Our generation grew up watching some of the best shows and movies to ever be created. From "The Even Stevens," to "The Little Vampire," to "High School Musical," we are blessed to have been able to grow up with these movies and shows, and the actors who starred in them. We've seen these actors grow up and mature, some more than others. What we've also seen these actors do is become extremely attractive, also some more than others. Here is a list of 15 actors who puberty hit with a log, and man I am happy that it did.
1. Zac Efron
He has always been the hunk of my dreams, but puberty has blessed him beyond compare.
Wild.. cats.. in the house...
2. Leonardo DiCaprio
Oh Leo, honey. I'll never let go. Especially since you grew up and became even better looking.
3. Nick Jonas
I had way too many posters of him in my room growing up, and I'm still in love with him now. Dang, Nick. Dang.
4. Shia Labeouf
He went from Zero to 100 real quick... See what I did there? Because he was in "Holes"... Oh the puns. He's gotten a little weird here lately, with the pony tail and all, but he's still good looking. Come on Shia, cut off the braid. Just do it! Get it? You can never run out of Shia puns...
5. Josh Peck
Anyone remember the episode of "Drake And Josh" when he did the weather with his dad and he got so nervous being on live television that he sweated through his shirt? Oh I do. And look at him now, I bet everyone is wishing that he would sweat through his shirt now.
6. Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Thank goodness he got rid of the long hair. I think cutting it off made the world a better place.
7. Eric Lloyd
Man, oh man. My friends and I were in love with him back in "The Santa Clause" days.The scene in "The Santa Clause 2" where he spray-painted the gym totally began the whole "bad-boy" thing in my elementary school. Puberty was so good to this man. Literally so, so good.
8. Daniel Curtis Lee
I was always so jealous of Cookie's glasses on "Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide." I know Google ripped off those glasses from Cookie, I know they did. Something tells me that he doesn't need those glasses to find girls' phone numbers now, if you know what I mean...
9. Jonathan Lipnicki
"The Little Vampire" was one of my favorite Disney Halloween movies back in the day! The cutest kid in history grew up and got the best jawline in history.
10. Taylor Lautner
I've always had a crush on Sharkboy, but even more now that he is a beautiful Werewolf. I'll always be #TeamJacob, always.
11. Robert Pattinson
RIP Cedric Diggory, RIP. We won't speak of one of his other roles, because I mean always Team Jacob, always.
12. Blake McIver Ewing
No one really liked him when he was the spoiled rich kid in "The Little Rascals," but look at him now. Shoot, I would ride in his shiny silver Soap Box Derby car all day long.
13. Daniel Radcliff
Nobody expecto-ed him to become this good looking, but he sure surprised us all. Nice job, Dani boy. Puberty blessed you greatly.
14. Rupert Grint
"Harry Potter" stars all just grew up to be beautiful. Rupert was precious then and now he has that whole Ed Sheeran, hot ginger thing going for him.
15. Matthew Lewis
Can we just take a moment for the mother of all puberty stories. He went from being the weird little kid from "Harry Potter" with the buck-teethe to being the incredibly hot man from "Harry Potter" with the rock hard body. He fell out of the puberty tree and hit every, single branch on the way down. Because of him, we now have a term for stars who start awkward and become attractive, "Neville Longbottom-ing." CAN WE JUST TAKE A MOMENT. PLEASE.
Thank goodness for puberty. If it wasn't a thing, then we would all still be awkward and weird, and the last "Harry Potter" wouldn't have had all of those beautiful humans in it. To all of the gorgeous men, thank you for letting us all grow up with you. I can't imagine my childhood or grown-up life without your lovely faces in it.
