You can’t beat a celebrity throwback and now, an artist has indulged our guilty pleasure by photoshopping images of A-listers with their younger selves.

Taking to Instagram to share the side-by-side images via the account @photo_time_traveling, Ard Gelinck soon garnered over 22,9000 followers over on the social media platform.

Though it’s hardly surprising, as the photographs depict famous musicians, Hollywood names and politicians hanging out with erm, themselves.

In one of the images, actress Drew Barrymore is snuggling up to her younger self – back in the days of filming ‘E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial’.

Meanwhile, another manipulated photograph shows Brad Pitt having a laugh with his arm around the teenage version of himself.

Intrigued? We’ve rounded up our favourite celebrity throwbacks below:
