Schapelle’s 10 year challenge snap shows how life has changed

Schapelle Corby has taken to Instagram to participate in the latest social media craze — and has shown just how much her life has changed.

The Schapelle story: 14 years on

Celebrities are embracing the “Ten Year Challenge” which has swept social media, sharing throwback photos of themselves alongside a recent selfie, revealing just how much has changed — or hasn’t — in that time.

Reese Witherspoon, Jessica Biel and Nicki Minaj have all participated in the craze — looking like they haven’t aged a day let alone a decade.

Also included among this cohort is convicted drug smuggler Schapelle Corby, who has undoubtedly had a more transformative decade than most.

Taking to Instagram, the 41-year-old posted a side-by-side snap of herself behind bars in Bali’s Kerobokan prison 10 years ago, starkly contrasted with her present-day self looking carefree on the beach.

Clad in a blue wraparound kaftan, the Queensland native captioned the photo, “Been a rough-trot. Better now.”

While the biggest problems most celebrities faced 10 years ago were too-thin eyebrows and a bad spray tan, Schapelle Corby was in the middle of serving a 20-year sentence for drug smuggling 4.2kg of cannabis in to Indonesia.

Corby was ultimately released in 2014 after serving nine years in prison and was deported back to Australia in 2017.
