8. Michael Fassbender
Fassbender appeared in this wonderful Mastercard ad you’ll remember from 2002, but forget that he actually starred in it.
Another fun fact, is that this ad was directed by Oscar-nominee and Room director, Lenny Abrahamson. Michael was about 25 here.
9. Chris O’Dowd
Here he is back in 2006 with a mystery girlfriend and the most ‘Irish lad attempts to dress up’ example we could possibly find.

10. Domhnall Gleeson
This is lil Domhnall in Studs. He made this movie back in 2006, making him 23 at the time.
We’re big fans of his grunge look at the Harry Potter premiere just seven years ago
