Doesn't it seem like #TBT has been a thing since the beginning of time—or at least since the beginning of social media? In fact, although there were a handful of Tweets mentioning "Throwback Thursday" in Twitter's infancy, April 2012 is when the hashtag "#TBT" really took off as a mainstream trend.But since its inception three years ago, the hashtag has provided us with many adorable, hilarious, and flat out ridiculous vintage pics of some of our favorite celebs. In honor of the three year anniversary of one of social media's biggest (and our favorite) trends, these are the some of the famous names that have posted amazing #TBTs.
