Celebrities like Kumail Nanjiani, Margaret Cho and Jimmy Kimmel have shared awkward throwback photos of themselves during puberty in support of hurricane relief efforts for Puerto Rico.
On Wednesday’s episode of “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” guest Nick Kroll challenged celebrities to share photos of themselves during their awkward teen years, using the hashtag #PuberMe. Stephen Colbert then vowed to make a donation from his AmeriCone Dream Fund towards the hurricane relief effort for every celebrity that participates. And Kroll promised to match the donations.
“And I’ll decide what a celebrity is, thank you,” Colbert said.
Sarah Silverman, Mark Duplass and Gina Rodriguez have already stepped up to the challenge.
Pitbull, Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna and Ricky Martin have been vocal about the need to help the island after the devastating Hurricane Maria. Others have been trying to get Donald Trump’s attention on the island’s devastation.
See the throwback photos below.
