Can you name celebrities who shared their childhood pictures for our #5for5 campaign?

Childcare, Early childhood development

To mark Universal Children's Day, we asked celebrities to show their support for ¹ú²úÊÓƵ's #5for5 campaign on early childhood development by sharing their own childhood pictures. Can you spot the famous young faces including Kim Cattrall, Patrick Stewart and Sharon Osbourne?

Today is Universal Children¹ú²úÊÓƵ™s Day ¹ú²úÊÓƵ“ a chance to spotlight the need for world leaders to invest in early childhood development for every child in every country.

Children need nutrition, care and learning for the best start in life. That¹ú²úÊÓƵ™s why ¹ú²úÊÓƵ launched the #5for5 campaign, which has been backed by Antonio Guterres, who will become the new United Nations Secretary-General in January.

To show that young children around the world need your support, we asked people to share a picture of themselves under the age of five. That¹ú²úÊÓƵ™s because 90% of a child¹ú²úÊÓƵ™s brain has developed by the time they¹ú²úÊÓƵ™re five. Poorer or marginalised children who can¹ú²úÊÓƵ™t access the support and care they need are put at a disadvantage. They can end up starting school with a limited vocabulary and reduced ability to learn, which will affect their opportunities in later life.

To help those children to fulfil their potential, share your own childhood picture for ¹ú²úÊÓƵ¹ú²úÊÓƵ™s #5for5 campaign today ¹ú²úÊÓƵ“ and see if you can guess the identities of the famous people from the pictures they shared of themselves as young children. And scroll down slowly so that you don¹ú²úÊÓƵ™t see the names too soon from their Twitter or Instagram pages!
