All of us born before 2000. saw them young at least once. Ok maybe just us born in '80s and before, but come on there are a lot of us still.
15 Legendary Actors Only a Few People Have Seen Young

Hollywood is full of stories about geniuses who started their acting careers in their early childhood and who’ve turned into award-winning professionals by the time they were teenagers. However, there are others who’ve managed to gain fame and play their most important leading role exclusively in adulthood. That’s why many people get the impression that these actors have always been mature adults.
Bright Side has scoured the internet and found 15 actors who are recognizable by everyone at their current age, however, the way they looked in their youth is a mystery to many.
Leslie Nielsen, (1926–2010)
Fiona Shaw, age 60
Christopher Walken, age 76
Louis de Funès (1914–1983)
Shirley MacLaine, age 85
Steve Martin, age 73
Glenn Close, age 72
Lin Shaye, age 75
Stephen Fry, age 61
Sigourney Weaver, age 69
Kathy Bates, age 70

The only 2 actors here I hadn’t seen very young are Helen Mirren (wow, she looked so very different when she was young) and David Bradley (don’t think I’d seen him before Harry Potter)
I don’t know Luis dr Funes or Lin Shaye. But everyone else, I know and have seen them in roles when they were young.
