With 2019’s first Internet challenge of the year, the year has officially started! Last year, we had quite the funniest, most hilarious, weirdest and confusing challenges from the #InMyFeelings challenge to the #WhatTheFluff challenge, It is great to see that we are carrying that energy into 2019 because barely two weeks into the new year and we already have our first worldwide viral challenge – the #10YearChallenge.
The #10YearChallenge simply involves the participant posting two pictures alongside each other on the Internet – one from ten years ago and one from this year – and letting their followers and social media audience gauge how hard age hit them and see how amazing the glow up has been. Sounds fun right? Well, a lot of our favorite celebrities thought so and indulged in this fun challenge and shared their pictures from ten years ago on Instagram and these are our favorites.
Toke Makinwa
Multimedia personality Toke Makinwa was most definitely made for this challenge and these pictures placed side by side prove that.
