Now and Then, 1995
My new favorite tumblr is called Kid Casting, and take it from me, seer of truths, it will be huge. It will leave a lasting legacy.
Kid Casting is brought to you by Dave Shumka of the fantastic Canadian podcast Stop Podcasting Yourself and fantastic Canadian Twitter @daveshumka.
And I love shit like this. As a kid, I treasured my copy of SPY Magazine’s “Separated at Birth?” which was just a compendium of celebrities who look like each other. Yes, you can choke on your Didion and DeLillo. All my most prized books were meant to be consumed on the toilet.
Anyhow, Kid Casting. I submitted the Now and Then poster because it’s ready-made for this. If you can think of any good adult/kid celebrity pairings (that is, adult celebrities and the kids who played kid versions of them), submit them and bask in the recognition of your peers.
