Reese WitherspoonReese Witherspoon has revealed she was bullied at school because she was short and wore glasses.

Speaking at the premiere of new film Penelope about a girl with a pig’s nose, Reese revealed that like the main character in the film she was teased for her looks: “I was actually teased quite a bit growing up.”

“I was a four-eyed square with glasses and I was picked on because of my weird, short-person walk.”

But she hasn’t let her petite stature hold her back: “At the end of the day, you just have to accept what you have been given and appreciate the flaws. You can’t get too down on it.”
