Jennifer Lopez has been one of the biggest names in pop culture around the world for many years, but she wasn’t always someone everyone admired.

She is world-famous for her pop songs and later roles in several major films, and has been a fixture in celebrity news since she was a teenager.

The singer is now married to actor Ben Affleck as the pair rekindled their old romance and tied the knot in Las Vegas this year.

In several interviews, however, Jennifer Lopez has confirmed that she was teased and bullied in her youth, especially when she was 17 years old and played many sports.

She was a track and field athlete and also played softball. So, at Jenifer Lopez nicknamed “guitar” because of her figure at that age.

Nowadays, she is considered a woman that many would like to be like her, but this did not seem to be the case in her youth. However, what helped her overcome the bullying was the fact that she didn’t let the labels affect her and proceeded to make those who bullied her feel stupid.

Just two years after suffering this harsh experience, she got the role in the movie ‘Selena’. The producers at the time claimed that they chose Jennifer Lopez not only because of her clear talent, but also because of her physical resemblance to the late singer she was tasked with portraying.

She received a Golden Globe nomination for the role and never looked back.
