Natalie Portman still looks amazing! I always confuse her and Keira Knightley
What 19 of the Most Loved Celebrities From the Late ’90s Look Like Today

Oh, the memories! Remember those happy days when we were just starting to go out to parties and we used to dance to Ricky Martin’s Livin’ La Vida Loca. We also admired and copied the style of our favorite actresses or singers like Jennifer Lopez, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and Britney Spears. And what about the posters of Brad Pitt or Brendan Fraser that we hung on the walls of our bedroom? All that was part of the ’90s, times when these young artists were just starting their careers or already had great worldwide fame. And today they have changed a lot—to such an extent that they are even unrecognizable.
At Bright Side, we love to relive the past and remember what some of our favorite artists looked like in other decades. That’s why today we decided to put together a “before and after” list with 19 celebrities, taking the year 1999 as a reference and a more recent date to make the comparison. Let’s take a look at them.
1. Ricky Martin
2. Drew Barrymore
3. Jennifer Lopez
4. Ryan Reynolds
5. Brendan Fraser
6. Eve
