Photographer Leo Lardy created this comical collection of throwback movie posters, which uses old images of the film's star. The photographer replaced each image with a candid shot of the baby-faced child actor or actress.
The series is quite extensive and includes films such as 'Twilight,' 'Lord of the Rings' and 'The Wolf of Wall Street.' One of the most hilarious images is that of the movie 'Drive.' Actor Ryan Gosling is wearing an over-sized jacket while standing in front of a car he won't be old enough to drive for at least five years.
This series of throwback movie posters brings a comical twist to the iconic film. However, the series is also a friendly reminder to viewers, that these highly successful movie stars were once young innocent children. The whole collection humanizes the celebrities that society looks up to on a daily basis.
