Most celebrities are attractive enough to be models.
But the following celebrities actually made a living as models prior to striking it big in other industries.
In the following collection of flashback photos, we take a look at some of their most awkward, revealing and downright hilarious pictures from a very long time ago…
Robert Pattinson
The face looks much younger, but the hair is as awesome as ever.
Chris Pratt
Leave Blue Steel to Ben Stiller. Sorry, Chris, but it’s true.
Keanu Reeves
There’s only one word for this old school Keanu photo: WHOA!
Angelina Jolie
No, really! This is Angelina! It is NOT a photo of Mila Kunis!
Channing Tatum
Five years before Step Up, Tatum showed off his fake blonde locks in a campaign for Abercrombie & Fitch.
Jimmy Fallon
We just assume this is the one time Fallon was NOT cracking up during a take.
Tom Cruise
AWWW! He wasn’t even a Scientologist yet in this photo!
Charlize Theron
She wasn’t yet a “Monster.” Or an Oscar winner, for that matter.
George Clooney
This was snapped around the time Clooney debuted on The Facts of Life.
Gwyneth Paltro
Yes, we’ll count this PSA photo as a modeling shot. Look at retro Gwyneth!
Hayden Panettiere
Save the Cheerleader, Save the… whatever. WHEEE!
James Marsen
He’s just oozing sex appeal here.
January Jones
Another former Abercrombie & Fitch model.
Ashton Kutcher
This is a quality impression of Taylor Lautner.
Jared Leto
Just… wow.
Taylor Swift
Yup, another Abercrombie & Fitch model.
Katherine Heigl
This remains her best role aside from Grey’s Anatomy.
Kirsten Dunst…
… and that’s Lindsay Lohan!!!!!! We’ll give you a moment to get over the shock.
Kylie Jenner
Kylie is still a model, sort of. But this is an official campaign for Sears.
Lindsay Lohan
Why does Lindsay look so sad? Did she know what we life would become?
Brad Pitt
Hey, Brad, AC Slater would like his tanktop back.
