Celebrity transformations can happen suddenly or they happen more gradually.
Sometimes they are a major glow up, and other times they are more of a … well, not a glow
up.
The changes can sometimes be shocking so let’s take a look at the top 10 transformations
in the last decade.
I’m your host joce, welcome back to top 10 beyond the screen.
Come say hi to us outside of youtube, you can find our instagram links down below.
And get through this list with me so you don’t miss the bloopers and comment features at
the end.
But for now, let’s get into our transformation lookbook.
10) Starting off the list at number 10 is Calvin Harris.
The 35 year old DJ is a stud none the less and has been flaunting his now-famous muscles.
But he didn’t always look like he does now.
He was once a young musician with a questionable taste in clothing and box dyed hair.
But throughout the last decade he’s had a major transformation which he says comes
from being bullied when he was younger.
Turns out he was bullied for his height; he is currently 6 foot 5 and says that as a kid
he was always the tallest person in the class.
During an interview with The Sun, he said: it was hard being the tallest person in the
class.
Especially when you are a teenager.
You want to keep your head down.
You don’t want people to look at you.
It’s only in the last 5 years that I have come to terms with the fact that I am a big
tall bastard.
Obviously, his height hasn’t changed, but his attitude has, and his more recent appearance.
His wardrobe has upgraded, he’s rocking the scruffy face, clean cut and coloured hair,
not to mention his rockin bod.
He’s been hittin the gym and it shows.
9) At number 9 is Tom Hardy.
This guy knows a thing or two when it comes to body transformations.
He caked on pounds of muscle to play the Bane in The Dark Knight Rises and and his Bane
body has stuck with him since.
He transformed himself entirely into one of the most physical and dominating villains
of all time, adding over 30 pounds of muscle to his frame.
And although he looks incredible he’s the first person to admit that the transformation
wasn’t easy.
During an interview with The Daily Beast he said: I think you pay the price with any drastic
physical changes.
If I keep putting on weight i’ll collapse like a house of cards under too much pressure.
Probably true.
His overall appearance changed with the role though, he got rid of all his facial hair
which drastically changes a guys appearance, don’t even lie.
And he also rocked a bald head which we weren’t used to seeing on the actor.
Regardless, he still looked like a babe.
8) Swiping the number 8 spot is Ariana Grande.
Gotta be honest with you guys, looking back at old pictures of her, I would have never
known it was girl unless you told me.
Before she was the pop sensation that we know her as today, she was staring as Cat Valentine
on the Nickelodeon TV series: Victorious.
And boyyyy did she look different.
On the show she was rocking some bright red hair which is enough to make her look completely
different.
But pictures have surfaced online when she was 16 years old and first auditioned for
the show.
She was rocking some eyeliner and her natural short brown hair.
They dyed her hair for the show within the first 2 weeks because the producers didn’t
want the entire cast to be brunette.
But even since her red hair days she looks wildly different.
Her lips are noticeably bigger, her hair is incredibly longer, and she is WAY more bronzed
than ever before.
People have actually accused the singer of blackfacing.
After her Vogue cover was released earlier this year, people online said it looked like
she was trying to represent a black woman.
One twitter user wrote: ya’ll rememeber when Ariana Grande wasn’t performing blackface
on the daily?
I mean her appearance does look completely different than before but I feel like accusing
her of blackface is just a little too far.
I don’t know if those are her intentions, what do you guys think?
Is this a case of blackface?
Tell me in the comments.
7) Coming into the number 7 spot is Jonah Hill.
My brotha had a glow up!
I’m not being rude when I say that when he first came into the Hollywood spotlight
he was a bigger guy.
And because of his size he was booking comedic roles that would fit with both his size and
personality.
You know, the fat friend.
But he shocked everyone with his transformation in more recent years.
Pictures started to surface online of him walking down the street and no one around
was even recognizing him.
I don’t blame them though, honestly, if he walked by me looking how he does now, I
wouldn’t even look twice.
Like it wouldn’t clue in that its Jonah Hill ya know?
The biggest transformation has been his weight.
He first slimmed down for his role in 22 Jump Street back in 2014, but then gained 40 pounds
back for his 2016 role in War Dogs.
His weight has fluctuated throughout the years but he currently looks healthier than ever.
But on top of the difference in his weight, he is also rocking some new glasses, a big
bushy beard, and some arm tattoos.
Can’t say I ever pictured Jonah Hill with arm tattoos.
6) Cruising into spot number 6 is Taylor Swift.
She’s actually one of the few celebrities in Hollywood to not go under the knife and
completely change her look with plastic surgery.
But she has grown up in front of the entire world and she’s no longer looks like the
16 year old country singer that we were first introduced to.
When we first met her she was rocking country boots, blonde ringlets, an acoustic guitar,
and all of her songs fell under the country category.
But over the last decade her music and looks both transformed into the pop mainstream.
After her album release in 2012 she started to make her official transition into pop but
it still featured some country sound to it.
But her next album 1989 was fully pop and shot up to the top of the Billboard Hot 100
Chart, so we no longer saw her taking home any country awards.
Nowadays she’s chopped her hair short, the ringlets are gone, her style is edgy, and
her lyrics are controversial.
Which I am all for.
I like her transformation.
It’s kind of cool to see her start out as a country artist and then completely change
into the pop world.
5) Half way through the list at number 5 is James McAvoy.
He’s been in the industry for some time now but he grabbed everyone’s attention
when he took on the lead role in the movie Split.
In the movie we saw a bald, thick, jacked, badass looking dude who could climb up walls
like a spider monkey.
But if you look back on older pictures you would have a harder time recognizing him.
He used to be a thin guy with a full head of hair, who dressed like he was Mr. Rogers.
No offence man.
But in order for him to take on the role of a real monster, he had to put on some weight
and change his overall look.
During an interview he shared his transformation process and said that when he was bulking
up for Split he was on an extremely tight schedule.
He only had a short period of time and said that he did powerlifting and 5 days a week
and ate a lottt of protein.
Instead of eating 2 eggs in the morning, he said he would eat 8.
The transformation has stuck with him because after Split was done and over with, he was
prepping for the sequel, Glass, where he was going head to head with Bruce Willis and needed
to bulk up even more.
It’s a really impressive transformation, I think I just assumed that this is what he’s
always looked like, because his frame is just so much bigger now, but still looks natural.
4) Here we are at number 4 with the one and only Kim Kardashian.
Before she became a household name, back in 2006 she was known for being the best friend
of the It Girl at the time, Paris Hilton.
And let me tell you, she looked a lot different back then compared to now.
After her sex tape was released in 2007 she started to rise to fame and that was the when
her transformation slowly started to happen.
First it was her lips, then her breasts, then the rest of her face, then the body, then
the booty, basically her entire appearance has changed.
And thankfully her style because girlllll some of those old red carpet looks were a
hot mess, minus the hot.
She even dabbled in some hair dye at one point and went to a honey blonde colour Overall
she’s rocking a completely new face and body, although she likes to insist that a
lot of it is real but, the proof is in the pudding.
She looks nothing like she used to when she was her actual natural self.
3) Okay guys, in the third spot we have Josh Peck, but you would better know him just as
Josh, from the hit TV series: Drake and Josh.
He took the lead role on the show from 2004-2007 and people fell in love with his goofy character.
He was 17 years old when he played the title character and he looked a lot different with
his curly brown hair, plaid shirts, and chubby frame.
None of the less, he was a cutie.
But along the way his looks started to drastically change.
For one, he grew up, which probably had something to do with it.
But his style started to change and so did his hair; at one point he even grew his hair
out and straightened it.
lookin like Greenday or some shit.
But after that phase was over, he cut his hair, grew a beard, and got fit.
He’s no longer the chubby teen, or the Greenday wannabe, he’s now a 33 year old DILF.
Yes that’s right, he’s a hot dad with a son named Max, and yes, he’s married.
So I should probably stop hitting on him.
2) Filling in our number 2 spot is Amanda Bynes.
She was one of Hollywood’s biggest stars and between The Amanda Show, She’s The Man,
and What A Girl Wants, nobody did it better than her.
Her career officially started back in 1998 and she quickly became a huge child star,
being the youngest cast member on the show: All That.
From there she became a Nickelodeon starlett and then began her own career when she did
her debut feature film in 2003: What a Girl Wants.
She was always a beautiful girl, not to mention her hilarious personality and incredible talent.
At first, she just had minor changes throughout the years, different hair colours, style changes,
minor lip fillers.
But in 2012 trouble hit when she was arrested several times for driving under the influence.
That seems to be when her transformation really began.
She wore crazy wigs, got piercings in her cheeks, got some tattoos.
Now, she has openly talked about her struggle with drugs and depression, so her transformation
makes more sense when you know the background story of what she was going through during
that time.
She is currently rocking both pink and blue hair and a septum nose piercing, according
to her new instagram page.
1) Taking the number 1 spot is Caitlyn Jenner.
Now before I get started, this is in no way to bash her transformation or poke fun at
it; it was the biggest transformation of the decade and one that I personally am in full
support of.
Back in April 2015, Bruce Jenner officially came out as a trans woman and publicly announced
in July that her name was going to legally be changed to Caitlyn.
The overall transformation from Bruce to Caitlyn was such a big deal because the world knew
Bruce as a strong male athlete who competed in the olympics.
So of course, the drastic change was shocking to a lot of people.
Not to mention people were so used to seeing him as Bruce on the reality show keeping up
with the kardashians, where he was the father of the kardashian and jenner girls, as well
as Kris Jenners husband.
But the transformation also had a very positive impact on the LGBTQ community.
Bruce was 65 years old when he came out with his transition and he did it in front of the
entire world which has encouraged others to feel comfortable with their own transitions
and personal timelines.
