Stars you knew as kids who are now hot... weirds me out

[rritterson]

I guess I am starting to get old or something, but I feel like a lot of the people that were on nickelodeon and other kids' networks as children are now adults and smoking hot.

And it creeps me out because every time I think they are hot, I get a flashback to when they were children. You ever get the same feeling?

The stereotypical example is the Olsen twins, though I don't really find them hot.

But try michelle trachtenberg. She's only like 18 months younger than I am, but still, I mean, jesus, I remember when she was like 10 and now look. There are racier pics too (PG13 to R, maybe NSFW)

I'm down with the nose. Hopefully it won't get plastic surgerized like so many of her contemporaries.

She was on Buffy, in some teen flicks, Six Feet Under and is currently playing a queen bitch in some show that I can't recall the name of.

I'm just thankful they're finally 18 so I don't feel bad any more.

Drew Barrymore is my age. Such a cutie in ET. Was disappointing to see her grow up to be such a trashy ho though.

The entire internets will sigh in relief when LazyTown girl is 18 (in a few months!).

I went to Jr. High with Bo Derek.

Interesting...I had no idea you were that old.

Little girls, even actresses, do grow up....

Frankly, I'm not surprised by the fact all these child actresses want to announce that they've left behind the "child" roles by posing for pics like this, it's been going on for quite a while.

True.

The same is not the case for dude child stars. Like those Cory guys in the 80s...aren't both of them meth addicts and/or dead now? Macauly Caulkin too. Cute kid for the role he played, and now just one goofy looking mofo!

Still looks 10. With boobs, to be sure, but still fundamentally 10-looking. :|

I prefer real women, but if you MUST toss out celebrities, Michelle Forbes.

I guess my point was not so much that she is the hottest woman evar, but that I remember when she was a kid and now she is an attractive adult and that is somehow weird...

It's not true with like, say, elementary school classmates I think because as a child celebrity, your childhood roles remain permanently part of your identity.

Real women? What are these stars cyborgs or somehow digitally rendered?

Go back even further: Danny Bonaduce, Lief Garrett... not saying it's a "death sentence" being a child star, but it sure takes a lot to not get caught up in it. (Ron Howard, Josh Brolin*, and Jodie Foster come to mind as successes in spite of the early success as a child actor.)

*Well, he does drink a tad and get in fights, but can't hold that against him.

Ron Howard didn't find success in front of the camera though. I was just saying it seems easier for girls to transition than boys.
