We came across a topic in our Gossip Girl forum today that we liked so much we had to put it up here for all to appreciate. Thanks to the reader(s) who posted these!
As you can see, the Gossip Girl stars we've grown to love as Upper East Side high schoolers looked quite a bit different back in their real-life high school days.
Exhibit A:
Penn Badgley has undergone quite the transformation.
We're not done yet. Click to enlarge then-and-now photos from a half-dozen other Gossip Girl stars. See who's changed and who looks pretty much the same ...
Thanks to the readers who sent us links to Kelly Rutherford's and Michelle Trachtenberg's! We're still on the lookout for Ed Westwick, Taylor Momsen, Connor Paolo and Matthew Settle, and we'll add them to this album when we find them!

Penn is obviously the biggest change, but Chace looks a bit different as well. No one else really striked me as that different.
