People Share Their Pics For The #10YearChallenge And Some Are Unrecognizable

ADVERTISEMENT

We all like to start the new year with the not-so-humble brag that this year we are going to become the best version of ourselves, so it only made sense that the first internet viral thread of 2019 followed this theme. Unless you have been on a social media cleanse you have seen a #10YearChallenge then and now pictures post. The idea is simple, post side-by-side comparison photos of yourself from both years just to prove how strong your glow-up was.

Call it narcissistic if you want, but there is no denying that for some people out there, like a fine wine, they only got better with time. Some of them found very positive changes in discovering who they are; others went from ugly ducklings to full-on swans. This list shows the best #10YearChallenges from celebrities and regular social media users alike that highlights the most drastic body transformations along with those who haven't seemed to have aged a day. Scroll down below to check out the makeovers and don't forget to upvote your favs!

I'm a Visual Editor at Bored Panda since 2017. I've searched through a multitude of images to create over 2000 diverse posts on a wide range of topics. I love memes, funny, and cute stuff, but I'm also into social issues topics. Despite my background in communication, my heart belongs to visual media, especially photography. When I'm not at my desk, you're likely to find me in the streets with my camera, checking out cool exhibitions, watching a movie at the cinema or just chilling with a coffee in a cozy place

Oh wow I guess I’m even aging wrong. I look 10 yrs older not hotter. Wtf social media has everyone thinking 10 yrs u should be hotter? For the kids, that’s cool, but for grownass people wtf. It’s 10 yrs, life is hard! Sorry I got older and tired not hotter. I spent my time working and on education, not makeup tutorials,’plastic surgery and filters/photoshop lol 🙄

Lol I kinda feel the same even tho I did watch makeup tutorials. I got older looking too but some of these people prove it doesn’t have to be that way. Plus going from child to adult is a useless demonstration in aging. It’s much more interesting to see the difference between 23 and 33.

Why isn't someone allowed to be happy with themselves and how they look? They're not spreading any kind of negativity and you don't have to be happy for them, but let them enjoy their changes, whether that's weight loss or gain, getting fit, correcting their gender, getting through surgeries and such! It's not going to impact your life whatsoever if they're happy with themselves. Live and let live!

How is there too much fitness? You mean they worked out? Lol. Makeup, fitness and plastic surgery is what changes some people over time. It counts more than “I went from being 10 to 20 so I look different now like every adult.”
