You wouldn't recognize them: what Hugh Laurie, Melanie Griffith, Robert De Niro and other actors looked like in their youth
Not all movie stars became famous at a young age. Many of today's famous actors gained fame well after the age of 30, so their fans have no idea what celebrities looked like when they were barely 20.
Often, over the decades of a career filled with stressful filming, busy schedules, and exhausting routines, artists change beyond recognition. OBOZ.UA decided to show what famous actors used to look like.
Hugh Laurie
The star of the TV series "House" became most famous when he was already 45 years old. The image of the cynical doctor stuck with the British actor for many years, even though he started his career 23 years earlier.
