Guess these World Leaders from their Youth Pictures(6 is Unrecognizable)

What do you imagine when you hear about famous personalities like Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, or Margaret Thatcher? Maybe a middle-aged person, thinking of the strategies to save their country or trying to shape the political map.

It is not surprising to see how these political leaders who were once young were also clueless about their future. They are world leaders, but how can we forget that they were once young like us. Similarly, these childhood pictures of Hollywood celebs show how they were not worried about their career.

Most of the world leaders were not born to become the President. Some dreamt of becoming a pilot or doctor, but it is a destiny that has different plans for them.

Let us have a look at the old pictures of dictators and politicians before they left their impression on the global stage.

See how this 10-year-old John F Kennedy looked with sleek hairs? He was the 35th President of the United States and spent most of his time establishing relations with the Soviet Union during the Cold War.

He also comes under the list of one of the powerful world leaders who were assassinated. His death was heartbreaking for all the U.S. citizens. But, still, the mystery of Babushka Lady (during JKF assassination) is under curtains.

Do you know the current president of the US, i.e., DonaldTrump was once a reality television star? While some think what he is doing for the US is ruining the country, others love him for his planning/doings.
