Everyone knows him — he is just 5 years old in this photo, but now he is 36.

Everyone knows him — a face that has become familiar to millions over the years. In this photo, he is just 5 years old — a small child with bright eyes and an innocent smile, completely unaware of the incredible path that life has prepared for him.

At that age, he was simply enjoying childhood, playing, dreaming, and discovering the world around him. Now, years have passed, and that same little boy is 36 years old. He has grown, changed, and evolved — shaped by time, experiences, and challenges. Despite all the ups and downs, one thing has remained constant: his presence, his story, and the way people admire him. It’s hard to believe that this grown man, known and loved by so many, was once that tiny boy in the photo. Life moves fast, but photos like this remind us of where it all began.

Everyone knows him — he is just 5 years old in this photo, but now he is 36.
