Celebrities - they are just like us! Growing up feeling insecure about their appearance, thanks to youthful joys with braces, big ears, big breasts and more! We've all been there!
Celebrities recall these awkward phases, and how “ugly days” led them to fame and success!
Gwyneth Paltrow
“I think being a 13-year-old girl sucks, no matter what century, what time. It was cruel. It has been a really tough year for me. I was a teenager with an awkward, awkward body. I had braces and decided it would be nice to shave the back of my head. I think this is a period in your life when you try to try on different people and want to understand what kind of person you will become. And it hurts too."
Kim Kardashian
“I was only 10 years old when my breasts began to develop. I remember crying in the bathroom. I took a washcloth, moistened it with very hot water, put it on my chest and prayed: “Please don't let them grow anymore! They confuse me!"
Margot Robbie
“I grew up without feeling particularly attractive. You should have seen me at the age of 14 - with braces and glasses, lanky and doing ballet!"
Nicole Kidman
"I didn't know if I could become an actress because I was so tall and awkward."
Jennifer Aniston
“I never liked my buttocks. It's kind of a joke. I had a booty with a soap bubble, and I was teased."
Gisele Bundchen
“Even before I started modeling, I got used to bullying because I was always tall, thin and awkward. I blushed all the time while playing volleyball. I thought bullying was just life."
Cindy Crawford
“I hated my eyebrows and my hair. My birthmark was the subject of bullying, and I was embarrassed, and that set me apart from others."
Mila Kunis
“I had a very funny face when I was little. I had big eyes, big lips, big ears. I was constantly ridiculed for my big eyes, and it was terrible. I came home and cried: "Why do I have big eyes?", And my parents said: "You're crazy!"
Serena Williams
“Most of the female athletes are pretty skinny. I really didn't know how to deal with it. I had to come to terms with it - like every teenager - and love myself. I found role models for myself. But now my body type is in vogue, so I like myself!"
Kerry Washington
“I grew up thinking that I was not beautiful; there have always been more beautiful girls than me. So I learned to be smart, tried to be funny and developed within myself, because that's the only thing I had."
Beyonce
“Of course, I had a terrible period. When I was 10 or 11 years old, my mom gave me an awful haircut and I was really, really chubby. So chubby that my family kept putting me on the floor so they could zip up my jeans."
Rihanna
“I've been teased all my school life. Why they chose me, I did not understand. At first it was the color of my skin. Then, when I got older, it was about my breasts."
