Thylane Blondeau was told she was the most beautiful girl in the world when she was only 6 years old. Now, she's all grown up and looks quite different from when she was given the title.
The 24-year-old, still stunning, now sports long dark hair and plays up her gorgeous features with the help of makeup.
Blondeau was first recognized for her striking blue eyes, long blonde hair and pouty lips at the age of 3 when she was handpicked by fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier. She eventually strutted down her first runway a year later.

Her modeling career catapulted from there and three years later, she received the 'most beautiful' title.
She also holds the title of the world's youngest model to ever pose for Vogue Paris at only 10.
Nowadays, the French model has worked for fashion powerhouses such as Miu Miu, Dolce & Gabbana, L'Oréal Paris, Versace, Ralph Lauren and Hugo Boss.
Expectedly, the 24-year-old has also built quite the social media following.

In addition to modeling, she reportedly has her own clothing line called Heaven May Clothing, as well as a beauty and hair care brand called Enalyht.
Despite being complimented on her looks her whole life, Blondeau has remained humble and never thought much of it.

'People are like, 'You know, you're the most beautiful girl in the world', and you're like, 'I'm not, I'm just playing with my iPad',' she told the Telegraph in 2018.
'Even today, people are like, 'You are the most beautiful girl', and I'm like, 'No, I'm still not, I'm just a human being, a teenager,'' Blondeau told the outlet.
Despite what some might assume, Blondeau hasn't had it easy — especially when it came to her health.

The 24-year-old revealed in late 2021 that she had undergone multiple surgeries for complications with ovarian cysts.
She vulnerably shared her experience on social media after a cyst 'exploded in her stomach.'
'From this experience I've learned that when you're body hurts, don't let it slide and take care of it, you must see different doctors until some of them find the problem and heal it,' she said at the time, according to Daily Mail.
'Any pain, even the little ones, can hide something way more important.'

Do Me A Favour And Stop Sending 'Happy Birthday!' Texts In The Group Chat
The past might be a foreign country but if you're an older millennial with a Yahoo email address and a drawer full of trainer socks, the present is no less baffling. Why are grown men trading punches over plushies? What in the name of god is the poop rule? Who's eating all the cottage cheese? Bewildering trends like these are hardly a modern phenomenon, I know, but in the age of TikTok they spread from one side of the world to the other before you can say 'Dubai chocolate'. Consequently for those of us who dip in and out of social media instead of maintaining a constant online presence, logging into Instagram on a Sunday night can feel like climbing the Magic Faraway Tree and finding yourself in a strange new land. Still, crazes come and go and for the most part provoke nothing more than a chuckle or a raised eyebrow. So what if we lose the run of ourselves every now and then? Ultimately the clamour subsides, the dust settles and society rights itself again. Events rarely spin completely out of control because the majority of people, I like to think, know how to behave — online and off. And then a friend drops a message in the group chat. 'Happy Birthday Tash!' It is 7.01 a.m. and you are still in bed, rubbing sleep from your eyes. Within minutes, texts begin to arrive from the other members of the group. You can tell who's made an effort to personalise their message — or, perhaps, who is in a rush — by the presence of an extra exclamation mark here or an abbreviation there. 'Happy Birthday Tash!!!' 'Have a great day T x' 'HBD Tash!' The birthday girl, hopefully having a lie-in, is silent and now you are feeling the pressure to add a greeting to the chorus. The fact that there is a thoughtfully chosen card for Tash propped up on your dresser, to be handed over when you meet her later for a celebratory drink, is neither here nor there. Failure to participate in the birthday pile-on will be noted not just by Tash but by everyone else in the group. Dutifully you tap out a message and head for the bathroom to brush your teeth. Friends coming together to wish another friend happy birthday. Harmless enough, right? Wrong. If you ask me, the person who sends that initial message is committing an egregious act of friendship hit-and-run. Think about it. DM a friend on their birthday and chances are you'll have to send at least one follow-up text when they inevitably ask how you are and what you've been up to. Share your well wishes in the group chat, however, and you sidestep the time-consuming business of engaging in further conversation — a particularly effective strategy if the friend in question is second-tier rather than BFF. Perhaps this is the cynic in me talking but I suspect, too, that the motivating factor for sharing birthday greetings in the group chat is less a desire to make your loved one feel special on their special day and more a compulsion to show off. There is a performative function to dropping a 'Happy Birthday!' text in a space where it can be seen by people other than the intended recipient. The fact that it unleashes, almost invariably, a flood of messages from other members of the group is confirmation for the original texter that they are somehow superior. That they have won the friendship race. (I'm not extrapolating here; check out these posts where proponents of such heinous behaviour confess to relishing this very feeling.) It's the group chat equivalent of the juvenile mentality that was common in the early days of YouTube, when people — probably men, let's be honest — would scramble to be the first to comment on a clip, posting simply and quite pointlessly, 'first'. And what about the poor individual on the receiving end of this barrage of texts? Imagine waking up on your birthday, reaching for your phone and opening the group chat to find a stream of greetings all sent within minutes of each other. To my mind these aren't 'Happy Birthday!' messages. These are 'Gina's wished you Happy Birthday so now I'm wishing you Happy Birthday!' messages. Or 'Oh shit I forgot it was your birthday, good job Ellie reminded me. Happy Birthday!' messages. The overarching sentiment is not warm and heartfelt but guilt-stricken and insincere. For she's a jolly good fellow? Don't make me laugh. If you are lucky enough — or, depending on your perspective, unfortunate enough — to be part of a family group chat, there is a fun twist on this trend which involves adults who really should know better filming their kids singing 'Happy Birthday' to nan or grandad or whoever and dropping the video in the chat. We know what you're doing, guys. Send the video directly to the recipient and pass up the opportunity to have the entire family coo over your little one's adorable lisp and idiosyncratic dance moves? Please. The trouble with this is that it creates a kind of one-upmanship, with each subsequent birthday kicking off a procession of pageant-like home movies in which grown-up siblings vie to outdo one another via the medium of their children's cuteness. I have a kid myself so I understand the drive to show them off but in doing so the person whose birthday it is — the reason for all this silliness, remember — gets forgotten altogether. Am I being overly sensitive? I don't think so. There is a difference, for my money, between platforms like TikTok and Instagram, which invite and thrive on performativity, and messaging services like WhatsApp that facilitate communication on a private, more personal level (unless you are in government, of course). It is an unfortunate fact that the group chat brings out our more irritating human tendencies but perhaps that is unavoidable — a reflection of how a group of adults would interact in the real world. What makes me sad is seeing performative behaviour of the kind that we have come to expect elsewhere on social media invade these more intimate spaces. So let's commit to stop sending 'Happy Birthday!' texts in the group chat. The only person who needs to see those words is the one who's celebrating.

Dwayne ‘The Rock' Johnson reveals frustrating gut-health issue that took him years to fix
Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson had a digestive issue that he couldn't kick — and no answers in sight. Johnson, one of WWE and Hollywood's biggest stars, opened up about his health journey during a recent conversation with the man who saw him through to the other side in Dr. Mark Hyman. The 53-year-old, after years of dealing with the gut issue, had a conversation with former agent and longtime business partner Ari Emanuel about it at the end of 2023. Advertisement 3 Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson speaks on his gut-health issues. The Mark Hyman Show/YouTube 'He's like, 'What's going on?' I said, 'I've seen doctors and I can't quite nail it. I can't quite fix it. It's in my digestion,' Johnson said during 'The Mark Hyman Show.' 'I feel great — and that's the odd thing — but I just can't crack it.'' Emanuel, the CEO of Endeavor and WWE's parent company, TKO, mentioned seeing Hyman, who practices functional medicine. Advertisement The two eventually connected for a virtual visit. Johnson admitted he knew nothing about functional medicine, which, according to the Institute for Functional Medicine, provides a framework to systematically identify and address the underlying processes and dysfunctions that are causing imbalance and disease in each individual. 'You said, very succinctly, 'I'm not going to treat your symptoms. I'm going to go deeper than that and treat the root cause of what's going on,'' Johnson said. 'And I said, 'I love that.'' Advertisement The treatment began in early 2024, with Johnson set to begin his 'Final Boss' run to WrestleMania 40 with WWE. Getting to what was holding Johnson back took some heavy digging, Hyman noted. They did blood panels and a stool test, among other things, to get to the source of the problem. Johnson was in for a grueling year with WWE commitments, the release of 'Red One' and 'Moana 2,' and filming for his upcoming movie 'The Smashing Machine.' 3 Dwayne Johnson attends the 'Moana 2' UK Premiere at Cineworld Leicester Square on November 24, 2024 in London, England. Getty Images 'That was at the beginning of 2024, and I was just getting ready to launch into what would become a nine-month workload for me — nonstop work,' Johnson said. 'And I was thinking, 'Holy s–t, how am I going to get through this with my gut issues? I'm not digesting properly.'' Advertisement Luckily, Hyman was able to provide Johnson some relief, finding the issue began after he took multiple rounds of antibiotics, which messed with the bacteria in his gut. He was missing Akkermansia, which coats the lining of the intestine and protects from inflammation and a leaky gut, Hyman said. 3 Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and John Cena fight during Night 2 at Lincoln Financial Field on April 7, 2024 in Philadelphia. Getty Images 'We basically rehabbed your gut. Gave you probiotics and plant compounds—pomegranate, green tea, cranberry — to help rebuild it,' Hyman said. 'And we made you this amazing gut health shake with 10-plus ingredients personalized for you.' Johnson hasn't wrestled in WWE since, but was the catalyst for John Cena's heel turn earlier this year.
