Salma Hayek was teased for being short

Even Salma Hayek was self-conscious of her height when she was younger.
I felt like Ugly Betty many, many times. I’m very short so when I was growing up, people made fun of me as if it was like a birth defect, a deformity… like I was in a circus or something. I think we all have something people point out to you when you’re a kid and then you point it out to yourself nonstop. – Salma Hayek
Things worked out OK for Salma, she certainly didn’t let her lack of height stand in her way.
