Some people become really famous, and then we forget all about them when they were younger. People change, perceptions change – but photos don’t. Check out these amazing photos of world figures.

Pictured above is Bill Clinton, hanging out with his girlfriend, Hillary (yep) at Yale. I’m also pretty sure that he had some awesome nickname, something along the lines of “The Dude.”

The above picture shows a 23 year-old Stephen Hawking, at his wedding day. The picture was taken in 1965, just after his diagnosis, but before he had a need for a wheelchair. He still required a cane though.

Sticking with science, check out Albert Einstein, easily the coolest quantum cat. Just chilling in the sun, goofy hat, smoking something… Beautiful.

Martin Luther King, Jnr was quite the hustler, shown here kicking back in a pool hall. According to history, a lot of the relationships he formed with gangs was done over a pool game. Which he dominated. Like a boss.

This picture proves that nothing can take away the scariness of an evil dictator. Even putting Adolf Hitler on a snowsleigh, he still remains the scariest motherfucker I’ve seen. His eyes… surveying his kingdom.

And here is his buddy, Joseph Stalin. Or should that be Broseph Stalin. Look at this dude. He looks like he would just walk into the club and choose any lady he wants. When he picks your girl, he’d just look at you and you’d skulk away slowly while he pours vodka down her throat.

Here is Kurt Cobain – this picture proves that no matter how depressed you are about life, it’s impossible to not have a smile on your face when you’re smashing a pepperoni pizza into your face. Impossible.

Lastly, here he is. The angriest white boy in rap today. Eminem – you can see he had a very rough time growing up, forced to eat birthday cake and wear pink Alf shirts. I think I would have turned out exactly the same under the circumstances.
