  • Gabrielle Union shared a hilarious throwback photo from her childhood on Instagram.

  • Fans said the L.A.’s Finest star has not changed one bit.

  • Janet Jackson, who nominated Union in the #UntilTomorrow challenge, also shared a throwback photo from when she was younger.


From juggling toilet paper to tagging friends to do push-ups, there are a ton of quirky Instagram challenges circulating on the platform as we follow social distancing guidelines. But the latest is truly hilarious: It’s called the #UntilTomorrow challenge, where people share embarrassing photos of themselves with no other explanation, and celebrities are taking part.

One of our favorites? Gabrielle Union shared a throwback photo from her childhood, and it’s truly a gem. In the vintage pic—with the tagged location as “Yikes”—Union is wearing a collared shirt underneath a purple sweater and has her hair parted down the middle. “Ya’ll that damn collar popped. I. Cant,” she wrote in the comments, followed with “Before braces like a mug.”

Fans flooded the post with messages about how Union hasn’t changed one bit. “U look the same dude,” one person commented, while another person wrote, “OMG you have not changed 😱.”

“This pic is PEAK elementary school. Like... I hear the class bells just looking at it,” another comment read.

Union wasn’t the only celeb to participate in the challenge. Janet Jackson, who nominated Union, also shared a throwback photo from when she was younger. Jackson also nominated stars like Ciara, Naomi Campbell, Normani, and more, but they have yet to participate. (This is where the challenge gets confusing. Some users say that, in order to keep the trend going, you’re supposed to message people who like the picture first.)

Beyond giving us a goofy glimpse into her past, Union has clearly been spending a ton of time with her family at home during the coronavirus outbreak. The actress has been sharing photos and videos of her adorable daughter Kaavia James, which is the wholesome content the world needs right about now.
