What would we do without our favorite celebs that grew up right in front of our eyes? It’s so entertaining to watch them grow up and they teach us that talent comes at any age. That’s right, you don’t necessarily have to go to film school to become an actor, sometimes you’re born with that talent. A thing that doesn’t always come as a birthright is hotness. Some child stars are cute to begin with, others look a bit awkward and nerdy. If there’s one thing that’s fun to watch is when puberty hits them. It’s truly fascinating to see a child star grow up into a stunning, beautiful, gorgeous adult. Today we’re going to take a walk down memory lane and look at some nerdy celebs who became smokin’ hot.

1. Alexa Vega
We all remember little Alexa as the snarky and sarcastic yet adorable brunette Carmen from Spy Kids. Boy did she grow up to be even more beautiful. She’s now a smoking hot lady. She blossomed from a cute little brunette into a gorgeous blonde. Not only that but she’s also married now. Time really flies, doesn’t it? This spy kid is all woman now.

2. Matthew Lewis
I’m pretty sure it would be a crime not to include him in this list. Remember him playing the chubby and awkward Neville Longbottom? Who would’ve thought he could ever shake that image. But Matthew managed to do that and so much more. Now instead of feeling sorry for the kid and wanting to pinch his cheek we all drool over his buff physique and want to pinch his bum.
