1. James McAvoy
In 2005, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe was released, where McAvoy played Mr. Tumnus. If we don't see him closely, it's hard to recognize the Scottish actor with that peculiar wardrobe. On the other hand, Professor Xavier, his character in the X-Men saga, seems less ostentatious, but the curious thing is that James actually shaved his head to play the role.
2. Freddy Highmore
That innocent child who finds the golden ticket in one of the Wonka chocolates is neither more nor less than a young Freddie Highmore. It was Johnny Depp who recommended Tim Burton to watch the boy, as he had been impressed by his role in Finding Never Land. In The Good Doctor, we already see him of legal age, but with his look and his pristine features.
3. Logan Lerman
The story of The Butterfly Effect, which has Ashton Kutcher (Evan) as the protagonist, returns many times to events from the character's childhood. Plays the 7-year-old Evan is the actor Logan Lerman, the protagonist of the Percy Jackson stories. Between one film and the other (the images above), 9 years passed. On one side we see a child and on the other, an adult.
4. Henry Thomas
Elliott, that lonely 9-year-old boy who forges a peculiar friendship with an alien, was played by a young Henry Thomas. Thirty-six years later, in The Haunting of Hill House, a horror series produced for Netflix, Henry played Hugh Crain, a house seller who, along with his wife and their 5 children, experiences paranormal events in a very particular.
5. Christopher Lloyd
Who knew that the particular Uncle Lucas from The Addams Family—with his bald head, pale skin, and dark circles under his eyes—is also Dr. Emmett Brown from Back to the Future? Reading it, he sounds crazy, but when we compare the faces, we see Christopher Lloyd's features. The magic of the cinema.
6. Joseph Mazzello
From running from dinosaurs to playing bass in the glorious band Queen: Joseph Mazzello played Tim Murphy in Jurassic Park and John Deacon in Bohemian Rhapsody, the story of Freddie Mercury. In real life he is an actor, screenwriter, and film director and, after the 2020 quarantine, he is also a YouTuber.
7. Max Thieriot
The rebellious teenager in Bulletproof Babysitter, who seems troublesome but is a lover of theater and musical comedy, was played by Max Thieriot, who was 15 when this film was released with Vin Diesel in the lead. Dylan Massett, the half-brother of Norman (Freddie Highmore) in Bates Motel, is none other than Max himself.
8. Sarah Jessica Parker
Another case where makeup and acting talent did their thing. The youngest of the three Sanderson sisters, the witches of Abracadabra, is the beautiful actress Sarah Jessica Parker. Very few people would have guessed that the romantic protagonist of the very famous series S*x and the City had also acted in a Disney movie.
9. Elle Fanning
In Daddy's Daycare, the Disney movie starring Eddie Murphy, many children appear. Among all of them, there is a very eccentric blonde girl who even calls her mother on her cell phone in a moment of chaos in the nursery. She was a little Elle Fanning, the young actress who participated in movies like Super 8 and Maleficent.
10. Andrew Lincoln
Truly love was characterized by having a choral plot with many stars that interact with each other, thanks to the fact that its script intertwines various love stories. One of these characters is a young Andrew Lincoln, the same actor who was commissioned to play Sheriff Rick Grimes, who fights against the zombie apocalypse in The Walking Dead.
