Nina Dobrev, former star of The Vampire Diaries, is a beautiful young woman. Not surprisingly, she was an adorable child, too.

The actress recently shared a couple of those sweet childhood photos, much to the delight of her fans.

This first shot features a little Nina Dobrev holding a pair of pet rats.

Yes, rats.

“Are those rats? Why am I playing with rodents? That can’t be sanitary!” she captioned the picture.

In this next shot, an adorable Nina Dobrev, dressed in overalls, is enjoying a juice box.

“Juicing became trendy over the past few years. Whatever. I’ve been juicing since the early 90’s…#NBD #OGjuicer #FlashBackFriday,” she captioned the photo.

Not everyone who is cute as a child grows up to be a nice looking adult. That can’t be said for Nina Dobrev, however.

This weekend, Nina attended the Creative Arts Emmy Awards in L.A. and likely knocked the socks off photographers who were covering the event. Wearing a long baby blue skirt with a slit that exposed ample thigh, and a tight black tank top, Nina Dobrev was dazzling. She paired the look with black and white high heeled sandals and a small metallic clutch.

Nina wasn’t the only celebrity having her picture taken at the event. She posed for a selfie with Julianne Hough and her fiance Brooks Laich.

Nina Dobrev will grace the big screen in October when she stars in The Final Girls.

Do you suppose that adorable little girl had any clue about the success she would achieve as a Hollywood star?
