10 celebrities who were bullied as children (11 photos)

The rich and famous, particularly stars of the big screen and stage, are usually thought of as people who live their entire lives as if in a fairy tale. Indeed, some are very lucky. But not everyone had a cloudless childhood...





1. Henry Cavill was bullied for being overweight as a child.



He doesn’t hide it and honestly admits: “I was fat. They called me Fat Cavill.”

2. Alan Alda survived polio





He underwent a six-month course of treatment and made a full recovery. “It was hard for me. But I think it was even harder for my parents, because they couldn’t afford to hire a nurse and had to look after me on their own,” he says. “It’s always better to pay a professional.”

3. Kate Winslet was teased at school for her appearance.



"They made fun of me because of the way I looked. In particular, because of my stocky figure. They teased me a lot," says the actress.

4. Mayim Bialik Was The Object Of Ridicule



“I was very small for my age and developed late, so I was bullied in every possible way. I worried a lot, cried and felt as if some important things were passing me by. I still sometimes feel the same way today,” admits Mayim .

5. Tom Holland was teased for being a dancer



“There was a time when I was bullied for dancing and all sorts of things. But my armor was strong and it was impossible to humiliate me so much that I stopped dancing,” he says.

6. McCauley Culkin was the constant focus of unhealthy attention as a child movie star.



According to the recollections of his brother Kieran, one day on the street a woman simply walked up to McCauley, pulled off his hat, looked and said: “Yeah, that’s him! You’re not that cute.” And then she handed him the hat and left.

7. Pete Davidson was in a mental hospital as a child.



Starting at the age of nine, he was in and out of the clinic, and he says that in the fourth or fifth grade he tried to drown himself (and, fortunately, it didn’t work out).

8 Dax Shepard Survived Sexual Assault



“12 years passed before I dared to talk about it. And I constantly thought that it was my fault and that I must be gay for this to happen. These crazy thoughts tormented me for 11 or 12 years,” - says the actor.

9. Natalie Portman turned into a sex icon as a child, and it really scared her.



This happened after she starred as Matilda in Leon and several other films: “Being sexualized as a child, I think, took away quite a lot from my own sexuality, because I was terribly afraid of it all.” ..."

10. Janet Jackson was called a “pig” as a child. Her brother Michael came up with this nickname.



“There was a time when Mike constantly teased me and came up with offensive nicknames. He called me “pig”, “horse”, “boar for slaughter”, “cow”, etc. But I am sure that he did not do it out of malice " says Janet.
