It is today that fans from all over the world call Irina Shayk one of the most beautiful women in the world and sincerely admire her. As a child, it was precisely because of her special appearance that the supermodel suffered from constant attacks from her peers.
Let’s find out what offensive nicknames they came up with for her.
From childhood, Irina Shayk was very different from her peers: swarthy, with naturally plump lips and obscenely long legs, she was not at all like most of her peers. The special appearance of Shayk, of course, aroused the envy of her classmates, which resulted in real persecution.
Girls from Irina’s school even came up with some offensive nicknames for her. Here is how the supermodel recalled this period in one of her interviews:
“I was the thinnest in my school, besides I liked to wear high heels and short skirts. For this thinness, tall height, and legs like matches, they called me “plywood” at school. And for dark skin – “Chunga-Change “.
However, all attempts by Irina’s peers to give rise to complexes in her about her appearance eventually turned into a failure. Sheik has always been self-confident and knew exactly what she wants to achieve. The star never tortured empty hopes, but simply wisely used the opportunities that life threw at her. Therefore, as soon as a scout from a modeling agency noticed their beauty and offered her to become a professional model, she agreed without hesitation and left to make a career in the West.
Now she does not harbor anger at former classmates who once called her names. On the contrary, Irina is humorous about the ridicule she suffered at school and is never averse to a little joke on this topic. Once Shayk called on her former classmates to confirm that her plump lips came from nature, and she did it in a rather funny way:
“I call to witness all those who laughed at me in elementary school: my lips are natural!”.
Well, we admire Irina’s self-irony and self-confidence and believe that each of us has something to learn from her!
