Ryan Seacrest

If you're like us, you always just assumed that Ryan Seacrest wasn't actually born from a human being, rather he was created in a TV studio using data from decades of audience surveys revealing the most affable on-air personality imaginable. But you'd be wrong. It turns out, he was actually a little chubby kid from the South who now obsessively squeezes workouts into his insanely busy schedule, as well as counts eating "the wrong amount of almonds" as a big splurge, according to Men's Fitness.

The photo on the left was taken in 1993 while Seacrest was working as a DJ at WSTR-FM in Atlanta. On the right, a decade later, Seacrest had just become the host of American Idol, a career move that would skyrocket him to fame, and send Brian Dunkleman into an bottomless pit of regret. But the image changes Seacrest made over that decade are simultaneously obvious yet almost imperceptible. He seemed to lose a little weight, and he ditched the Zack Morris haircut for the piecey, Axe bodyspray-inspired coiffe of the early 00s, but he did keep rocking the t-shirt and blazer look. And yet, there's something more going on there — an unexplainable overall shift from good-looking nice guy next door to celebrity TV host. Weird.
