British model-turned-actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has opened up about being bullied in the modelling industry. The 24-year-old, who was named this year's hottest woman on earth by Maxim magazine, was told to lose weight when she first started her career. She said: "When I started modelling, I was definitely heavier. "I was quite voluptuous in fact. I had a real baby face and baby fat. But I was a baby! I was told I had to get into better shape, but I'm quite stubborn so I didn't." The Transformers: Dark of the Moon star added to British Elle magazine: "You can bullied as a young model, but there was a point where I found my voice, effectively."
