Although some stars launch their careers thanks to YouTube or The X Factor nowadays (shoutout to Justin Bieber and One Direction!), a lot of celebs actually got their starts in commercials. There’s a good chance you may have even watched these commercials back in the day and not even realized that those kids would turn into some of your faves. From Victoria Justice to Josh Hutcherson, here are five celebrity commercials you didn’t know existed:

Another award show has come and gone and the celebs are making their way back to their jobs and hometowns.
In today’s installment of Celeb Snaps, we see Hollywood’s elite flying home from the Emmy Awards, getting back to their routines, and getting right back to work.
What celebs were out and about this weekend?
Tina Fey, 42, took the first flight out of Los Angeles, Calif. after the Emmy Awards Sunday evening. The 30 Rock star looked like she was far more comfortable in her airport attire than her beautiful Emmy gown.
While on the East Coast, the cast of Gossip Girl was busier than ever. Stars Michelle Trachtenberg, 26, and Kelly Rutherford, 43, were spotted rehearsing their lines on their NYC set.
Meanwhile, former castmember Taylor Momsen, 19, was spotted at the Tokyo International Airport in Japan where she is currently on tour with her band, The Pretty Reckless.
Hollywood moms Jennifer Garner and Gwen Stefani were on opposite sides of the world despite both being Southern California girls. Garner, 40, was running errands and looking gorgeously bare-faced in Brentwood, Calif. while Stefani, 42, was promoting her album, Push and Shove, with the rest of her No Doubt bandmates in Paris.

The cast of Gossip Girl isn’t new to the fashion world. Almost every cast member has been featured in a clothing or beauty campaign since the show’s beginning.
Penn Badgley, 25, is the latest star to be tagged as the face of a major fashion house. He stars in Alexander Wang’s Fall 2012 Ready-to-Wear video alongside rappers A$AP Rocky and Diplo.
Penn’s girlfriend, Zoe Kravitz, 23, is very close with the designer and sat front row at his spring show last February. Unfortunately, both were at the Toronto Film Festival and were therefore unable to attend Wang’s Fall 2012 show.
Which other Gossip Girl stars has found success in fashion campaigns?
Newlywed Blake Lively, 25, has a roster of fashion campaigns up her sleeve. Her debut was for none other than Chanel, where she posed for Karl Lagerfeld’s camera and posed with handbags and accessories. Her latest campaign, however, is for the Gucci fragrance, Premiere.
The blonde stunner channels old Hollywood glamour in the shots.
Next up is Leighton Meester, 26, who appeared in Vera Wang’s fantastic fragrance, Love Struck. The singer-actress looks gorgeous in the romantic ads and claims she’s been a longtime fan of Wang’s.
Ed Westwick, 25, is a full-blown fashionista. He walked in the Philipp Plein fashion show in July 2012, was featured in Plein’s ad campaign, and also starred in the Kswiss print ads in 2011. It looks like Westwick is taking cues from Chuck Bass himself.
Both Jessica Szohr, 27, and Taylor Momsen, 19, have also been in advertisements for major fashion brands – OP and Madonna’s Material Girl line respectively.
