It's hard to imagine, but Charlize Theron wasn't always the picture of yumminess she is today.
Playing a nasty schoolgirl in Young Adult brought back memories of her own school days. But not in the way you might think.
Not only was she bullied as a girl, but it seems she didn't have much luck with the opposite sex, either.
"I wore really nerdy glasses because I was blind as could be and the boys didn't like [me]," 36-year-old Theron recently told People.com. "I didn't have any boyfriends, but lots of crushes."
Once upon a time she didn't have the right haircut and clothes. The stunning award-winning actress and model Theron could be a poster girl for the It Gets Better anti-bullying campaign.
"I wasn't in the popular crowd. There was a really popular girl at school and I was obsessed with her. I mean you would go to jail for that stuff today," recalled Theron. "I was in tears one day because I couldn't sit next to her."
Young Adult opens December 9th. Take heart, girls, if Charlize can be bullied, anyone can.
