Incredible Pictures of Old Celebrities and Their Younger Selves

Slash

Before Slash was exclusively known as Slash, his name was Saul Steinberg. He grew up in London and played guitar since he was a child. He eventually managed to play his way all across the pond and settled in Los Angeles with his band Road Crew. In a very short period of time, Slash joined Guns N' Roses. He led the music industry for nearly 20 years, and when Guns N' Roses broke up, he started his solo project, which he still performs. 

Ed Harris

Young media consumers would most likely recognize Ed Harris for his role in Westworld. But, before the show, Harris had a long career in television through the 70s and was involved in stage plays as well. When Harris got cast in The Right Stuff, his career began to explode outward. He was in The Truman Show, Apollo 13, and many more incredible films.
