Brilliant Recreations of Funny Childhood Photos

While the original picture was cute, the updated version is priceless. Taken when the lads were all grown up, the second picture is part of an online trend where people recreate old family photos. Read on for plenty of laughs as we take you through 40 of the funniest examples of this adorable online trend. 

A fashion show must have inspired the original picture, and it looks like the same clothes were used many years later to recreate this photo. They didn’t miss a single detail, from the dresses and the hats all the way down to the shoes. Watch out, all you supermodels! 

We can see how much fun this girl had recreating the scene and having a laugh at her own expense. She probably found this old photo and decided to have some fun with it. Here’s hoping she didn’t need those Band-aids for real! 

Looking back at Halloween photos gives us the chance not just to laugh at ourselves but also to see what fun styles were trending at the time. Seeing the expressions on the faces of the little kids recreated on their grown-up selves is also a lot of fun. 

Sometimes it takes growing up to remind us of how much fun hanging out in nature can be. It’s nice to see these old friends coming together to relive their time in the park. As grownups, it’s easier to appreciate simply hanging out with no responsibilities to nag at us. 

It was so easy to recreate this photo with just googly eyes, but how many people do you think they creeped out by this look? It looks like they kept those exact same googly eyes for many years just so they could recreate the photo! 

Believe it or not, these photos are 30 years apart. Perhaps that’s what makes this picture so unique. So much time has passed, yet you can still see how close these two are. 

It just looks like a classic holiday family picture that holds a lot of fun memories, but there seemed to have been some challenges when they went to recreate it. Maybe in the end, the baby on top should have been the big boy on the bottom.

These two did a fantastic job recreating this classic photo. From their outfits to the decorations in the background, it’s just perfect. Birthday parties always stand out as the ideal occasion to capture memories, but nowadays, they make even better opportunities to recreate them. 

This image of the boys all grown up would be a photo worth treasuring on its own. However, after seeing the original photo, it becomes even more special. We must also point out that it’s more than just their bond that has grown – look at those beards!

The siblings must have had a great time recreating this photo and getting everything just right. From the color of their shirts to the flavor of the ice cream, they didn’t miss a single detail. We wonder if, this time around, the other one got to enjoy a cone too.

They managed to do a fantastic job when recreating this cute shot. It’s almost exactly the way it was back then, except maybe the boys have gone through a few growth spurts. The biggest difference between these photos is how mom looks down at her boys in the original but up at them in the remake. Oh, how they’ve grown. They gave us a fantastic recreated photo in the cutest way, even with mom “holding” the baby. 

It’s so easy to let our hair down and be silly as kids, and it’s just fantastic that these siblings have held onto their hilarious sense of humor. They did a great job capturing their silly faces and “scary” T-Rex hands in this photo. 

This is such a wholesome photo, and this brother and sister team nailed it perfectly. There’s something about freckled redheads that really makes us nostalgic for the good old days. It’s also lovely to see that these siblings are as close as ever. 

These brothers were so sweet to agree to recreate this photo for their parents. We’re not so sure the older sibling realized how hard it would be to hold his grown-up brother all these years later, but they sure were committed to making this photo happen. 

It wouldn’t have been as cute if they simply chose to make a brand-new family photo, so we’re glad they chose to remake the original one. They worked hard getting not just their facial expressions down pat but also their clothes. Did you notice the He-Man T-shirt? 

Judging by the smiles on their faces in the recreation picture, it’s clear these siblings are still as creative and close as they were back then. Look how they’ve grown. We can only imagine how proud their parents must be that they chose this cute photo to recreate. 

It’s always fun to relive the past, but maybe these guys went a bit too far. Some things should be left as adorable memories to cherish. Still, you have to give them credit for trying. 

Surely, their parents were thrilled that the brothers chose to recreate this photo as adults. Only they know the relationship the brothers built between them in the meantime, and lucky for us, they shared the remake. 

The bride was dressed in an adorable pink and white outfit with lovely, giant sunglasses, while her husband-to-be was captured holding a microphone or toy of some sort. They must have really enjoyed recreating these photos for their friends and family. 

Obviously, they realized how simple it would be to recreate the photo with that classic pose and those preppy clothes. We have to admit, though, that getting those smiles just right might have been a little harder. Thankfully, they totally nailed it. 

In the photo recreation, we see the twist. This time the daughter is the one graduating while holding her father. Clearly, these two have a great sense of humor and have really enjoyed supporting each other through their educational achievements. How she managed to carry her father, though, is beyond our imagination. 

What a fun photo to recreate! Although all grown up, the girl still looks like she’s going to take on the world now that she can fit into those big boots. Her parents must have loved that she chose to recreate this photo. We can see her strong personality shining through. 

This classic photo recreation, taken 25 years later, is just so spot on. Although the kid is not a newborn anymore by any stretch of the imagination, this father-son team did such a fantastic job at making the swaddling work. What an adorable memory to recreate for both of them. 

Either way, these siblings had so much fun recreating this photo for their parents. We hope Santa remembered all their present requests and sent them along to the elves back at the North Pole. 

The fact that the brothers decided to recreate this photo from 25-plus years ago was just so sweet and thoughtful. They not only posed in the same positions but got the details exactly right, from the clothes to the background. They even had it done in a professional studio. 

They did such a fantastic job recreating it, making sure everything was just right down to the last detail. As much as we should give credit to the mom behind the scenes, we have to give credit to the dad for agreeing to hold the youngest son even though he’s a grown man now. 

Although, honestly, the better question might be, how did she even get up there in the first place? The fact that she chose this photo to recreate as an adult tells us that this must have been something she regularly did as a kid. We’re just impressed that she could get up there again to recreate this hilarious photo. 

Granted, she has changed just a bit. There’s no doubt she found her own unique style. The fact that she was able to find a dress with teddy bears on it in her size is just astounding. What a fun time she must have had recreating this photo. 

They’re all so much taller than they were. In fact, if you look at the two younger siblings on the right side of the original photo, you can see how they’re now taller than their older siblings. We wonder how the older siblings feel about seeing the youngsters towering over them. 

A lot of effort went into this recreation, from finding the exact spot to wearing the exact same style of clothing. It’s amazing that he and the photographer were able to find the right location after so many years had passed. 

These two brothers did an excellent job recreating this photo. Everything is perfectly the same, from the bedspread to the backboard and even the shirt the older brother is wearing. It must have been so much fun remaking this photographic memory. 

As an adult, he still loves being helpful – so much so that his parents had him recreate this precious childhood photo. They did an amazing job finding a diaper and bib large enough to fit an adult!

We love that they made all the details line up, from the window to that unique flooring. He got the pose just right. However, it’s the facial expression that puts the proverbial cherry on top.  

We bet the photo request made his day, as it must be so nice to know that you have fans as dedicated as this young man. Have you ever taken a photo with a celebrity? 

In fact, we can’t decide which picture is cuter. Of course, the baby will win the cuteness contest every time. But there’s something undeniably adorable about this grown-up kid trying to fit in that same old bowl. That kitchen hasn’t changed much – even the clock is the same!
