Rosie Huntington-Whiteley used to be called `kipper lips`
The model-turned-actress - voted sexiest woman in top 100 lists by both FHM and Maxim magazines this year - used to be bullied by girls teasing her for her large lips and small chest.
She told the News Of The World newspaper: "I was really teased about the way I looked at school. I got teased because of my lips. I got called t*t lips - because I had big lips but no breasts. And then I was called kipper lips."
Rosie was also physically threatened by the group of girls, who she likens to the popular-girl clique in Lindsay Lohan movie `Mean Girls`.
She added: "There was this big group of girls who were the local answer to Mean Girls and they would storm the bathrooms shouting `I`m going to f***ing get you Lips. See you on the school bus."
Rosie rose above the bullying to get her break as a model when she was 17 which has now led to her replacing Megan Fox as the leading lady in new `Transformers` movie, `Dark of the Moon`.
While she is excited about the role, Rosie is also prepared for any critics.
She said: "I`m not here to win a popularity contest. I`m here to work and have a career. Let the haters hate. I`m ready for the criticism."
