They could be this year’s most popular Halloween costume, but 12 years ago barely anyone had heard of the Robertson family and their duck calling business.
The Robertsons, Si, Phil and his two sons Willie and Jase have since become well known for their rugged looks and wild hair and beards.
In a 2001 photo obtained by Life & Style magazine, there’s not a whisker to be seen on the Duck Dynasty men.
A family friend tells Life & Style, “They’ve all stayed pretty much the same over the years, even with the fame and fortune,” the insider explains. “They’re all so grounded.” That’s no easy feat considering that the family is poised to net $45 million from their duck-call business in 2013 alone.
“Willie has always been the jokester of the family,” says the insider.
“Alan is the only one who kept the clean-cut look. And Jase and Jep have always been quieter and more reserved than their brother Willie.”
But it seems time is standing still for their mom. “Kay looks even younger now than she did back then!”
