  • Jessica Chastain was bullied, called 'ugly' in school
 Actress Jessica Chastain may be called gorgeous today, but during her school days she was labelled "ugly".
 
The “Zero Dark Thirty” star opened up about bullying during her childhood in a candid interview with Glamour magazine, reports people.com. 
 
“I was told every day at school that I was ugly. And that no one wanted to be my friend. The most cruel things," she said. 
 
“If I can do anything to help young girls and to be a cheerleader for people who sometimes have low self-esteem, I want to do that," the 37-year-old added.
