Childhood fame is notorious for producing less than savory characters. Here's a tribute to the fit few who braved the paparazzi and managed to have semi-functional adult lives.
10. Leonardo DiCaprio: His charming boyish good looks won the hearts of millions in "Titantic" (1997). Luckily for DiCaprio, he looks exactly the same 14 years later.
9. Joseph Gordon-Levitt: Before he became obsessed with ZooeyDeschanel, Levitt was a cherubic child who could summon "Angels in the Outfield" (1994) simply by waving his arms.
8. Justin Timberlake: Fun fact: Justin used to sing before becoming a fake comedian or whatever it is he does now.
7. MacaulayCulkin: After one of the most prolific child acting careers, Culkin hasn't done much except get busted for drug possession and watch as his engagement to Mila Kunis was broken off. Now he's "Home Alone" (1990) again.
6. Jodie Foster: Your roles tend to increase in prestige when you make your name playing a 12-year-old prostitute.
5. Drew Barrymore: It's easy to seem successful when you start off as a 13-year-old snorting gutter glitter — that's slang for cocaine, according to About.com.
4. Olsen twins: Their celebrated joint performance in "Mary Marcy May Marlene" (2011) — Wait, just kidding, we're thinking of their younger sister.
3. Justin Bieber: In light of his recent paternity test, the Biebs' mega-hit "Baby" takes on a whole new dimension; you're a man now Mr. Bieber.
2. Lindsay Lohan: We wonder if this Lindsay Lohan ate that other adorable Lindsay Lohan in "The Parent Trap" (1998).
1. Shirley Temple: She's still alive. It's pretty impressive that she made it into her 80s despite decades of being forced to tap dance for food.
