Sometimes it seems Hollywood hotties never had any problems with friends, school, or girls. But this is far from the truth: many of them were bullied at school or had low self-esteem. One of the heartthrobs on our list today had to study a whole year at home, while another, his classmates thought he was an undercover cop.
we, from awesome.club, we were surprised to learn that these 15 Hollywood heartthrobs weren’t the most popular guys in their youth. But clearly time has done them good. Follow up!
1. Henry Cavill
The good guy’s body and roles in popular movies and series made this actor a true superman in the public eye. However, the star was nicknamed “Cavill the Fat” in childhood. In an interview, Henry said, “Even though I was really fat, I was still cruel. But kids tend to be cruel.” The star had yet another nickname — “Loss”. He was called that because he couldn’t reach girls.
2. Ryan Gosling
The heartthrob also did not have an easy relationship with his classmates. According to Ryan, he hated being a kid: he was bullied and had no friends. In addition, the star was suspected of having ADHD, so she had to spend an entire year studying at home.
3. Justin Timberlake
The singer started his career very early, when he presented the show Mickey’s Club🇧🇷 This should have brought him popularity among children, but the exact opposite happened. In a 2015 presentation, Justin admitted, “In school, I was constantly teased and called weird and stuff I can’t say on television.”
4. Tom Cruise
Tom has been a mainstay of the film industry without losing ground for over 20 years. But his childhood was not easy. Back in school, he was always pestered by bullies because his family used to move constantly and he was always the rookie, making him an easy target. Also, Tom suffered from dyslexia, which didn’t help his self-confidence; and the girls paid no attention to Hollywood’s handsome future.
5. Shawn Mendes
The young singer has become extremely popular in recent years, but the beginning of his career was quite complicated. Here’s how Shawn remembers his 15th birthday: “In 9th grade, I posted one of my first YouTube videos. The next day, at school, they started teasing me, yelling at me, ‘Hey Shawn, sing for me!’ And I had the feeling that I had done something wrong and stupid.”
6. Mark Ruffalo
As a child, Mark wore braces and was not respected by his classmates. In 2017, the actor supported on social networks a boy who was bullied at school, and admitted that he was also a victim of this practice.
7. Craig David
The famous singer suffered from peer attacks during his childhood. Craig even wrote a song about it, which tells how a certain Johnny offended him. In addition, he was overweight, which did not greatly increase his popularity in the eyes of his peers and the girls.
8. Christian Bale
At just 13 years old, Christian debuted in the world of cinema and became the target of bullying at school. “I’ve been beaten up by lots of kids over the years. They turned my life into a real hell, beating and kicking me all the time,” the actor shared. But he admitted that it greatly influenced the formation of his character and made him the man he is today.
9. Tom Holland
As a child, Tom was very involved in the world of dance, and at the age of 12 he landed a role in the stage production of Billy Elliot🇧🇷 After that, the classmates didn’t give little Tom a second of peace, and kept teasing him. “I wasn’t a tough kid in school. I found a group of friends for myself and I had to put up with it,” he said of his childhood.
10. Chris Rock
As a child, the future comedian and actor still couldn’t use all his sense of humor and charisma, and his classmates saw him as just a thin, small, shy boy. Also, Chris was the only black man in his class.
11. Liam Hemsworth
Even this Hollywood hottie didn’t escape suffering in high school; he failed to gain peer respect and success with girls. “Most of the kids played football in school, and they were cool and strong. I wasn’t athletic and I didn’t play football, so I was an easy target for bullying,” Liam said.
12. Dwayne Johnson
The Rock’s school life was anything but easy. He described it like this: “At 16, I changed schools 4 times and in different states. I was already 1.95m tall, weighed 102kg, and looked like a mutant. Some classmates thought I was an undercover cop.”
13. George Clooney
In high school, the actor was stricken with a condition called Bell’s Palsy, which left his left eye closed for an entire year. He couldn’t eat or drink anything normally, and was nicknamed Frankenstein by his classmates. In 2013, George spoke in an interview about that time: “It was the worst year of my life. Children can be very cruel. I was mocked and teased all the time, but this test made me stronger.”
14. Richard Madden
the star of game of Thrones was not a tough person at school. “I was overweight, and throughout my youth I suffered constant humiliation. I started studying theater to gain self-confidence,” Richard said.
15. Ryan Reynolds
The actor won over women all over the world with his charisma and sense of humor, however, in high school, relations with the girls were not very good. “It took me a while to learn to talk to girls. Until I was 18, I looked like a Vietnamese girl,” Ryan said. There may have been other reasons, but he hated school and ended up getting expelled.
