Snakkle looks back on celebs who shared locker rooms or swapped saliva or (allegedly) joints together. Click through this “Before They Were Stars” photo gallery to see unlikely classmates and recognizable BFFs.

Time to put on that lip ring and dust off that copy of Donnie Darko while you fire up some punk metal! Before these celebs were famous—and glamour-pusses on the red carpet— they had donned goth clothes, punky hair, and some seriously alternative looks. Now excuse us while we put on The Cure and curl up into the fetal position.

When Forbes magazine recently released their list of Hollywood’s Top-Paid Actresses for 2012, everyone was buzzing on who made the list and who didn’t even come close. While the following actresses in our gallery landed the coveted Top 10 spots, out of all of the big (and small) screen actresses out there, you may be surprised which newbie film star landed on the list and is ahead in earnings than a more established and well-known and beloved actress. But, these ladies all have one thing in common: before the fame, they all started somewhere, and often it was a high school drama club or early modeling gigs or taking on much smaller roles to pay the bills. Snakkle dug up pics of these top earners during their more humble beginnings.

You may recognize these celebs from the red carpet, but they started out on the small screen way back in the day! Snakkle looks back at A-list stars’ early TV roles!

Doesn’t it sometimes seem like celebrities all know each other? Well, that’s probably because most of them do. Off the top of your head, you can probably name any number of famous Hollywood families—the Gyllenhaals, Baldwins, Arquettes, Robertses—but the connections aren’t always so obvious. Can you guess, for example, who Mirror Mirror star Lily Collins’ famous parent is?

If there’s anything Hollywood hates more than rain, it’s aging. Wrinkles and a sagging anything are more terrifying than long-term unemployment, so it’s no wonder celebs young and old are always trying to keep the march of time off their faces. They’ll tell you the secret to the fountain of youth is the right makeup artist, some subtle plastic surgery, and a great personal trainer, and then it doesn’t matter how many candles are igniting that birthday cake. Snakkle is seeing a whole lot of mature faces looking way better than they did in their youth, so we honor the celebs defying their digits with some stellar DNA… (wink!)

Before she was named “Sexiest Woman of All Time” by pretty much everyone, Jennifer Aniston was a just like us. She had her awkward teenage years, with appearances on forgettable television series, a role in a low-budget horror film… Just like your life, right? Aniston grew up to be a successful and beautiful superstar, but everybody has a past, and sometimes there are photos. Let’s take a journey back to the sexy lady’s days of ’80s boy hair, mom jeans, and heavy makeup.

Whether these couples remain together or are a thing of the past, we’ll always remember their strange love (and all the tabloid stories that went with it). Check out these vintage pics of weird celebrity couples!
