Every admirable woman in Hollywood was once just the cute pig-tailed girl next door. And speaking of that, these are seven of our favorite celebrity crushes–the way they were.
Eva Mendez
“I was an ugly duckling as a kid,” says Eva.
“In junior high the other kids would say, You’ve got some chocolate on your face (referring to the mole on her cheek), and I fell for it every time.”
Katherine Heigl
If you loved Cheerios as a kid, you might remember a commercial with the beaming nine-year-old version of Katherine, stuffing her face with spoonfuls of sugar-filled joy.
Today, she is remembered for saying such things as, “I think maybe I should do a sex tape” and “There’s never enough sex for me.”
Angelina Jolie
“Before I die, I wanna taste everyone in the world,” Angelina has said. She first realized this goal back in grade school when she was a member of the ‘Kissy Girls’.
As a founding member, she would hunt boys down and kiss them until they screamed.
Drew Barrymore
“God made a very obvious choice when he made me voluptuous–why would I go against what he decided for me?” Drew has said.
“My limbs work, so I’m not going to complain about the way my body is shaped.” And neither are we.
Brooke Shields
Many a young man first learned about the birds and the bees while watching Brooke in her classic film, Blue Lagoon.
Looking back over her years in retrospect, Brooke has said, “If my jeans could talk, would I be embarrassed.” Kind of makes you wonder what actually went on underneath those hip-hugger pants.
Demi Moore
“I like it not to be too large,” says Demi who grew up slightly stunted by kidney dysfunction.
“I have small hands and a small head, and I don’t want a cigar that’s bigger than both those parts of my body.” And yes, she is actually talking about a ‘cigar’.
Scarlett Johansson
“I have always been a big ham,” says Scarlett. “It’s like I popped out of the womb and said, I will perform.”
After a childhood love affair with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, she eventually turned to other odd interests, including musician Tom Waits and actor/singer David Hasselhoff.
