2) Did Jason Bateman get a nose job?
3) HBC - no fucking way. Did she get plastic surgery too? She looks horrible and nothing like her. Nose job and other stuff?
The majority of those people in that link were already stars and well known in their teens - not exactly earth shattering.

That list at R7 is so lazy. Yes, there are a few stars like Jack Black that became famous as adults, but it feels like so many of them are just regurgitating pictures of people who were once child stars.
It's not interesting to see a picture of a young Drew Barrymore. She has been famous since age seven!

The photo of Ron Howard in the above link isn't a good one. But I always found Ron Howard to be attractive. This one is more indicative of how he looked around age 19-20. Like most men, the early thinning of hair starting by age 30 did impact his looks though.
