Before they were in the biggest movie of 2014, the cast of Guardians of the Galaxy were just a bunch of kids in high school. In honor of “Throwback Thursday,” see what the Guardians of the Galaxy cast looked like back in the day. Who were the geeks? Who were the freaks? Who were the chic?

I feel much better about myself seeing the famous as high schoolers.
Although I did have a Mullet in High school….
great feature… zoe, still very… very… very hot, i would be crushing on her, wait i still am.
Would never recognize Diesel. And Zoe got prettier.
Very cool post. I thought Vin Diesel was his real name, lol. 🙂
He rocks it David and I'm sure you did too
He looks very different with hair
A very attractive woman Jeremy. Crush time!
Diesel is a lot cooler than Sinclair
No Bautista?
