“I was like a, literally like a stick insect as a child, like really like flat chested, straight down skinny. Let us say I was unique looking, had big teeth, big lips, you know? So everyone always used to say she should do modeling. And I wasn't a confident child. I never thought I was pretty as a child. And I definitely didn't as a teenager. So like the more people said it, I used to think, if I could be a model, then I'd probably feel confident and I didn't have any other plan. I wasn't good at anything. Except for art," she has said.

5. She Tried Modeling Due to Her Unique Looks

“I grew up with magazines, girls magazines, there was like these ones, they used to come out every week and they used to always have a modeling competition in there.” she went to one. “I didn't win. But the photographer liked me. And he said, you know, like you should actually do modeling. So I went back for another photo shoot. Anyway, I got a contract, but my family decided to move and then that just squashed," she has said.
