ROSIE Huntington-Whiteley used to be called “kipper lips” at school.

The model-turned-actress — voted sexiest woman in top 100 lists by both FHM and Maxim magazines this year — used to be bullied by girls teasing her for her large lips and small chest.

“I was really teased about the way I looked at school. I got teased because of my lips,” she said. “I got called t*t lips – because I had big lips but no breasts. And then I was called kipper lips.”

Rosie was also physically threatened by the group of girls, who she likens to the popular-girl clique in Lindsay Lohan movie Mean Girls.

“There was this big group of girls who were the local answer to Mean Girls and they would storm the bathrooms shouting ‘I’m going to f***ing get you Lips. See you on the school bus,” she said.

Rosie rose above the bullying to get her break as a model when she was 17 which has now led to her replacing Megan Fox as the leading lady in new Transformers movie, Dark of the Moon.

While she is excited about the role, Rosie is also prepared for any critics.

“I’m not here to win a popularity contest. I’m here to work and have a career. Let the haters hate. I’m ready for the criticism,” she said.
