10 Celebs Who Admit They Were Bullied Before Fame
Celebrities are not immune to mistreatment from strangers. A lot of celebrities dealt with bullying when they were younger before they got famous. It is unfortunate that so many people have to deal with mistreatment from bullies on a regular basis but it is definitely part of reality.
At the end of the day, it is nice to realize that bullies only take the time to bully other people because they are so insecure and unhappy with themselves. An individual who is truly happy within themselves doesn’t use their energy to hate on another person. We can safely assume that whoever bullied the celebrities on this list probably feel very regretful now.
10 Jessica Alba
Someone as gorgeous as Jessica Alba has dealt with bullies in the past. She said, "My dad had to walk me [to class] so I didn’t get attacked. I’d eat my lunch in the nurses’ office so I didn’t have to sit with the other girls. I’d get beaten up and picked on all the time. It was about being different and not fitting in. Apart from my being mixed race, my parents didn’t have money, so I never had cute clothes or a cool backpack." The fact that kids pick on other kids based on clothing and backpacks is so insane. It is so very sad that she had to go through that.
9 Jason Segel
Comedian Jason Segel dealt with haters at a young age because of his size. He said, “I’ve been 6′ 4 since I was 12. I was 6′ 4, 100 lbs. I looked like Jack Skellington. Kids used to stand around me in a circle and one by one they would jump on my back and the rest would chant, ‘Ride the oaf! Ride the oaf!’ It’s true.” Being tall should never be an issue but during childhood days, it can be quite difficult to tower over everyone else.
8 Lady Gaga
According to NY Daily News, Lady Gaga faced a lot of criticism in her past. She said, “Being teased for being ugly, having a big nose, being annoying. ‘Your laugh is funny, you’re weird, why do you always sing, why are you so into theater, why do you do your makeup like that?’ … I used to be called a sh--, be called this, be called that, I didn’t even want to go to school sometimes.”
Lady Gaga is far from ugly and her love for theater is what led her down the path to success. Good thing she didn't listen to the haters. She has created such an amazing career for herself in the music industry.
7 Christian Bale
According to Contact Music,Christian Bale was bullied at the age of 13 when he first started acting in commercials. His classmates weren't a fan of his acting aspirations. He said, “It was not a great time. I was a victim of bullying and had other kids kicking and punching me every day. It was an early lesson in how making a film can set you apart. If you don’t want to live with the consequences then don’t make the film.” Thankfully, he kept acting regardless of the bullies who attacked him.
6 Blake Lively
Blake Lively wrote in an Instagram post, "Kids used to make fun of me in elementary school by calling me Big Bird (because I was 'too tall' and had 'yellow' hair). Here’s to making best buddies with the things that once hurt you."
These days her model-like height with those amazing long legs and her blonde hair filled with body & volume are things plenty of women wish they could have!
5 Priyanka Chopra Jonas
While she was in high school, Priyanka Chopra Jonas dealt with a mean girl who tried to turn her life upside down. She explained, "There was this girl who was a major bully. I think she didn't like me because her boyfriend liked me, or some high school dynamic. She made my life hell. She used to call me names and would push me against the locker." The bullying issues made Priyanka want to move back to India from the United States.
4 Megan Fox
Megan Fox, as beautiful as she is, dealt with bullying when she was a teen. She said, "There were some evil girls in my school and I went to Christian high school. I was 15 and everybody knew that my aspiration in life was to become an actress. One girl came to school on Halloween in a black leather catsuit and everyone thought she was Catwoman. She answered, ‘No I am Megan Fox.’ She was making fun of me. I didn’t say anything to her. I was really shy." The girls who bullied Megan Fox probably feel very stupid right now. They must have felt especially horrible after Megan Fox's debut in Transformers.
3 Henry Cavill
These days Henry Cavill is known as the Man of Steel since playing Superman in DC's most recent movies. Back in the day, he had a very different nickname though. He revealed, "I was Fat Cavill. I bawled on the phone to my mom four times a day. My version of Superman is essential a guy who has spent his whole life alone." Wow! Well, he is no longer the type of guy living life alone.
2 Kylie Jenner
Kylie Jenner has been getting bullied since she was 9. That is such a young age to have people berating you and saying harmful things. She has blossomed into such a beautiful, hard-working, and impressive woman. She took to Snapchat to share a message with her fans. She said, "I think that I've done a really great job at handling all of this. But there are bullies everywhere. This isn't a pity party though ... This is so that others with bullies out there know that you're not alone." She is a wealthy and successful beauty so the haters really can't say much at this point.
1 Brittany Snow
Brittany Snow revealed, "When I was younger, I was bullied daily. I know what it's like to feel alone and outcast." (People.) Feeling alone and outcast is a terrible feeling but even someone as pretty as Brittany Snow has felt that way before. She was inspired by her experience getting bullied to start an organization called Love is Louder which helps kids who facing depression and dealing with bullies.
