Keanu Reeves: Youngblood
We’re always taken aback and amazed by Keanu Reeves’ inability to age. While you may have thought he came to film prominence as a goofball in Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, he first played an innocent goaltender for the Hamilton Mustangs in Youngblood. And in the John Wick franchise, he locks and loads and uses his fists to disarm his enemies. Decades and several Matrix installments later, he doesn’t appear to be slowing down.
Tom Hanks: He Knows You’re Alone
Listed as one of the most trustworthy contemporary actors, Tom Hanks perfectly plays the role of Mr. Rogers, an equally beloved individual, in A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. Forty years back, he was a psychology student in a slasher film, He Knows You’re Alone, and his first film role was drastically different. Since then, his roles have been softer, gentler, and much more lovable. Why do we adore this two-time Oscar winner so much? Because apart from getting us all to cry over a bloodstained volleyball, he’s got a sterling reputation for being generous and kind to his fans.
Scarlett Johansson: North
Who would have thought the Black Widow would look like this as a child? At just 9, Scarlett Johansson landed a role in the 1994 film North, directed by comedy monolith Rob Reiner. Unfortunately, the film received rather unflattering reviews. Johansson’s true breakthrough came when she was 18 when she starred in Lost in Translation. In Marriage Story, she plays a theater actress who splits from her husband. Confrontations become caustic and real, with both characters divulging their discontentment about their relationship. It garnered her much acclaim, and she seems closer to nabbing her own Oscar win.
Angelina Jolie: Lookin’ to Get Out
Jolie’s child, Shiloh, totally resembles her in this throwback picture. Seven-year-old Angelina made a screen debut in a comedy co-written by her Oscar-winning actor father, Jon Voight, the movie Lookin’ to Get Out. During her marriage to Brad Pitt, she created one of the most famous families in Hollywood. Beyond her acting career, Jolie has famously taken up humanitarian causes, empowering women in impoverished countries and bringing awareness to cancer.
