If you've been seeing a lot of celebrities posting old photos of themselves online lately, there's a very good reason. And it's for a good cause.

Nick Kroll's #PuberMe Challenge is asking celebrities to share photos of themselves from their awkward teen years. For every celebrity who participates, Stephen Colbert will donate from his AmeriCone Dream Fund to Hurricane Maria relief efforts in Puerto Rico — and Kroll has promised to match the donations.

As Kroll said on The Late Show last week:

“There’s catharsis in showing who we were and what we became."

And so the celebrity pics have come streaming in...

Here's James Van Der Beek of Dawson's Creek fame:

And Michelle Trachtenberg from Buffy the Vampire Slayer:

But perhaps capturing the awkwardness of our teen years best of all is Reese Witherspoon's #PuberMe pic:

Ah, to be 14 again.

Needless to say, Reese's fans loved it:

Other celebrities have joined the #PuberMe challenge on Twitter including the epically awkward Patton Oswalt:

Conan O'Brien:

And of course Colbert himself:

Colbert's AmeriCone Dream Fund is funded through proceeds from the sale of Ben & Jerry's AmeriCone flavor ice cream, which was inspired by Colbert.

The #PuberMe challenge will continue as long as it needs to. Meanwhile, celebrities and others continue to urge the White House to do more to help relief efforts.

Until then, let's enjoy this picture of Cersei Lann...I mean, Lena Headey on a horse:

Even Trump's NASA Director Had To Set Kim Kardashian Straight After She Said The Moon Landing 'Didn't Happen'

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy—who is also NASA's Acting Administrator—issued the weirdest fact-check ever when he corrected reality star Kim Kardashian after she revealed herself to be a moon landing conspiracist.

Conspiracy theorists have long alleged the moon landing was fabricated by NASA in what they claim was an elaborate hoax—and Kardashian certainly made it clear where she stands in a video speaking to co-star Sarah Paulson on the set of the new Hulu drama All’s Fair.

Special Olympics Fires Back At Kid Rock With Powerful Statement After He Used 'The R-Word' To Describe Halloween Costume

MAGA singer Kid Rock was called out by Loretta Claiborne, the Chief Inspiration Officer of the Special Olympics, after he used the "r-word"—a known ableist slur—to describe his Halloween costume this year.

Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, was speaking with Fox News host Jesse Watters when he donned a face mask and said he'd be going as a "r**ard" for Halloween. Watters had guessed he was dressed as Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases who spearheaded the nation's COVID-19 pandemic response.
