Celebrities share awkward teen photos to raise money for Puerto Rico

To help the victims of Hurricane Maria-damaged Puerto Rico, Stephen Colbert and Nick Kroll came up with #PuberMe, in which they challenge celebrities to post photos from their pubescent years. The campaign, that kicked off at the end of last month, involves the two comedians donating $1000 for each such photo, to One America Appeal, a charity started by all five living former U.S. presidents that helps with hurricane relief.

Nick Kroll asked me to post a pic of my awkward stage, but I never had one. So here's me lookin' cool as hell! #PuberMe #PuertoRicoRelief pic.twitter.com/UC9a7XtjZa

Hypnotized by the universe from early on. But @StephenAtHome, must my pubescence have been awkward to make the cut? #PuberMe pic.twitter.com/VgFs53M1px
