Geek to hot?
 
What are some examples of celebrities who have gone from Geek to Hot? (and well, Hot is always subjective :lol:). Here's my entry:

Christopher Mintz-Plasse

people seem to make a big deal about this kid from the harry potter films:

my personal entry however is mae whitman:

but essentially this thread is just going to be people who played dressed down/geeky roles earlier in their career and just grew out of their awkward phase.

First time I saw Anthony Michael Hall in the Dead Zone, I couldn't believe it.

I met Anthony Michael Hall at an autograph show last year. I'm 6'2", and he stood taller than me, deep voice, broad shoulders, etc. I realize it's been 20 years since he shed his initial geek image, but still it's a shock to the system to see him.


I'll add Alyson Hannigan.

I'm pretty sure GatorDeb's second picture is of Dave Franco.

Here's a current-ish Christopher Mintz-Plasse:

I'm pretty sure that's Dermot Mulroney and Dylan McDermott.

So basically, we're talking about teen actors who became adults?

No, Blossom wouldn't make this particular list; at least not at this point.

How can you not see that those are 2 very different actors in the OP????? Maybe you need to see them at the bank to tell the difference.

True, that's pretty much what most of these will end up being.

Or we could just rename the thread "Holy crap, I'll never look at Fly Away Home the same way again!"

Yeah, no. That's the difference between being 12 and an fully grown woman, a.k.a. puberty. :lol:
