The most AMAZING celebrity transformations
They're barely recognisable
There is nothing we love more than a celebrity transformation. Whether they're completely changing up their hair, having cosmetic surgery or undergoing a whole new look, it's utterly fascinating to see how different people can look just by changing aspects of their appearance.
In the world of celebrities, they obviously have the means and the time to change their appearances almost every week - but the following celebrities have gone through amazing transformations over the years, and many of them now look completely unrecognisable.

A lot of these celebs were mere teenagers when they first rose to fame, and many of them may have changed thanks to a good old-fashioned glow-up - defined as being a period of time during which a young person has grown up, and looks less like an awkward teenager and more like a seriously stunning human.
Quite simply, everyone included here has aged like a fine wine. Although we'll miss Justin Timberlake's *NSYNC curls and frosted tips, he is much more of a hottie these days - especially now that he's a dad! And actor Matthew Lewis may be an absolute dish post-Potter, but the lovable Neville Longbottom will always hold a very special place in our hearts with his knitted jumpers and goofy teeth. N'aww.
