on

When we look at celebrities today, we immediately see, I believe, that they must have had a comfortable and simple life growing up. You’d be surprised how many celebrities have had a difficult time growing up physically, mentally, or financially. Some of the celebrities in this list have really seen it the hard way. Dive in to see the list of celebrities who had tougher times growing up compared to now. You will be just as shocked as we are.

Christina Hendricks

Christina Hendricks has now become a beautiful woman who has a large following. Growing up, however, wasn’t always the same for this gorgeous woman. Her school days were quite miserable. Christina has a strong goth side and purple hair. She was part of a drama group at school and most of the other students seemed to hate her and others of her kind. We get it Christina; A lot of women out there have had problems similar to yours.

Demi Lovato

Demi Lovato didn’t always see happy days as she sees now. Her weight was a big issue growing up and many kids chose her for the same reason. The problem became so severe that she even had eating disorders at the time. When she was 12, Demi was bullied a lot at school. Despite her childhood troubles, Demi is doing pretty well now. She admits to being quite a brat herself.

Steven Spielberg

Known as one of the most spectacular directors right now, Steven had tougher times when he was younger. Steven was a nerd during his days and, like other nerds, was treated like an outcast. He was like one of those kids who played the clarinet in a band or an orchestra. Steven was part of his school band and also played the clarinet! Glad he got better later.

Taylor Swift

Taylor has won multiple awards and lives the good life with parties available as and when she wishes. She doesn’t even seem to have a shortage of friends. Based on her pictures and her Instagram profile, she seems to be having the time of her life. However, it was not the same at school. Taylor said she was extremely lonely at school and the main reason she started writing songs was because she hardly had any friends. She mentioned that other students in her class were making party plans and how exciting her Friday night was going to be, but Taylor was never invited to any of those parties. Taylor, we’re sure these classmates are now regretting it.

Charlize Theron

After a stunning performance in Mad Max , Charlize seems and has always been very successful in her career. With great acting skills in her kitty, there seems to be no end to this young lady. However, things weren’t always as easy for Charlize during her school days as she seems to have it today. She had no friends in high school! She had a crush on this one boy who was a few years older than her, but he didn’t even notice her. It was as if she hadn’t existed in his world at all. Well Charlize, the universe seems to be working in your favor now, which is great!

Selena Gomez

As one of the most beautiful singers out there, Selena has experienced her fair share of heartbreak. School wasn’t easy for her either. She was constantly bullied by her other classmates. Selena said they bullied her every second, every day. It’s okay now Selena, you seem to be feeling okay.

Christian Bale

The leadership of the legendary Batman series reflects a personality of strength and achievement. Ironically, Bale wasn’t always as powerful as in his films. He was beaten by several boys for many years while he was at school. He was bullied a lot and was kicked and punched all the time. Poor Ballen, we’re happy for you now.

Kristen Stewart

After making the blockbuster hit movie Twilight , Kristen’s life took a massive turn. During her school years, she found it difficult to relate to most children her age. Kristen said she was glad to drop out of school and take up acting. Her classmates were very mean to her and didn’t really give her a chance to fit in.

Naya Rivera

Naya, who is known for her role in Joy is now 28 years old. However, her high school days were not as joyful as they are today. She said she was almost like Artie and Rachel. Like Artie, she was a nerd and always tried to fit in. She consistently tried to keep her hair flat at all times, like most nerds at school. Like Rachel, she always knew what she wanted but was never really pleasing. After singing and acting entered her life, things didn’t seem so bad after all.

Lady Gaga

Even today, when Lady Gaga goes to certain events in her unconventional attire, she immediately attracts media attention. We suspect that her nature didn’t start with her career, but much earlier. When Gaga was younger, she was always teased. Kids her age would call her ugly and weird. They told her that her laughter was so funny and asked her why she sang all the time. “Why are you in the theater and why are you wearing your make-up like that?” Are some of the other questions that people would keep bombarding you with.

Jessica Alba

The gorgeous tor-turned-businessmannow came from much more humble beginnings. Her parents weren’t doing very well and she wouldn’t fit into their circle of friends. During school, she would sit with the nurses to have lunch, as the rest of her class wasn’t very responsive. Alba comes from a mixed race, which also caused communication problems. Also, she never had the kind of nice clothes that the other kids would wear, or a fancy backpack. Now Alba is a wife and a great mother living a happy life.

Megan Fox

Now one of the sexiest actresses on the block, Megan wasn’t as lucky as a kid. She was terribly bullied by the rest of her class. When she was only fifteen, Jessica knew she wanted to be an actress. The rest of her friends knew it too and would make fun of her. On one Halloween , a girl from her class came dressed as a cat woman. When the rest of the girls asked her if she was the cat lady, she replied that she wasn’t dressed as Megan Fox! Ouch. The girl was very obvious and made fun of Megan. Megan on the other hand didn’t say a word to her at the time as she was really shy but look at her now!

Brittany Snow

Brittany, who is a great actress, was bullied on a daily basis when she was much younger. The constant bullying made her want to face other struggles while also making them stronger. She was treated like an outcast and felt alone most of the time. Poor Brittany, we are glad that you are a stronger woman now.

Chad Michael Murray

We always wonder how guys like Chad can make the list, right? Well, Chad hated high school and barely had any friends. He said that he didn’t fit in and could barely socialize with people. Now he has transformed into a talented young actor and has a huge following.

Cameron Diaz

As sexy as she is, Cameron had some rougher days when she was at school. She admits that she was a total moron and a nerd. She also called herself an idiot! All the children would make fun of her as she was extremely thin and lanky. Although finding a boy isn’t very difficult for Cameron, they didn’t really look at boys back then. Well Cameron, everything is happening for the best, right.

Mischa Barton

During her school days, Mischa didn’t seem to get on too well with the popular girls in her class. She came from a poor background and did not have enough money to buy the beautiful clothes. The situation made her confident and that played a big part in her confidence.

Zac Efron

Zac is considered one of the most infatuated guys withan attractive and talented young person. It was during his school days that Zac had the hardest time getting around. He’s a heartthrob now and millions of girls would die to know him. Zac said he was a part of musical theater while in school, which isn’t widely recognized. There were guys who were tall, had big beards, and stood out, while Zac looked scrawny, thin, and was a clumsy 17-year-old. He began to bloom and look sexy much later. For Zac, attending high school was a complete disaster. We feel you Zac!

Malin Akerman

The beautiful actress didn’t really like the popular or wanted guys during her school days. She said that she was geeky and a nerd and didn’t have any friends at that stage.

Jennifer Garner

She looks like a goddess and we hope you agree. Jennifer was one of those classroom nerds who had no frivolous wants or needs and lived a simple life. She was never part of the popular group and always sat in the corner of her class. She was one of those people who stood on the fringes of the group, and she wasn’t wearing the right clothes either. She even admits that she was a naturally geeky person. Jennifer was in the school band and at the age of 13 it wasn’t exactly a cool thing. If someone had asked her what she wanted to be back then, she would probably have said a librarian. Well Jennifer, we wonder what happened there!
