    The leading Victoria’s Secret Angel told FOXNews.com, "I was such a tomboy growing up -- boys didn't think of me as one of the sexy girls. I was just someone they would beat around with and ride motorbikes with."

  3. Charlize Theron

    "I had these big nerdy round glasses that I cannot believe my mother sent me to school with. I mean seriously. It just made every boy not look at me," Theron has said of her school days.

  4. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

    The "Transformers" babe told GQ, "I was really teased about the way I looked at school. I got teased because of my lips. I got called t*t lips -- because I had big lips but no breasts."

  5. Katy Perry

    "I had enormous boobs that I didn’t know what to do with, so I wore minimizers, which were not cute. Those thick-ass straps! I got made fun of for the over-the-shoulder boulder holder."

Megan Fox is considered one of the most ravishing women in Hollywood, but growing up, she tells Miami magazine: "I was never the pretty girl."

At 25, she's the face of Giorgio Armani beauty, but as a teenager, Fox says she was "abrasive" and "obnoxious," and that she felt like a "loner." Hard to believe she wasn't swarmed by guys ...

But Fox isn't the only ugly duckling who grew up to be a swan. "Transformers" babe Rosie Huntington-Whiteley told GQ, "I was really teased about the way I looked at school. I got teased because of my lips."

Katy Perry, meanwhile, paid the price for her curvy figure. "I had enormous boobs that I didn’t know what to do with, so I wore minimizers, which were not cute. Those thick-ass straps! I got made fun of for the over-the-shoulder boulder holder," she told Elle.

And Taylor Swift was famously bullied by "Mean" girls. "Junior high was actually sort of hard because I got dumped by this group of popular girls," Swift told Teen Vogue. "They didn't think I was cool or pretty enough, so they stopped talking to me."

    I hate it when celebrities talk about how they were bullied when they were kids! "Oooh, I was never the pretty girl..." Yeah, so what were you? The f*cking hot girl?

    "I'm sooo relatable! I'm just like you!" Yeah, whatever.

    Megan Fox has a very striking looking face and eyes, but her body is rather ordinary.

    Megan Fox's Barbie fake-plastic look is more... Unattractive than attractive. It bugs me.
    Miranda Kerr is very pretty, in a open and real way.
    Taylor Swift is not attractive, her face and body leave me turned off.
    Katy Perry is meh, and I dislike her music.
    Denise Richards is Ok.
    Tyra Banks creeps me out, not that pretty. Model pretty, not real pretty.
    Rosie H. W is ok, a bit typical looking.

    It should stimulate us to think...these women we hold as the most ravishing women in all the world. Yet, even they think so low of themselves that they undergo plastic surgeries and other things.

    Most women are far more ravishing than they know. It is true that the spirit matters more than flesh...but beauty and good health are about knowing what works best fo.r YOU

    I would really like to see what they looked like back in the day..... I am sure none of them were as awkward as they tell. Although, the owl glasses are a bit much....it's not the most awkward thing.

    I ALWAYS look right through the makeup a girl wears to try to form an opinion on how they actually look underneath it. Megan isn't distasteful but she does rely on her makeup quite a bit as this image of her shows. Given the makeup thing I've mentioned, Miranda Kerr appears to have more naturally attractive looks than the other seven in the slide show.

    Honestly, I find Megan Fox stunning. She's fair skinned, she's got a nice body, and she had beautiful eyes. Its hard to believe someone that looks like her could have ever not been that attractive, but I suppose it does give hope to some of us ugly ducklings.

    Don't think her forehead looks all that good, as I said, rather ordinary.

    I can see her being kinda gawky growing up...The glasses chick, yeah, I can see looking awkward. As for the other ones...maybe. But Katy Perry is no Dolly Pardon, even if her breasts are on the big side...All these women knew they were good looking enough to be someone, so don't kid us ladies...

    I don't believe that Megan Fox should count due to all of the plastic surgery she had to get done just to look as she does. She is fake and that is all.

    Just MHO, but I think the young lady looks much better in the photo on the left.

    "Real" freckles, "Real" facial structure, 'Real' person! Sorry... but she didn't do herself any favors with all the bondo, rustproofing and undercoat. At least she might be able to offer an extended warranty to somebody!

    I cant really say for certain since I never saw most of these when they were teens; most of them I have a hard time believing they were ever awkward because they have such beautiful features (Charlize Theron especially) as for Megan Fox, she's had alot of work done, but for somebody whose response to a comment that she looked like Angelina Jolie was "I look way better than her", I find it hard to believe she ever thought she wasnt pretty.http://punchbowlblog.c... megan fox before fame

    That's kinda ironic considering she got the surgery in hops to look more like Angelina in the first place.

    I totally agree! I heard at one point that she was flattered by the comparison, and then she was quoted as saying it irritated her because "I look way better than her"---she pissed me off with that, and before that I had nothing at all against her.

    I love T-Swift! but the thing is, I don't like when she says like how her childhood was hard because she felt nobody liked her and everyone thought she wasn't pretty, because honestly, look at her, makeup or not, she's always been gorgeous since she was young. Some of us, arn't so lucky to be naturally attractive, people like me have to work at it, I can't relate with someone who only thinks they understand how it feels to feel ugly and hoepless. I still love Taylor, I know we all have our hard times, she sure did, but mostly with guys and relationships, heartache.... at least boys like her, I'm the only single, lonely one of my friends right now and it sucks. But she's the kind of girl that isn't judgemental and is beautiful inside as well as out.
