30 "ugly ducklings" that have changed for the better with age

Life is an amazing thing. Here was a man in his youth an awkward, awkward and pimply teenager, endured ridicule and insults, suffered from unrequited love. 5-10-15 years pass – and suddenly he turns from an "ugly duckling" into a beautiful swan. Don't you believe it? And there are a lot of such cases!

On the Reddit site there is even a special group Ugly Duckling ("Ugly Duckling"), where such stories are collected. Look at the photos – they inspire! Of course, being a good person is more important than having a nice appearance. But, hand on heart, no one will refuse to have both.
