Musicians work tirelessly to maintain a studied public image, whether it's that of a dissolute junkie street urchin, lairy man on of the people, or groupie-defiling rock monster. So it's always amusing when the veneer of rock star cool evaporates and you discover that these untouchable golden gods were once awkward little oiks, same as the rest of us...
Jimmy Page
He grew up to be an dabbler in the occult and even purchased a house once belonging to Aleister "Wickedest Man In The World" Crowley. But back in 1957 little Jimmy's only ambition was to "do biological research." Cute.
Amy Winehouse
To think: she was once a fresh-faced teenager with flowers in her hair, reciting lines from A Midsummer Night's Dream. Then look what happened.
Pete Doherty
He wasn't born a drug-blasted tabloid rogue, you know. In 1997, Peter Doherty was the well-scrubbed 17-year-old son of an Army Major, queuing to buy a copy of Oasis' Be Here Now on the day it came out, and spouting pretentious guff about Umberto Eco.
Noel and Liam Gallagher
This slighty stalkerish fan-made slide show proves that the famous Gallagher eyebrows were present pretty much from birth. Presumably the arrogance and cocaine abuse came later.
Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake
Before they became pop royalty, the fellow Mickey Mouse Club "Mouseketeers" played crazy golf with morons. In retrospect, a glittering career high point for both of them.
