From Nicholas Hoult To Bow Wow: 15 Actors Who Went From Boys To (Hot) Men

As we were fanning ourselves while watching Nicholas Hoult play a weirdly hot zombie in Warm Bodies, we had to come to terms with the fact that this strapping young actor was the adorable young-un who helped Hugh Grant get the girl in About a Boy 10 years ago. Wow, we thought, what a pleasant surprise to see these cute child stars make good ... and yummy. But really, we shouldn't be that surprised. As we started combing back through the boy stars of the early 2000s, we discovered a nice number of them had made this transition quite nicely. From big movie names like Daniel Radcliffe and Bow Wow to TV stars like Shia LaBeouf and Zac Efron, these kids are making good --- and are now totally legal and not at all creepy to stare at. Enjoy 15 of them in the gallery below:
