Celebrities ... they're just like us, right?

If you put aside all the wealth and fame and success and, well, yeah. Hey, at least they were once kind of like us! We were reminded of that fact this week when #oldheadshotday started trending and scores of celebs took the opportunity to tweet pictures from their past.

The results are truly wonderful.

For starters, let's take a look at America's funny man, Stephen Colbert. Did you know he wasn't born with an arched eyebrow? Neither did we!

Intergalactic heartthrob Mark Hamill also brought a strong game, putting to rest all doubt that Luke could pull off a tank top.

Minnie Driver, of course, appears to have for all intents and purposes always been perfect.

And, thankfully, many more joined in the fun.

It's enough to give hope to all the extremely talented, lucky, hard working, and good looking people out there that they too may one day grow up to be famous.
