Even though scientists insist that modern kids do not, in fact, grow up faster, and adolescence is prolonged from 19 well into the 20s, we still sometimes wonder if people from the younger generation somehow grow up faster than in the past.
We at Bright Side decided to see if it’s true and compared photos of teen celebrities from different generations. Spoiler alert: the results are far from decisive.
Reese Witherspoon and Millie Bobby Brown, 15 years old
Kaley Cuoco and Elle Fanning, 18 years old
Hilary Duff and Maddie Ziegler, 17 years old
Leonardo DiCaprio and Shawn Mendes, 16 years old
Claire Danes and Zendaya, 18 years old
Lindsay Lohan and Sadie Sink, 17 years old
Liv Tyler and Florence Pugh, 18 years old
Zac Efron and Louis Partridge, 17 years old
Winona Ryder and Maisie Williams, 18 years old
Ashley Olsen and Billie Eilish, 18 years old
Which comparison surprised you the most? Would you like to include any other celebrities on this list? Please, share your ideas in the comments!
