Celebrity Throwback: 20 Of The Best Then And Now Pics Of Your Favourite Stars

Let’s face it, we love celebrities, even when we try and be cool and say that we’re not into all that showbiz malarky, deep down, there’s bound to be SOMEONE in the celeb world for whom we have a particular affection for.

& more often than not, you will probably find that most people prefer the celebs that they loved as a child or a teenager…and sadly, sometimes our favourite celebs of a by gone era, tend to disappear or shy away from the spotlight as they get older…and us fangirls and boys are left wondering just what happened to our favourite TV or movie star!

What are they doing now? Where did they go? Are they even still alive? What do they look like now? Are they still handsome/beautiful!?

Well, we thought we’d compile a list of well-loved celebs, who you may not have seen in the spotlight for a while…because sometimes it’s fun to see famous people ageing as badly as we are! (Or not, as the case may be!)
