They weren't singing....they were just honking.
Glee 2009
Leonardo DiCaprio has gone from a cute young heartthrob to one of the best actors on the planet.
Hilary Swank. I mean, really. Watch her in The Next Karate Kid and try saying "future two time Oscar winner" to yourself without laughing.
Tom Hanks is still not one of my favorite actors, but I can certainly recognize he has much more range and gravitas than the guy who was in Splash and Joe vs. the Volcano. He was kind of a quirky, gawky guy in comedies and light romances, and now he's a serious heavy hitter.

Michelle Pfeiffer. Not that great in Ladyhawke. Now, I only hope I look that good when I'm over 40. Her face has become defined in a very becoming way as she's aged.
Tim Robbins, he was a supporting actors in many of those 80s movies I watched. He did not show any glimmer of talent until I saw him in Tapeheads, then in short order he put up some good performances in Bull Durham, Jacob's Ladder, Bob Roberts, The Player and then in 1994 was awesome in The Hudsucker Proxy & Shawshank Redemption. He had a great 10 year run or so.
Johnny Depp goes without saying I think. His early fluff gave us no clue how good he would be.
I have to really agree on Michelle Pfeiffer. She looked better in her 30s then 20s and really improved a lot as an actor.
I thought she looked terrible in Scarface and Hollywood Knights. By The Witches of Eastwick she looked beautiful.
Keanu Reeves. With age has come a certain gravit...ha ha, just kidding.
It seems like Robert Downey jr. was always praised for his acting, but I think he's improved greatly over the years.
I read a review that said it seemed like Johnny Depp spent the '90s doing self-inflicted penance for having been a pretty-boy TV star on 21 Jump Street. Although many of the films he did then were flops (financially, if not critically), they were ambitious works that definitely built up his skillset and established him as someone who wanted to be great at acting rather than just popular and rich.
Also, Jason Bateman certainly showed a lot of improved between being the poor man's Michael J. Fox in his teen years and starring in Arrested Development as an adult.

Frank Sinatra. I never understood how he managed to be a sex symbol when he was still such a skinny, geeky looking teen. But he aged very well.
Well, his mugshot was pretty hot.
I'm still swimming in harmony. I'm still dreaming of flight. I'm still lost in the waves night after night...

See........maybe it's a guy vs girl thing, but to me, in those pictures he looks like the kid on the back of the comic book who gets sand kicked in his face.
