Finnish public figures got excited about the youth photo challenge.
A youth photo challenge is currently underway on Instagram, in which several well-known people have also taken part. The idea of the challenge is simply to publish a self-portrait from your youth on Instagram.
Look below, would you recognize, for example, the artist Jesse Kaikuranta under his dark hair?
Long hair and earrings
The youth photo of host Ile Uusivuore caused hilarity among his followers.
– Well, ass, okay… a youth picture. Dream Theater Awake had just been published (hence the shirt) and 6:00 and The Mirror was knocking loudly… Tilut was interested. I was young and I needed discipline… I was supposed to be wild and free. I probably knew everything about everything and was heavy as hell. I did dream about the things I’ve been able to do now, so hey. It has gone very well, Uusivuori writes in the text.
Artist Jesse Kaikuranta shared a photo on his Instagram account, in which he poses as a young person, completely unrecognizable. Kaikuranta has given up long hair in adulthood.
– Youth photo challenge. By the way, there were about five liters of hairspray in that hair, says Kaikuranta.
Radio presenter Minna Kuukka published a summer vacation photo from decades ago.
– I decided not to engage in this nonsense. But the spine is like the handle of a rubber boot. So: 16 years. Language course. The bar in the picture is not related. Nope. That’s what it was like, says Kuukka.
A celebrity chef Harri Syrjänen poses in his own challenge photo as a teenager. Two earrings adorn the earlobe of young Syrjæs.
– Same person, different era. Would you recognize? The celebrity chef asks his followers.
Presenter and journalist Riku Rantala participated in the challenge with an army photo. The picture was taken in 1996.
Rapper Paleface posted a picture on his account from the early 1990s.
– Hip-hop couple in the middle school in 1991, Paleface specifies in the caption.
