyes.

4. Richard Gere (74 years old)

At the beginning of his film career, American actor Richard Gere often went hungry because his small fees were not enough for a good meal. The young man was quite thin, with clearly defined cheekbones. He wore shirts popular in the 70s, leather jackets, and jeans.

5. Jude Law (50 years old)

If the British actor Jude Law had not been able to realize himself in the movies, he would definitely have become a prominent figure in the fashion world. In his youth, he had a penetrating gaze, thick blond hair, expressive facial features, and the right body parameters. Now he is a man with a lush beard, well styled hair, and well chosen suits.
