Many of us forget that celebrities didn’t always have the best of times during their childhood.
So, to help us understand this, a new thread on Reddit has revealed what stars like Leonardo DiCaprio, Lady Gaga, Kanye West and Kurt Cobain were like at school, and the answers may surprise you.
Former teachers of famous people were asked to disclose what they were really like and it appears these now ‘untouchables’ were just like the rest of us in their younger days – a bit awkward, sometimes got bullied, and not all that remarkable.
Here’s just a few of the best (or worst):
Leonardo DiCaprio
Aww, bless him.
Mariah Carey
Once a diva, always a diva.
Kanye West
Is the ‘real’ Kanye something we have yet to see?
Steve Jobs
Something definitely changed. Maybe taking LSD and travelling to India was the key to Jobs’ success?
Kurt Cobain
Good thing this guy’s mum wasn’t in the record biz.
Lady Gaga
Good advice for us ‘norms’, but Gaga definitely isn’t your usual kind of person. One in a million.
Stephen Fry
Sounds pretty accurate, to be fair.
Justin Bieber
Hey, at least fame didn’t change him…
