13 Celebrities Who Turned From Ugly Ducklings Into Sex Symbols
Many of us admire people on glossy magazine covers. For some, they’re the model of beauty, for others — the role model. Yet few of us realize that some of them have gone through a long and thorny path of self-improvement.
We at Bright Side collected some photos in which the objects of our admiration don’t look like themselves at all.
Chris Pratt
2003, 2017
In his youth, the actor believed that talent was enough to be successful. Yet later he realized he looked inappropriate, and so he did a lot of work on himself. Looking at Pratt now, one cannot say he has problems with self-confidence.
Katy Perry
1999, 2012
Katy wasn’t always pleased with her feminine body. In her teens, she dreamed of a model’s body and even wore Spanx underwear. However, over time she learned to love herself and proudly declared:
David Beckham
1995, 2013
In his youth, David didn’t care much about his appearance. He was wrapped up in football and dedicated all his time and attention to it. Only when his name became known all over the world did Beckham begin working on his image, doing it solely for the sake of the show.
Shakira
1990, 2012
Looking at the revealing outfits in her clips and at concerts today, one wouldn’t say the singer was ashamed of her body.
Justin Timberlake
1996, 2016
"Everything for which you’re being ridiculed, everything that makes you strange in others’ eyes as a child, will lead you to success in adulthood," Justin assures.
Rihanna
1998, 2008
“We always find flaws in ourselves,“ Rihanna says. She confesses that she managed to believe in herself only because of success. ”Previously, I would slouch, put my hands on my knees, and sit silently, embarrassed by everyone."
Dwayne Johnson
1990, 2016
Dwayne Johnson began his journey of self-improvement from childhood. He believes that hard work on yourself is the right way to your dream.
Nicki Minaj
2002, 2016
In her childhood, Nicki had some complexes associated with her appearance. But when she got into show business she did a lot of work on herself. Now the singer doesn’t have problems with self-love.
Adam Levine
1996, 2016
Despite unsuccessful experiments with his image in his youth, Adam didn’t suffer from a lack of attention. The singer is constantly working on himself to be better because the female half of his audience never take their eyes off him.
Demi Moore
1970, 2010
It’s hard to believe that as a child Demi suffered from strabismus. At the start of her career, she even had to undergo 2 surgeries to fix this problem.
Kate Hudson
1993, 2016
Kate’s parents wanted their daughter to choose a more "down-to-earth" profession, perhaps because of her average appearance. But this never stopped her from following her dream of becoming an actress.
Kate Winslet
1985, 2016
At school, Kate was considered a fatty and was teased for it. Yet years later, she learned to accept herself as she is, and she finds advantages in everything.
January Jones
1989, 2014
The actress and model never suffered from a lack of attention. On the contrary, despite her image as a child, she was always confident in herself. January is afraid of plastic surgery and believes that youthfulness of the face can be preserved with the help of various tricks.
