15 Movie Stars When They Were Young
Which teen tearaways became screen dreams?
From cute kid...
She was born in 1972 to to a Cuban-American father and an Anglo-German mother and spent a lot more time around lads than ladies. " I grew up with a lot of boys. I probably have a lot of testosterone for a woman."
A stoner as a teenager, this all-blonde beauty spent her days as a beach bum, though the life wasn't as glamorous as it seems. The beach was 2 hours away by bus...
So who is it?
...To blonde star
Cameron Diaz!
Diaz describes her childhood as being "adventurous, independent, and tough."
She left home at 16 to see the world and for the next five years, she lived in Japan, Australia, Mexico, Morocco, and Paris working as a model for the the Elite agency.
Among her youthful modelling credits are shoots for Mademoiselle, Seventeen, Calvin Klein, Levi's, and Coca-Cola.
Before her sexy job, she admits that she spent most of her early teen days soaking up the sun and eating junk food. Harsh...
From class clown...
This winsome young woman was born in 1949, and nearly got lumbered with the name Flavia thanks to her father's obsession with R♛omꦓan history.
Th𝔍ankfully, Susan Alexander avoided that fate, though🅰 childhood wasn't all easy.
At the various private schools she attended, she was mocked for being taller than most of her classmates (she was 5' 10" at 13) a😼nd became a class joker to distract attention.

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Who is she?
...To no-nonsense broad
澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询: Sigourney Weaver!
Weaver was bor♛n in New York in 1949 and by the age of 10, her family - actress mother Elizabeth Inglis and TV producer fath💫er Sylvester Weaver Jr and older brother Trajan - had lived in 30 different houses.
Ac💖cording to the actress, she took a long time to find her true self: "I was one of those people who take so long to coalesce into a definite person - just this big♒ blob going through adolescence, trying to take in everything."
And she nabbed the🍌 name Sigourney at 14 based on a minor character in The Great Gatsby.
From picture perfect...
It's not that hard to believe that this smiley, attractive girl from Smyrna, Georgia turned into one of Americꦰa's most famous actresses, but that wasn't he🦹r original career plan.
A love of animals had her setting her sights on veterinary school, before switching to pursue journalism. But her family couldn't 🦩affor🎃d to send her to college.
"We didn't have the money, though my mom probably could have scraped it together. I probably could have applied myself more at school and gotten better grades to get a scholarship. So it's not really🦂, 'Wah, wah, wah... I didn't get to go to college.' I have yearnings to go back to school every other week. It just wasn't my path."
澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:And who is she?
... To America's sweetheart
澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询: Julia Roberts!
Despite early sadness - her parents divorced when she was fou🐓r and her father, who she was very close to, died of cancer five years later - Roberts enjoyed a largely happy childhood.
She atꦅtended Griffin Middle School and then Campbell High School in her home town a🙈nd played clarinet in the band.
At age 17, she caught the acting bug and travelled to New York with her sister Lꦆisa to study the artform. But while she registered for several classes, she didn't finish any of them.
澳洲幸𒁃运5开奖号码历史查询:Performing 🌞would have to wait a few years...
From rebel rouser...
Though the picture makes her look like a bruiser, our next subject had a relatively untroubled youth.
"I had a very happy childhood," she says. "I was lucky enough toꦗ have two parents who were very much in love and who had tremendous intellect, integrity and humour."
Still, she suffered from the same hangups most of us do...
"Seventh grade was my worst stage. I weighed about 13lbs, I had braces andꦛ my head was diꦑsproportionately large on my body.
"It was 1984 and I had decided to sh💮ave the back of🎃 my head."
澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:But just who did she turn out to 𓆉be?
...To sexy star
澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询: Gwyneth Paltrow!
Paltrow might come from a line of film folk - her parents, after all, are director Bruc🧔e Paltrow and actress Blythe Danner - but the young woman didn't immeditately see stage or screen as her calling.
She gained her first real acting experience around the age of ⛦11 (in the summer stock productions her dad was directing), but studied art history in New York and Calfornia before realising her destiny.
And though she's turned into a healthy actress, she did have something of a wild side in her teens: "I was a naughty child who caused 📖trouble. I'd pretend to be going to the theatre when I was 😼out drinking cocktails."
From big grin...
This smiling Kentucky native must've known something about his📖 famous future.
But he didn't have it all easy -during one of his younger school days, he was struck with B🍰ell's Palsy, which partially paralyzes the face. His cruel classmates nicknamed him Frankenstein.
"That was th🦋e wors😼t time of my life," he recalls. "You know how cruel kids can be. I was mocked and taunted, but the experience made me stronger."
Strong enough - and studious enough - that he earned As and Bs at high school and played baseball and basketball (the latter a passion which h🍒as stuck to this day). He even tried out for a professional b𒀰aseball team , but didn't make the cut.
澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Still, acting beckoned - who is he?
...To leading man
澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询: George Clooney!
George Timothy Clooney is the son of former pageant queen Nina Bruce and journalist Ni𓆉ck Clooney.
The young actor was exposed to screen work early when his father would bring him into the studio during his talk shows. George quickly became an audience ಌfavourite - even at age 5.
But though he latched on to acting after dropping out of two colleges, he's glad he didn't become famous overnight: "It was a bi𝕴g help. If I was as famous as some people are at eighteen years old, I would have been shooting crack into my throat. But you can't remain famous like that over a long period of time."
