But no matter how big the trouble, Mariah Carey still made it ‘Glitter’ and achieved her dream of becoming a music diva of the ages.
With over 200 million records sold, Carey is one of the best selling musicians of all time. She’s won 5 Grammy Awards and 14 Billboard Music Awards. Time to comb that hair for the red carpet girl!
Joe Manganiello
This truly is a story of an ugly duckling turning into a prince. Nowadays, Manganiello is an award-winning actor, writer and director, and if that weren’t enough, he’s married to one of the sexiest, most beautiful women alive - Sofia Vergara.
He made it to the big leagues with Hollywood blockbusters like ‘Magic Mike’, ‘True Blood’ and ‘Justice League’.
Once a Diva, always a diva
Not a hard guess, even with the frizzy, oversized hairdue. In fact, the hair may be the giveaway. The young Mariah Carey was already a diva in her teenage years, styling that big, awesome smile and carefree spirit everywhere she went.
And this is precisely one of the things we love about her, because her childhood was anything but easy. Mariah suffered a lot of racial discrimination throughout her life, due to the fact that she came from an interracial couple.
Yippee ki yay, it’s…
One of our favorite yearbook pictures yet, it almost looks as if it’s photoshopped. Is it really possible that this weird looking, mushroom haircut, tie-wearing teenager is Die Hard’s Bruce Willis? The answer is yes.
And as if he didn’t look awkward enough, Willis had a really bad stutter when he was young, and, oddly enough, it only went away when he read his acting lines on stage.
Bruce Willis
Needless to say, acting became like therapy for Willis and so he dedicated his life to it. Today, he has appeared in over 60 films with some of the greatest actors and directors in the world. After the world-famous ‘Die-Hard’ saga, he went on to act in ‘Armageddon’, ‘Pulp Fiction’, ‘The Sixth Sense’ and countless others.
This German-born actor has become an action film icon that has no resemblance to the young, insecure teen in the photo. Again, anything is possible if you follow your dreams! (and get a haircut)
