People can't believe who young boy is that went on to become one of most famous people in world

He grew up to become one of the most controversial figures ever

A whole load of people are struggling to believe who a young boy they saw a picture of grew up to be.

Everyone in the world was a precocious little child at some point in their lives, it's usually who they turn into when they grow up that makes them particularly famous.

Last year, people were left gobsmacked by this viral photo of three future mega stars together (along with one significantly less famous child actor).

And now an image of a blonde-haired, blue-eyed boy has certainly proven divisive, with some calling him 'wonderful' and 'sweet', while others dubbed the man he grew into 'an incorrigible amoral atrocity' and 'the worst monster there could ever be'.

Another questioned why the boy had to 'grow up' when he was 'an innocent sweet little kid'.

The boy in the picture has ended up being one of the most internationally recognised faces right now. I mean, his face gets spoken about a lot (whether that be a good thing or bad), especially when it comes to the distinct shade of it with that blonde hair.

But despite his global presence with his current face in the US, not many can recognise this little kid frozen in an innocent moment of time from the viral snap.

In case you hadn’t guessed, that little boy in the photo is actually Donald Trump.

These days, the businessman is significantly older, though how much wiser he has become is a matter of some debate.

He's still going on with his diatribe about annexing Canada and turning it into the 51st US state, recently declaring that if the North American nation wanted protection under his new 'golden dome' scheme then it would either cost them $61 billion or they could have it for free if they joined the US.

Canada's new prime minister Mark Carney has made it pretty clear his country is 'not for sale, ever' in the face of Trump's rhetoric, and his is not the only country that has been threatened by the US president.

Trump has been making serious threats towards Greenland as well, which like Canada has insisted it's not for sale and has no wish to become an appendage of the US.

He’s even ‘joked’ about attempting to run for third term as US president – something that would go against the Constitution. They grow up so quickly, don't they?

In other Trump news, he’s been publicly slamming the ‘absolutely crazy’ Vladimir Putin and continuously making references to a ‘World War 3’ – something that might seem childish if it wasn’t so chilling.

Either way, users on Instagram are divided over the childhood snap as one wrote: "Ohhh sweet," with another echoing support: "Not a monster. I stand with you.”

However others slammed: "You became the biggest monster that this country would ever see.”
