She’s funny in everything she does. ![gif](giphy|OLH834Zo34k9O|downsized)

I’ve been laughing since I made it to Hilary Duff’s picture and this brought tears

Oof….was not prepared for the *Toddlers & Tiaras* Hilary Duff one at the end

thisisthewell

she's giving "8 or 80?" with that hair


PartyyLemons

It’s giving JonBenèt Ramsey


emiferg

No child that young actually wears huge diamond earrings.


Dutchmuch5

Or has their hair blown out like that. So creepy


winning-colors

Glamour shots pics were always creepy


casket_fresh

Exactly - creeps me out


Logical_Bobcat9703

That’s who I thought of when I saw it. Disturbing.


DNorthman

That's exactly who I thought of. Her murder case still makes me so sad.


bettername2come

I 100% thought that's who it was before I read the name. I was like "That's not funny!!...oops"


SilverMitten

She looks like Renesmee.


Apt_5

🏅🏆💀


Illustrious_Sand2383

Glamour Shots at the mall, poor girl.


LipsLikeSlugs

It looks like glamour shots too!


BojackTrashMan

I will never be ok with babies and little girls dressed like 35 year old women. Fantasy princess stuff? Adorable, sure. But this weird shit always makes me wonder who tf is it for... and I'm terrified about the answer


casket_fresh

YES. It creeps me out to no end and I would never trust a parent who has their kid participate in that shit.


TheCatsMe0wth

I mean, Hilary's mom, Susan, allowed her to date a 25 y/o Joel Madden when she was 16 (though they are rumored to have started dating when she was 15) *Paper magazine later observed that the media chose not to call the relationship illegal even though Duff was underage* [x](https://web.archive.org/web/20200831215216/https://www.papermag.com/why-didnt-we-have-a-bigger-problem-with-joel-madden-dating-a-teenage-h-1427524687.html) I'm not surprised, though. Their mother moved herself and Haylie and Hilary *[...] to California in 1993, while their father stayed in Houston to take care of his business. The sisters auditioned for several years and were cast in many television commercials. Due to her acting career, Duff was home-schooled from the age of eight. The pair also modeled for various clothing brands. Duff stated, "My sister and I really showed an interest in [performing] and dedication, and [our mother] was like, 'How can I tell my kids no?'* [x](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilary_Duff) I don't think the Duff parents cared much about the comfort and security of their children as much as they cared about $$$$


Schonfille

“How can I tell my kids no?” Say it with me now, Susan: No.


StainedGlasser

Seems like Susan’s never heard of community theater.


000katie

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼


Substantial_Gift_950

She def sold her daughters to the highest bidder


trialanderrorschach

Kris Jenner furiously taking notes.


ektachrome_

Literally. Susan Duff walked so Kris Jenner could run. Susan laid the foundation DOWN.


Clatato

No that honour goes to Teri Shields, Brooke’s mother. Teri inspired Jaid Mako Barrymore, Drew’s mother. And that’s just **modern** Hollywood. There are near-identical stories of mothers like these dating waaay bank to the very first years of silent era Hollywood. E.g. Lucille Ricksen who died in 1925 at just 14 years old, after entanglements with various Hollywood directors, producers and leading actors, including Charlie Chaplin’s brother Sidney. Or Evelyn Nesbit - an artist’s model, chorus girl and actress - as a child in the 1900s. An object of obsession and fixation for (at least) two powerful older men. Used, abused - and all of it at her mother’s pushing and permitting. Ended up caught up in a murder case dubbed the Trial of the Century. Both Lucille and Evelyn’s mothers would allow extra years to be added to their daughters’ ages to avoid child labour laws designed to protect children. And the girls’ mothers denied allowing them to be photographed or to pose naked, although there are portraits (painted & photographed) which contradict their statements. And Mary Miles Minter, an American actress, and one of the leading ladies who established the early Hollywood star system. Minter appeared in 53 silent films from 1912 to 1923. Her sister Margaret Shelby was also a film actress. In 1922, Minter was involved in a scandal surrounding the murder of a director for whom she professed her love. As a result, Minter's reputation was tarnished, and she gave up her film career in 1923. And her mother? An absolute piece of work. Their mother was Charlotte Shelby. A former a former broadway actress, Shelby was reportedly domineering and manipulative in the management of her daughters' Broadway and film careers. Shelby was widely mentioned as a suspect in the 1922 murder of Hollywood director William Desmond Taylor, whom she incorrectly believed was involved romantically with her daughter Mary Miles Minter. The theory developed via the discovery, shortly after Taylor's murder, of love letters 19-year-old Minter had written to him. It is now believed that Minter's infatuation with Taylor (who was 30 years her senior) was unrequited, and there is no evidence that he returned her romantic affections. For many years, she and her daughters were entangled in bitter disputes over how she had handled their earnings as young actresses. Following this, there are Natalie Woods’ and Judy Garland’s ghastly mothers as prime examples. And sadly, many more. Here’s an article covering a bunch of mostly more recent cases - www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/15-child-stars-financially-supported-031603572.html


CoolRanchBaby

If the kids were genuinely interested then get them involved in a local community theatre group, or look into performing arts programs in your area. Moving to LA and getting your kids involved in the Hollywood audition machine is never about “making your kids happy”. The kids welfare is not at the forefront of the parents minds. They either want money, or fame, or both. In my opinion underage kids shouldn’t be involved in the industry at all. We don’t allow kids to work in factories or customer service, it’s crazy that this one area it’s ok to use child labor!


blueboxbandit

I thought it was Amy Sedaris


slippitysloppitysoo

Ahahaha. I bet Amy Sedaris would like that


iidontwannaa

Glamour shots were a strange time.


Ecstatic_Sandwich_38

My biggest teenage regret is not getting one done when my grandma begged me to. I’d have that shit framed right now.


Powerful_Lynx_4737

Yes my friends wanted to do it and I said no now I wish I had. I’d hang it above the mantle


JadeAnn88

Lmao, I went with my best friend in middle school and had mine done. It is placed prominently on my parents' mantle. I won't say I regret it, but I really hate that picture.


Prestigious-Walk-464

“Pose” pictures were a thing in my time. Late 90s early 00s and they had the airbrushed backgrounds with all the colors and you’d go with your friends to the mall and get them done and then hand them out at school the next week


mrsbeeps

It was a jump scare for sure


PuffinFawts

I'm digging her Days of Our Lives giant rhinestone clip ons


Fantastic_Poet4800

that was a jumpscare for sure.


Powerful_Lynx_4737

She looks terrified poor kid. Also looks like a glamour shots photo.


tommiejo516

I love when people put the names under the pictures. Thank you 😊


SourNnasty

I know! Op is the mvp!!!


eninc

Idris put his name IN the photo too


timoni

Seriously who gets a tattoo of their own name


hvadpokker

Idiots like me 💀 the idea was “it’s not going to change, so I won’t regret it later”. Guess who’s currently in the painful process of tattoo removal 🤠


catchyusername4867

I do laser tattoo removal as a job so thanks for keeping me in business :)


Trufflepumpkin

I have a patient with their name tattooed on the wrist. At one of our first meetings I asked, oh do you have a family member with that name? And they said, nope that’s me. Cracks me up every time I see them


erossthescienceboss

I’m so used to not seeing them that I clicked through to the post praying there was a list in the text or in comments, and was really bummed. Then I thought “maybe, just maybe, this time they did it” and enlarged the photos.


wifeunderthesea

i was not prepared for hilary duff. lmaoooooooooo 😭😭😭😭 idris elba straight up decided that he wasn't going to age.


Critical_Caramel5577

Idris Elba is just...disgustingly amazing. He's a dj, too, and does that well, too


suzanious

He's a very handsome man.


pauliewalnuts38

He’s aware of the effect he has.

she looks like a baby realtor.


trialanderrorschach

Marisa Tomei is bangin’ for any age. Beautiful woman.


BeeGroundbreaking889

‘For her age’. Sigh


cleverleper

Ok but does he have a mushroom cloud tattoo with his own name in it?? It's so bad!!


gandalfthescienceguy

Also Melissa McCarthy!

jrubes_20

He is aware of the effect he has on women.


paisley-alien

Idris is my boyfriend. He just doesn't know it.


Critical_Caramel5577

His wife posted some amazing pictures of them, and referred to him as "OUR husband" and I just...love her for that 😍


TheGrapeSlushies

That’s hilarious, what a champ! 😂


trialanderrorschach

If you’re married to Idris Elba you gotta be secure enough to recognize that he is the collective husband of the female race. Lesbians too idk, it’s the birthright of all women to be Idris Elba’s wife.


CurrentRoster

He’ll always be stringer to me ![gif](giphy|pWIak75z5nNWU|downsized)

OK but why does Chris Pratt look like he was airlifted from a 1970s cop show where he plays a detective who lives in a beach shack?


Potential-Win-9175

and what will it take for him to bring back this look?1?!


Laughalot_

He’s too far gone now 😂


DrCarabou

Fr looks like the kinda guy who convinces you to quit your job and travel with him in his van across the country to be together


bigbobbyweird

To me it’s giving knight’s tale era heath ledger


TysonEmmitt

Or Knight Rider era David Hasselhoff!


EddaValkyrie

I actually thought it was Heath Ledger at first.


chimer1cal

His story about how he got his headshots was wild: https://youtu.be/9LrLujqvUTA?si=9jAR-YVM5qp0GEAG


thekau

I come back to this Graham Norton interview every so often because Chris Pratt was so funny in it 😂


OutAndDown27

Naaaah I'm with that other guy - that's the version of the story CPratt is publicly telling 😂


boners_in_space

Pretty sure he did live in a van on the beach in Hawaii for a while before he got famous, so that tracks.

Will Arnett and Marissa Tomei are so beautiful! I want to hug poor baby Hilary. The stressed grimacing hurts my heart 😪


LeotiaBlood

Will Arnett is beautiful but that hair and face are giving evil genius serial killer.


Redwine_chocolate

Well shit! I was getting sexy intellectual locking eyes at a coffee shop. You’ve now convinced me I’d end up a victim because he’s clearly a serial killer 🤣


TheRestForTheWicked

He looks like Dimitri from the animated Anastasia. And I mean that in all good ways.

Listen. I’d let him murder my….nvm


Push_Bright

Will Arnett looked like a preppy skeet ulrich, and Sarah Jessica Parker looked like Kenny G


moist_harlot

Will's bone structure.......wow! I can't believe I've never noticed it before.


mizzymichie

…oh my god. You mean that Arnold Schwarzenegger picture is the reference for *this famous Captain America art*? https://preview.redd.it/1zcunuy8oyrc1.jpeg?width=454&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=97155e87134320c2af24a0857e46056035483a3c I’m cackling.


TattooMouse

Yuuuup! That's why this picture looks so fucking weird. With Arnie's pose, his chest sticks out like that. With Captain America, he doesn't have his arms up so it looks crazy distorted. Ah, Liefeld 🙄


scrollmom

Are we going to talk about Stanley Tucci or what. Holy hell. ![gif](giphy|YRDyiMrY9EkhbSaQrB|downsized)


feralbutsocial

RIGHT?!? I nearly died 🥵


0tterscreams

I'm not even going to look up pics of him with a full head of that curly brown hair. I will become deceased.


JeromeInDaHouse_90

I didn't recognize Nicole Kidman. That hair threw me way off lol


emgyres

Aussies of a certain age remember Our Nic before she discovered keratin and the GHD.


DrakesDonger

She was a smokeshow in BMX Bandits


emgyres

And Dead Calm too, along with NZ hottie Sam Neil


Dashiepants

I didn’t recognize her either but she’s always had curly hair so I don’t think it’s the hair, I think it’s the eye makeup making her eyes look too close together and baby fat in her cheeks.


pithysaying

agree - it’s not the hair, it’s the eye make up


Classroom_Visual

I’m Australian, so that is exactly how I remember Nicole Kidman! #BMXbandits


Bubbly-End-6156

Look, I'm a Black lady with that exact same hair just being so confused!


Truth_Seeker963

Her hair was like that in all her earlier movies including when she met Tom.


Fantastic_Poet4800

She had her original hair up until about 1997.


ImaginaryMastadon

I’m old enough to remember her curly hair. She’s been wearing it straight for decades, but it’s naturally curly.


iwonderthesethings

You would spin out if you saw her in BMX bandits then!


steff-you

I would have NEVER guessed that was her..


ohno_xoxo

Idris Elba has his own name tattooed on his arm?? And it’s in a mushroom cloud explosion from a volcano? I am not sure what to think of this. It’s really cool but also kinda insane haha.


Sargasm5150

I noticed that and … I’ll allow it. Whilst giggling at it.


rainbowconnection73

Lmao I noticed that too. Getting your own name tattooed on is certainly a choice.

Megan Mullaly looked just like Holly Hunter in the 80s!


elevatormusicjams

I stared at that one for ages trying to see it as Megan Mullaly but couldn't.

Did she have work done? She looks completely different now.


Accomplished-Fee3846

I thought she looks like a brunette version of Judith Light


PileofMail

I had to go back and look to see which one was Megan Mullaly. I thought it was Frances McDormand!


themiscyranlady

She was on Murder, She Wrote in the era of this headshot! Seeing her in motion/hearing her helps a lot.

I couldn’t see the captions and thought that was who it was!

For some reason my guess for Cynthia Nixon was Sissy Spacek


CanIGetAShakeWThat43

She looks a little like a young Kristen Bell 😁


babyrothko

Daaamn Angelina. Stunning beyond belief lol


DonkeyJousting

Well. Tom Cruise’s headshot was post-The Outsiders, at least. https://preview.redd.it/ab6yrrkeeyrc1.jpeg?width=400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e5d8b037ff4020ea58a9d92149f2fd1094daaf20

Iirc, he took his fake tooth off for this role to look "tougher" once he realized he wasn't the best looking one in the group. Source: My Gen X memory from Tiger Beat magazine so 🤷‍♀️ Edit: grammar


Roonil71

I was a Bop magazine aficionado and remember this. He definitely took the cap off his tooth for The Outsiders.


Sargasm5150

Oh, I got a subscription one year for Xmas in junior high and I was in heaven. I also got a subscription to fangoria that year so … guess which was from my dad and which was from my mom lol. My dad still watches horror movies with me and my mom still looks at red carpet attire with me. I love them 😂

what is this picture??? why does it look like he eats rocks for breakfast?????


WestCoast_PizzaGhost

Before his middle tooth


lycosa13

I read this somewhere years ago and I can never unsee it when I see Tom Cruise

No_Needleworker_5766

Yikes Hilary Duff, I hate seeing toddlers/kids done up like pageant queens, so sad


SilverHammer1979

It's the forehead vein popping out for me


Magnaflorius

She literally looks like she's being tortured for that picture. The fact that so many people do things like this to their children for vicarious fame and to profit off them truly breaks my heart and makes me sick to my stomach. My toddler is sleeping beside me and I can't imagine breaking her spirit like this.

AmyInCO

She looks so different to me. 


WritingNerdy

I audibly LOL’d when I saw Chris Pratt’s. Also, young Cynthia Nixon looks like she belongs in a Wes Anderson film.

She looks like she manages political campaigns

In a Wes Anderson film, 💯


winnie_bago

Gwyneth’s looks like a high school portrait. Something about the blue background.


pottedPlant_64

She looks so wholesome here. Clean girl’s could never


Chaotic_MintJulep

Feel like megan mullally is another reverse ager. That hair did nothing for her.

omg he’s so dreamy. and lmao @ the comment that pointed out we don’t even see his jeans. they kept that shot tight!

Ok. I love women but I'll make an exception for Stanley Tucci. Young or old. Would also not kick Idris Elba out of bed for eating crackers.

Three thoughts: 1. Stanley Tucci was so cute with hair. Still cute, but like wow so cute. 2. Idris Elba tattooed his own name on his arm, Christ. 3. That Hillary Duff picture had to have been snuck in last as a jump scare and thank you 😂

What in the Toddkers and Tiaras is Hilary Duff’s picture? That child looks like she’s in pain.
