I always think it is so fun to see celebrities “Then & Now” pictures. Sometimes, I think we just view stars as being trapped in this glamorous frozen state of being, but once upon a time they were actually just normal people too! I also find it entertaining to think back to when we first saw these celebrities make their big debuts. For instance we all know that The Mickey Mouse Club turned out Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Kerri Russell, Ryan Gosling, and Christina Aguilera, and helped launch them to where they are today. However, what about some of our other favorite stars out there? Where did they get started?
We first saw Fergie and…
… Jennifer Love Hewitt on Kids Incorporated.
We met Joshua Jackson via The Mighty Ducks.
Or perhaps you recognize Katherine Heigl from her role in the Disney Channel movie Wish Upon a Star.

I LOVE WISH UPON A STAR!! It’s one of my favorite movies. Moonpools & Caterpillars music is in there!! Wow, that was back when Katherine wasnt a damn diva…& this is coming from a fan of her previous work! Ever since Grey’s she seems so snobby & she’s not even close to the level of more respected TV turned movie stars. When I heard she took her name off of the Emmy consideration list a year after winning because she “felt she didnt do much on the show to earn one”, they should have fired her. Ungrateful heifer.
Other good then & now stars…hmm….Leonardo DiCaprio, The Olsen Twins (Even though they havent done much in recent years. Did they ever finish college??), George Clooney (who’s an EXCELLENT example of a TV to movie star), & Drew Barrymore. There’s ALOT more but I have stuff going on so that’s all I can get off the top of my head.

Wow, they’re all… adorable.
Can’t forget a young Ben Affleck in The Voyage of the Mimi, though.

I didn’t know that was Katherine Heigl in Wish upon a star! Thats my favorite Disney movie ever…well, along with don’t look under the bed and Zenon ( don’t judge!). Anyways, I always forget that Fergie was a child actress back in her day. Wasn’t she the voice of Lucy for Charlie brown? I probably just made that up but oh wells
