What does Honey Boo Boo look like now? Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson first burst on to the scene in 2012 on Toddlers and Tiaras. She was a saucy little 6-year-old back then and she immediately won viewers over with her down-home accent and hilarious turns of phrase.
It's been six years since then and Honey Boo Boo has become a reality star with her own show Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, she's supported her mom through an astonishing transformation on Mama June: From Not To Hot, and she's been there through her family through all kinds of up as downs. She's grown up a lot since her Toddlers in Tiaras days.
Take a look at the America's Little Sweetheart now.
