Sometimes fame makes it hard to imagine our stars living as regular people before they were famous. But even our greatest living legends were once worthless nobodies just like you and me. Which means they dated other worthless nobodies. And we have proof. Here are 22 old-school pics of huge stars back when they were just normies dating normies...
Leonardo DiCaprio
Twitter user @lenaalawtattoo shared this awesome picture of a baby-faced Leonardo DiCaprio, who once dated her aunt. DiCaprio already had a few solid movies under his belt at this point, but he was hardly the big-name hearthrob he became soon after.
Ariana Grande
Josh Venkat sort-of dated Ariana Grande back before she got her big break. According to Venkat, the two were in a theater production together as teenagers.
Matt LeBlanc
How you doin'? Twitter user @RimKoumaira's mother once dated Matt LeBlanc, who in this photo looks just young enough to be barely pre-"Friends" and the role that changed his life.
Beyoncé Knowles
Twitter user @BarzdaLyricist claims that his uncle Lyndall once dated Beyoncé. Presumably this experience was exactly like the episode of Disney's "Smart Guy" that Beyoncé appeared on in the '90s.
Jamie Foxx
Mikaela Kistner has photographic proof that her aunt used to date Jamie Foxx. Apparently, Kistner and her sibligs called him "Uncle Jamie".
Matthew McConaughey
Twitter user @peytonntheisen's cousin dated Matthew McConaughey while at college. Here's once celebrity who got better with age!
Adam Sandler
Adam Sandler took Twitter user @BPearsonn's mom to prom. There are several accounts of Sandler doing his best to stay in contact with old friends after making it big - he even sent a card to an old girlfriend's mother when she retired.
Bradley Cooper
Katie Hagerty's aunt knew Bradley Cooper when they were in college together. There's no indication that they dated, but considering Cooper's mullet, that's not a surprise.
Woody Harrelson
Twitter user @joaniemarie123's mom once dated Woody Harrelson. It's weird how he looks so much like a used car salesman in this era of his life.
John Travolta
Redditor Trillionn's mom was apparently childhood friends with John Travolta. This phot shows Trillionn's grandmother visiting Travolta at a theater show that he was a part of.
Tupac
Twitter user @joaniemarie123's aunt used to be intimate with Tupac, making for this awesome photo.
Usher
It blew Twitter user @camrynmariaa's mind when her sister told her that, back in high school, she used to date Usher. This picture is just the cutest thing.
Jimmy Fallon
D'aww, look at the baby Jimmy Fallon! This photo comes courtesy of @maddyahouse1, as her aunt is draped across the future talk show host.
Aston Kutcher
Molly Peterson's mom dated Ashton Kutcher once upon a time, which led to the creation of this absolutely adorable photo.
Kanye West
Twitter user @ChloeeMaietta4's mom used to date Kanye West. The famous rapper looks as grumpy as ever in this old photo.
Macho Man Randy Savage
Redditor eLetoR has shared this photo of himself wrestling with Randy Savage. Apparently the Macho Man himself used to date eLetoR's sister back in the '90s. The worst part about this is that when the kid told his friends at school, there's no way anybody would have believed him.
Mike Tyson
Jordyn Cooper's mom used to date Mike Tyson, and she's now shared this very cool photo with the world.
Tisha Campbell-Martin
Twitter user @kissskhaai's dad used to date Tisha Campbell-Martin. Things clearly didn't work out too well.
John Legend
Twitter user @heyitsjaii__ had quite a surprise when her mom told her that she used to date John Legend.
Josh Hartnett
Twitter user @AlTschida2#s mom dated Josh Hartnett in high school. It's a good thing Harnett eventually learned how to pose for a photo without looking like a complete dweeb.
The Black Dahlia
Here's a darker one: Redditor forum4um has shared a picture of his grandfather with Elizabeth Short, better known as murder victim The Black Dahlia. Apparently forum4um's grandfather was a suspect in the investigation for a while.
Henry "The Fonz" Winkler
Nobody likes having to live up to their partner's ex-partners, but Redditor UberStone must have it particularly rough. His wife previously dated Henry Winkler, better known as The Fonz from "Happy Days." Once upon a time, this guy was the coolest man on Earth, so presumably UberStone must have a pretty robust self-esteem.
