What Happened?! Stars We Thought Would Grow Up Fine But…

We’ve got some bad news. Not all of our childhood crushes lived up to our expectations. Once upon a time, we were young enough to crush on any boy with a pretty smile. But not all of those pretty boys got better with age. So check out our list and be glad that you never married Romeo in middle school like you planned.

TEVIN CAMPBELL

What happened to Tevin Campbell, ya’ll? The years have not been kind to one of our favorite teen idols. I blame stress. He did ruin his career after getting caught soliciting an undercover adult worker. That’ll put some worry lines on your face.



MACAULAY CULKIN
All of Hollywood was excited for little Macaulay to grow up. He was cute as a button, charismatic and a power house of a little actor. But then he grew up. And today, Macaulay looks so…odd, that people are starting to wonder if he has drug problems.



DEON RICHMOND
We should blame Hollywood for letting us fall out of love with Deon. Deon Richmond’s personality was what made us fall in love with Bud — not pretty boy looks. But since that iconic character, Deon has had trouble finding good roles that would let us fall in like again.



MARQUISE WILSON
These two dudes look like they don’t even know each other. If this brother stopped you on the street and told you he was bud from Hanging’ with Mr. Cooper, you’d ask to see ID.



JOEY LAWRENCE
Joey Lawrence held on to his appeal for a while. But can we take a minute to talk about this picture? Am I the only one who’s not a fan of his new image? He needs to leave Ryan Seacrest’s stylist alone or go ahead and chill on the makeup, plastic surgery, or whatever it is that has him looking so…non Joey Lawrence-ish
