Elliott’s talents were recognized long before he became the star he is today. As a high school student, he was named the “Boy-Of-The-Month,” and the award was issued “on the basis of talent.”
An old newspaper article surfaced on social media in 2017 about Elliott winning this award. The article listed his involvement in school plays, track, water skiing, football, and vocal performances. He was also described as being “dark haired, blue eyed and 6′ 2″ tall.”
The article contained an accompanying photo of Elliott. It’s so strange to see him at such a young age!
But even though Elliott was much younger and lacked his now-signature mustache, you can still recognize him. Check out the photo of a teenage Elliott below.
Isn’t it interesting to see what Elliott looked like before he became famous?
