10 celebrities who grew out of their awkward phase and became ridiculously attractive.

Puberty doesn’t always have to be your enemy.

It’s been a well-known fact for a while now that Neville Longbottom, aka Harry Potter actor Matthew Lewis, grew up and got insanely attractive. He grew into his teeth, he got a great hair cut and he ditched his awkward Neville personality.

In case you’ve forgotten, this was his transformation:

Neville as a HP dweeb on the left. Neville now. Swoooon.

With that, he started a movement known as “Neville Longbottoming” – it’s where former non-heart-throbs turn into very attractive people with some time or puberty or maybe some dental work.

And there are a lot of them. Here are 10 celebrities who have Nevilled Longbottomed. Hard.

1. Calvin Harris.

The DJ/new boyfriend of Taylor Swift was once an awkward Scottish dude with black hair. He decided to turn it blonde, get a tan and moonlight as an underwear model.

Check it out.

2. Zac Efron.

Pre-High School Musical, Zac Efron was a gap-tooth pre-pubescent boy with a side fringe. Now, well… he’s Zac Efron. ‘Nuff said.

3. Johnathan Lipnicki.

He was Stuart Little. He’s now Stuart the massive babe. Okay, not my best work there…

4. Josh Peck.

Josh got famous for being one half of Drake and Josh on the Nickelodeon show. He now looks very different.

5. Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Is a babe now. Was less of a babe before.

6. Jonah Hill

From his Superbad days to the Wolf of Wall Street, Jonah Hill has had a huge transformation.

7. Chris Pratt.

The man who once encompassed everything about the ‘Dad bod’ now gives new meaning to the word ‘abs’.

8. Nick Jonas.

He was a Disney star who sang with his brothers and wore a promise ring. Now he sings about being a possessive boyfriend and has hair on his chest. I’m not even ashamed to say it: Nick Jonas Neville Longbottomed so hard.

9. Johnathan Taylor-Thomas.

You know him from Home Improvement, and we doubt you’ve ever forgotten his ridiculously cute face. He’s now 33 and is still cute. Just, more appropriately so.

10. Justin Timberlake.

From his frosted tips that resembled two-minute noodles to now.

Can you think of any more to add to this list?
