We all loved watching Disney and Nickelodeon as a child and some of us even love watching it now, but one thing we often forget is that we grew up with them. The same way we are in our adult lives now, they are also in their adult lives.

This makes it quite surprising when we see those celebrities we watched every day look like they're complete adults when we can only really picture them in the shows we've seen them in. This really does make it fun to see their glow up though.

"Then vs Now" photos are some of the most popular when it comes to celebrities because it's always fun looking at how the celebrities looked at their age versus how they are looking now. This is especially fun because some of these celebrities haven't even been seen since we watched them on Disney and Nickelodeon.

We've compiled some of our favorite childhood actors that we probably haven't seen in a while and we are going to take a look into what they looked like then, versus what they're looking like now. If you're ready to see these surprising differences, then let's dive on into it.

1. Paul Butcher as Dustin Brooks on Zoey 101.

This was definitely a glow-up. He's so young in the first photo.

2. Erin Sanders as Quinn Pensky from Zoey 101.

She looks almost completely different.

3. Matt Bennett as Robbie Shapiro from Victorious.

The hair is still thriving.

4. Josh Peck as Josh Nichols from Drake & Josh.

We love him, but where's Drake too?

5. Nathan Kress as Freddie Benson from iCarly.

Okay Freddie, I see you.

6. Skai Jackson as Zuri Ross on Jessie.

She's literally so pretty.

7. Peyton Elizabeth Lee as Andi Mack from Andi Mack.

8. Melise as Geena Fabiano from Unfabulous.

9. Jordan Calloway as Zack Carter-Schwartz from Unfabulous.

We knew he'd be cute.

10. Karan Brar as Ravi Ross from Jessie.

11. Alexandra Shipp as KT Rush from House of Anubis.

12. Moisés Arias as Rico Suave from Hannah Montana

Still that same face.

16. Brandon Mychal Smith as Nico Harris from Sonny with a Chance.

17. Rowan Blanchard as Riley Matthews from Girl Meets World.

18. Corey Fogelmanis as Farkle Minkus from Girl Meets World

19. Carlson Young as Tiffany Blake from As the Bell Rings.

20. Josie Totah as Stuart Wooten from Jessie.

Josie is truly thriving.

21. Lastly, Nat and Alex Wolff from The Naked Brothers Band.

These "then vs now" photos of our favorite childhood actors are seriously going unmissed. I mean, who would've thought that they'd grow up to be so good-looking?!

I know I love to see how celebrities are growing and thriving once they leave the show I know them from. These celebrities definitely grew up on us though and they aren't children anymore.
