Pictures are like treasure troves of the past and can reveal a side of celebs that very few people have seen before. And if there’s one thing celebs know is that avoiding photographers is pointless. To that end, we present you with a rare collection of snaps that might make you gasp.
Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein may have developed the theory of relativity, but in this 1939 pic, he proved that a scientist is never too busy to let his grownup stepdaughter, Margot sit on his lap.
The Spice Girls

This photo was taken in November 2000 at the launch of The Spice Girls’ album. Have you ever seen a group of fiercer ladies? Didn’t think so! And check out Victoria Beckham staring at the camera like she’s commanding us to buy her album…or else!
Britney Spears

It’s a freaking Britney sandwich and she’s absolutely elated standing beside her (then) boyfriend Justin Timberlake and Ryan Gosling, who had allegedly been crushing on her for years. We wouldn’t mind switching places with Brit!
Michael Jackson and Brooke Shields

The late king of pop was living it up when he was heading to the American Music Awards in 1987. Not only did he look mega cool wearing shades at night, but he also got to share a limo with the gorgeous Brooke Shields.
Amy Winehouse

This photo of the late singer Amy Winehouse was taken in Paris in 1998. It’s weird seeing her without her signature beehive hair, heavy winged eyeliner, and thigh-skimming dress. But she still looked gorgeous!
Madonna and Tupac

Madonna and Tupac were looking awfully cozy at the Interview Magazine party in 1994. Maybe the lady in front of them was asking if they were dating. They certainly did make a cute couple in this pic.
Eva Mendes and Alyssa Milano

This throwback photo showed 15-year-old (future actress) Eva Mendes fangirling a 17-year-old Alyssa Milano for an autograph at the Glendale mall. Now teenagers are probably running up to Eva and asking her for an autograph, too!
Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston, Sting and Trudie Styler

Jennifer Aniston was snapped goofing off with her (then) hubby Brad Pitt and two popular friends, Sting and Trudie Styler in New York in 1999. But what on Earth are those dots on their foreheads? We have no idea. But we can’t help but stare at Brad who seems to be having a blast.
Arnold Schwarzenegger

Long before he took on Sarah Connor, the T-1000, and the TX, the future Terminator star was busy wrestling with an adorable lion in 1977. What can we say about the former governator? He’s fearless.
Prince Harry and The Spice Girls
![](https://chippeo.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Untitled-6-1024x713.jpg)
Prince Harry may be all grownup and married, but back in 1997, the young monarch was living every teenage boy’s dream by posing with the Spice Girls before a concert in Johannesburg.
Nicki Minaj

The Trinidadian-American rapper may be a fashion chameleon who pulls off wild and outrageous outfits. But this was Nicki back when she was in high school, and she looked like your typical girl next door. Still pretty though!
Jay-Z and Aaliyah
![](https://chippeo.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Untitled-7-690x1024.jpg)
Beyonce may be Jay Z’s one and only “Bey” but in 2000, he was snapped holding the late singer Aaliyah at a Tommy Hilfiger’s party at Bar North in LA. Sorry, Beyonce, but these two did look cute together.
