Reese Witherspoon: growing up I was a four eyed square with glasses

It is hard to imagine Reese Witherspoon, one of Hollywood's sweetest yet sexiest stars, ever even having an ugly day, let alone enduring years of taunting for her physical "differences."

But it turns out the leading lady (and producer) of the new fairy-tale flick "Penelope" has had her fair share of ugly years.

"I was actually teased quite a bit growing up," Witherspoon told Pop Tarts at the Hollywood premiere of "Penelope" last week. "I was a four-eyed square with glasses and I was picked on because of my weird, short-person walk."

But even despite the stress of the spotlight, the Oscar-winning mother-of-two has learned to love those "flaws."

"At the end of the day, you just have to accept what you have been given and appreciate the flaws," Reese said. "You can't get too down on it."
