Do you ever have that moment when you convince yourself that if you had a team of stylists, a private chef, a personal trainer, and a fancy wardrobe, you could be just as beautiful as the people you see on screen? No? Just me? Look, I’m not saying this is the healthiest thought process, I’m just saying that sometimes it happens.

While I may cling to the fact that celebrity beauty isn’t just genetics, social media was determined to prove me wrong. Over the weekend, #oldheadshotday was trending on Instagram and Twitter, with many celebs taking part. With some people, it was obvious that they’ve been stunning since day one — AS IF Viola Davis has been anything less than a goddess at any point in her life — while others were proof that even the most beautiful have slightly awkward phases.

Prepare to be charmed.

You see big guy on small couch equals funny. Bemused expression equals— I get it, life is crazy. Book me at your clubs and colleges today. #oldheadshotday pic.twitter.com/ijrOXVGGCu

This headshot is me from back in my early 20's. It's taken a lot of weight gain, but I'm happy to report that I've finally grown into that shirt. #OldHeadshotDay pic.twitter.com/dMd2Vdjxh7

#oldheadshotday When I confused acting with narcissism, thought success would come rushing at my abdominal semi-six-pack, when I still had schlumpy embarrassment in my spine but not enough failure and pain in my life to really embrace it, and mostly, mostly an example of the cruelty and majesty and harsh but welcome instruction of Time. All those poor casting directors…

I REALLY wanted to be a guest star on Law & Order with this headshot but I would’ve settled for Franklin and Bash. #oldheadshotday

I thought this headshot was so funny I demanded it be used. Agents disagreed. It gives off a certain…oh, I don’t know…trade Magic cards for HJs vibe, no? #oldheadshotday
