Hollywood Celebs Who Didn’t Shy Away From Opening Up About Their Difficult And Weird Phases (3 of 4)

Sara Sampaio

One of the most popular Victoria’s Secret models, Sara Sampaio wasn’t the stylish beauty she is now. She is quite a sport as she posted a few pictures of herself from her early life to entertain her fans. From the snaps, it can easily be made out that her fashion sense has evolved to a great extent. In one of the photos, the gorgeous diva looked hilarious in tinted shades and a butterfly tattoo.

Justin Timberlake

Justin certainly has a huge female fan-following who go swooning after his godly looks. But things were not the same for him as a young college boy. He was often subjected to bullying and was laughed at for having acne and awkward hair. The hit singer once told a reporter that as a kid he would always want to fit in. As he grew older, he realized that it isn’t the fitting which makes us interesting. In fact, one needs to embrace and be proud of own uniqueness. He further added that he would not be who he is now had he let those discouraging words from his bullies get to him.

Alexandra Daddario

We know you were always curious to know more about this Baywatch babe. She made our wish true as she talked about her nerdy younger days in an interview with People. She said that through her character in Baywatch she was trying to make all her former older peers regret who never approached her considering her to be a nerd. She was having her revenge by flaunting herself and showing them what they missed out on later on. Although Alexandra was a bookworm, getting into show business for always her desire. She bagged a part in All My Children as early as her teenage years. She got to play Lauren Lewis on the hit soap for one year.

Jameela Jamil

Jameela hadn’t had a birthday party in her childhood years. Although her parents threw one when she turned 10, no one showed up because she wasn’t that great at making friends, as she told that W Magazine while doing a screen test. She was easily bullied and lacked social skills.

Some major factors that kept her from living her life were that she believed she wasn’t very pretty (stills feels she isn’t) and that her hearing was impaired until she turned 12. The fact that she is half Indian and half Pakistani, and belonged to a less-privileged background further drove her confidence away.

The radio presenter further added that she had her first kiss at the age of 21. It was around the time when the flick 40-Year-Old Virgin had been released and she had received about 25 copies of it from friends. One of the closest friends made her sit on a bench by the bus station and gave her a nice and long kiss that she remembers to date.

As far as her hearing issue is concerned, it was fixed with surgery involving eardrum replacement. She added that it was her difficult childhood that led to her evolving into a more observant, as well as an emotionally intelligent personality.

Gwyneth Paltrow

As she was talking about her teenage daughter Apple during her interview with Today, Gwyneth reflected on her teenage life as well. She said that her 13th year was brutal and a really hard one. While she was trying her best to accept her “gawky” body, she went on to shave some part of her hair for she felt that look would go well with her braces. The actress continued to add that teenage years are painful as we try to figure ourselves out and find our true personalities.
