Before KIIS FM and American Idol, there was little Ryan Seacrest, who grew up and went to school in Dunwoody, Georgia.  He’s been career driven from a very young age.  He knew he wanted to DJ and began hosting the morning announcements at Dunwoody High School, but was still anything but a star.  Seacrest admits he was teased about his weight at school, revealing he weighed 180 lbs at the age of 13.

“I wore braces and glasses and was fat and got teased about it,” he said. “But I was always very ambitious.”

At age 16, he became one of the youngest deejays to host a radio show in Atlanta. Fastforward 17 years, and now you can’t listen to the radio, watch television or read a magazine without hearing his voice or seeing that sparkling white smile. Who’s laughing now, right?

Here he is as a chubby-cheeked schoolboy…

He definitely didn’t stay chubby for long. Ryan after he laid off the Little Debbies…

Check out the pants!

Can you believe he played football??  Can you spot him?
