Leonardo DiCaprio
Yes, that's tiny teenaged DiCaprio in his first movie: 1991's Critters 3. The costars would get more attractive in later films.

Can you believe that someone harmed Matt Bomer's perfect form in 2006's The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning?

Viggo Mortensen
It's actually kind of impressive how many famous, hot men have been in the Texas Chainsaw franchise. Mortensen appeared as a member of the demented Sawyer family in 1990's Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3.

George Clooney
The fact that 1988's Return of the Killer Tomatoes! is on Clooney's résumé honestly makes us love him more. The year before, he starred in Return to Horror High.

Kevin Bacon
Bacon has appeared in a number of horror movies over the years, but one of his very first movie roles was in 1980's classic scary camp movie, Friday the 13th. As you can probably deduce, his character does not survive.

Matthew McConaughey
In 1994, the future Oscar winner starred in Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation as a villain, along with Renée Zellweger as his intended victim.
