What 15 Movie Stars Looked Like in Their First Roles, at the Peak of Their Careers, and in Recent Movies

We know and love many actors thanks to their iconic roles: Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic, Kristen Stewart in Twilight, Meryl Streep in Kramer vs. Kramer. But aside from their moments of triumph, we like to compare stars in their first roles to their most recent ones.

We at Bright Side got interested in the transformation of our favorite actors and compared their first roles, their best ones, and their most recent films and TV series.
