16 high school yearbook photos of celebrities

New York Magazine recently featured high-school yearbook photos of celebrities, and they're awesome. Can you guess the four people above? And here are 12 more...



From top: Steve Buscemi, Amy Poehler, Zooey Deschanel, Jason Alexander, Eva Longoria, Alec Baldwin, Matt Lauer, Jennifer Garner, Oprah, Matt LeBlanc, Jesse Eisenberg, Madonna, Hillary Clinton, Stanley Tucci, Paul Rudd and…Louis C.K.!

Amy Poehler's bangs are awesome. I want to be friends with Stanley Tucci. Madonna went to my Michigan high school. Jesse Eisenberg still looks exactly the same.

Did you guess them all? Any surprises?

  3. Oh man, Paul Rudd's is horrifying! I saw this piece the other day and the one that stood out to me as the most surprising was Tara Reid, for some reason.

    2. I agreed about Paul Rudd. He looks like a typical early 1990s smarmy guy! Every guy in my sister's high school class had that haircut.

  9. It's interesting that the two who look most similar to how they are now & are the most instantly recognisable (to me anyway)....are Oprah & Hillary Clinton!! They must be the two oldest too. I guess people get more work done these days!!

  10. It is so funny to see Jason Alexander with all that hair!!

    And, boy, Alec Baldwin was a heart breaker...those dimples!

  11. Jennifer Garner looks like her younger self in 13 Going on 30!

  12. Omg! I LOVE seeing these!! I don't know if it's more fun knowing who it is like Paul Rudd is a dead giveaway, or not knowing who it is and being suprised?!?! I can't believe that's Madonna and I didn't recognize Alec Baldwin!! Awesome!

  30. Hillary is gorgeous!

    ReplyDelete

  31. I guessed Mark Zuckerberg at the Jesse Eisenberg photo. Funny! Good casting call there, then I guess.

    ReplyDelete

  32. I love that Zooey D. went through an awkward phase just like the rest of us! The only one that stumped me was Louis C.K., but I'm loving his sneer.

    Where's your high school yearbook photo, Joanna? :)

    ReplyDelete

  33. I totally thought Zooey Deschanel was Katy Perry. Even back then...It's the big eyes.

  39. Joanna! I had no idea you were from the Rochester Hills area, if you went to Adams!! I grew up in downtown Rochester! Such a small world!

    ReplyDelete

  40. Skinny Chris Christie! What a cutie.

    ReplyDelete

  41. definitely surprised by jason alexander...and paul rudd is rocking it.

    ReplyDelete

  42. Stanley Tucci + Paul Rudd would be my high school BFFs. And, if I was pushing my luck, also Amy Poehler and Hillary Clinton. I think Louis C.K. and I would have ended up in a brawl from this picture alone, but I love him so I think I'd force hugs on him.

    ReplyDelete

  43. I'm totally diggin Amy's hair!

    ReplyDelete

  44. Another Adams girl :) Seaholm here.

    ReplyDelete

  45. Oh my. Stanley Tucci was such a cutie!

    ReplyDelete

  46. So hilarious because I had the EXACT same thought about Stanley Tucci; I totally thought to myself, I want to be his friend. He just looks so funny and sarcastic in that picture. And he's the only one I really had such a specific reaction to-great minds must really think alike! Love this.

  47. Paul Rudd :)....

  56. No questioning that's Jennifer Garner, she looks exactly the same!!

    ReplyDelete

  57. Didn't know you were from Rochester either! My mom also went to the same school as Madonna.

    ReplyDelete

  58. I recognized Steve Buscemi right away, he's probably one of the very few actors who left their teeth "au naturel"!! i can't believe I didn't recognize Zooey Deschanel right away, I'm a huge New Girl fan!! She hasnt changed a bit!As for Alec Baldwin, I prefer him now!!! Loved that post!!

    ReplyDelete

  59. I didn't recognize some! Madonna has changed a lot through her years though haha and Zooey Deschanel's unique features haven't changed a lot but physically, she is very thin now, almost so that you'd think she'd never been anything but. I love seeing these photos, thank you for sharing!

  67. These are fun. Nice reminders that we are all just people living life. Hey - attended/graduated from Adams too .. 30 years ago ha! Good times.

    ReplyDelete

  68. Did not know you were an Adams grad - we are all coming out of the woodwork on this post! After freshman orientation, we ran to the library to look up Madonna's picture on the class composites (dorks!). It was around the time of "Like a Prayer" when she was absolutely everywhere, 1987.
