Los Angeles: Playing a nasty schoolgirl in the new dark comedy Young Adult, actress Charlize Theron recalls her own high school days as the girl who never fit in, especially with the boys.
The 36-year-old said she was bullied by her classmates for her nerdy glasses and not having the perfect haircut and clothes, reported People magazine.
“I wore really nerdy glasses because I was blind as could be and the boys didn’t like me. I didn’t have any boyfriends, but lots of crushes,” Theron said.
Theron says she had longed to be part of the in-crowd, causing her to do crazy things.
“I wasn’t in the popular crowd. There was a really popular girl at school and I was obsessed with her. I mean you would go to jail for that stuff today. I was in tears one day because I couldn’t sit next to her,” she added.
Theron also said that she was a mess in primary school.
“I actually got a lot of the mean girl stuff from the ages of 7 to 12. I was pretty much a mess in primary school. But I got that out of my system by the time I got to high school and was more immune to all of that stuff.” (PTI)
