What actor Jack Black looked like in his youth: the image went viral

Jack Black is one of those actors who can easily play charismatic and funny roles. One of his most memorable roles is in the film School of rock (2003), in which the 54-year-old artist played Dewey Finn, who pretends to be a teacher in a school and forms a band with his students.

Although the comedian has always stood out for his slightly crazy side, which is reflected in his personality and physical appearance, it seems that this was not always the case. Indeed, three decades ago, Black used a very different look than today.

During this weekend, an old photograph showing the American actor in his youth went viral on social networks. This had a great impact among Internet users, especially because of its difference.

Concretely, the photograph was taken when the interpreter was around twenty years old. You can see that he had shaved hair, was a little thinner and had a very serious face.

“Basically Jack Black before being Jack Black” wrote the Instagram account in a post @itsjmaine where the image went viral.

“I had two options. Become a serial killer or give us School of rock And First year. He chose wisely,” “He sacrificed his appeal to be funny. My regards!” and “He looks like Robbie Williams”, are some of the comments reflected in the post.

On the social network X (formerly Twitter), users were also surprised by Black’s old look. “It looked grim at the time.” , “He looks like a different person.” , “He’s like the lead singer of an avant-garde pop/punk band.” underline certain writings.

Note that the performer began his career with the film Bob Roberts (1992), at the same time the image was taken. In the following years he would become famous with productions such as Alta loyalty (2000) and Blind love (2001).
