Classic Photos of Celebrities from Their College Days
Sometimes, you watch a movie or a TV show and fall in love with an actor you've never seen before. And they become “the guy from that movie” or “the girl from that show.” But they probably had an entire career before you saw them for the first time. And entire lives that included going to school, prom, and even a college degree, if they had the chance and support to pursue it.
The same happens with pretty much every public figure you find while scrolling on social media, but it would be rude if they reminded you every time you see them, right? Other celebrities went to college once they were famous, probably because they didn't get a chance to do it earlier, but we don't care about them today.
So, here are some photos of celebrities from their college days, with some looking young, others looking nerdy, but most of them looking exactly like you expect them to.
