All Grown Up and Hot: 12 celebrity transformations that shocked the world (With Pictures)

4. Jake Gyllenhaal

Another A-list actor who went through a transformation we didn’t know of was Jake Gyllenhaal. The 34-year-old was destined to be in the acting business due to his family ties to the industry. Throughout his career, Gyllenhaal has stolen our hearts from all his films. He even grabbed the attention of publications. In 2006, People magazine named him one of the “50 Most Beautiful People” as well as one of the “Hottest Bachelors of 2006.” In addition, he’s been linked to a couple of stars including Kirsten Dunst, Reese Witherspoon, Taylor Swift, and Alyssa Miller. However, he wasn’t always the handsome actor we know today. It’s hard to believe one of Hollywood’s man-candy went through an awkward stage at one point.
