There’s a new challenge that is taking the Internet by storm and it involves sharing awkward throwback photos of yourself from when you were 20 years old. In this hectic and scary time, this trend came as a much needed breath of fresh air – or at least some Twitter users suggest so. Thousands of people are participating in the trend, including celebrities, who’re sharing these images to entertain themselves and others too.
It appears that the trend was sparked following a tweet by a user of the micro-blogging site on April 14. “Lmaooo what did y’all look like at 20?” the user tweeted. In the course of the following week, the trend began to take off with people quoting the tweet and sharing photos of themselves at age 20. Eventually, a few hashtags also started emerging online and one amid them, #MeAt20, is topping the list of India trends on Twitter since morning.
From cricketers to actors to politics, renowned personalities from all walks of life are enthusiastically taking part in the trend and sharing pictures of their younger self. While some dropped witty captions, others mentioned how much they have changed over the years.
Just with the hashtag #MeAt20, here’s what former cricketer Virender Sehwag tweeted:
