Spielberg made it a long way from those amateur films with dad’s video camera. He has single-handedly paved the way for young directors by being one of the pioneers of the Hollywood era.
Steven Spielberg’s films have been historical landmarks in cinema, shaping many of the movies we see today. Imagine a childhood without ‘Indiana Jones’, ‘E.T.’, ‘Jurassic Park’, or ‘Jaws’ – it’s simply not possible. This bow-tie wearing teenager changed our lives with his films – and we’re so happy he did.
Mathew McConaughey
McConaughey made his break as a droopy-eyed teen in ‘Dazed and Confused’, and went on to play a leading role in several critically-acclaimed movies like ‘Amistad’ and ‘Contact’.
He’s done countless romantic comedies, until landing more serious roles, in ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’, ‘Mud’ and the brilliant ‘Dallas Buyers’ Club’, where he reminds us of what an incredible talent he has as an actor.
Can you see the vision in his eyes?
Even in his yearbook photo, Spielberg has that all-knowing gaze, as if he were staring into the beyond, looking at something none of us can see. Can you believe that when this photo was taken, young Steven had already filmed several amateur projects using his parent’s video camera and asking friends to play actors.
This picture looks more like a movie star magazine cover and less like a nerdy teenage boy yearbook shot!
Can you recognize this guy?
This is by far one of the most handsome yearbook photos we’ve seen. Want to try and guess who this gorgeous young man is? It’s Tommy Lee Jones! Now that’s what we call a 360 degree change.
Before he played the serious U.S. Marshall in the famous movie ‘The Fugitive’, Tommy Lee Jones was a popular football jock throughout high school. Apparently, he was quite the ladies man, too. And why wouldn’t he be? Look at those eyes and that perfect hair!
Tommy Lee Jones
Jones has become a very popular Hollywood actor and is very talented at playing the ‘detective’ role. Maybe it has to do with his serious facial expression, or maybe that’s just his real-life personality.
Whatever the reason, no one plays the honest cop’ better than him. Just look at him in the ‘Men in Black’ sagas, or ‘No Country for Old Men’.
