A-list celebrities who were geeks as kids

nerd-Zac-Efron-zac-efron-19012217-1600-1200Zac Efron — The pretty boy Hollywood heartthrob said he was far from popular in high school:

“I wasn’t a heartthrob at school; I was a geek, I was into musical theater, which isn’t perceived as the coolest thing. There were guys who were 6′ 1″ with beards and big muscles and I was a gawky 17-year-old, a skinny, awkward kid. I was a late bloomer. Growing up was hell. I could never get into trouble like the rest of my friends, my parents were very strict and taught me good values.”
