If you have ever gone gaga over your favourite personality or role model in the present times, you would probably not want to miss their throwback pictures when they were maybe much younger, stronger, beautiful and bolder. In fact, a prolonged COVID-19 lockdown has brought up many ideas on to the social media platforms, the latest being #MeAt20. The hashtag has gone viral in just a few hours with the microblogging site Twitter registering over 100k hashtag usages.
The 'Me At 20' has not only indulged the general public, but even politicians, cricket legends, TV presenters, actors, journalists, and many other famous personalities have been posting pictures of their 20-year-old selves.
"Ohh, I was overweight.. or underweight!! I had better curly hair a decade or two ago!! The innocence, hair-still-a-mess regret, the lost charm of the beauty, the missing dimples, the fair or ugly look" - every pic seems to have churned out some good old reminiscences.
Here are some interesting and prominent personalities who have joined the trend tagging leaving people in awe and appreciation.

While max people stuck to the 20-YO vintage pics, some didn't stop there and added photos of their 30s and 40s. The #MeAt20 however disappointed the young tweeple below 20 years.

The early lockdown days saw another trend on Twitter #10YearsAgo which too was a massive hit. Apart from this, nominating people for their list of favourite books (#7Books) also got a good response.
