'It's not easy being cute!' Chrissy Teigen shares a childhood snap of herself covered in chickenpox

By Justin Enriquez

She is a model that has appeared in campaigns for Gilette, Olay, Nike, and recently on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue.

But before the stardom, Chrissy Teigen spent a few days of her childhood with chickenpox just like most other children.

The 28-year-old star shared a throwback snap on Thursday of herself covered in pockmarks.

Chrissy referenced a Jennifer Lopez tune as she captioned the photo: 'Don't be fooled by the pox that I got.'

In the image, a much younger Crissy had her eyes half closed as she peered into the camera with the itchy rashes all over her face.

She also donned a white T-Shirt with the phrase 'It's not easy being cute' printed on it.

The Sports Illustrated cover girl was not done sharing pictures from her childhood as she posted another three flashback shots.

In one of the other images, the young Chrissy beamed as she was seated in the lap of her mother.

The half-Norwegian, half-Thai model wore a matching shiny blue top and bottom combination and red flip flops in the picture.

The brunette bombshell captioned the shot: 'Great grandma's house in Thailand. Floors are overrated, i agree grammy grams.'

Chrissy also posted an adorable snap of herself in a red long sleeve T-shirt and darker red patterned bottoms while holding onto flowers.

She recently married singer John Legend in a romantic Italian wedding in September after dating for seven years.

Chrissy and John, 36, met on the set of a music video in 2006 and he revealed it was a great way to get to know each other.

'The shoot was pretty up close and personal, and I got to know her big personality – she's very fun, very clever, very gregarious,' John said.

'It's not the normal way to court someone, but hey, it worked.'

Chrissy takes a tumble: The model also posted an old shot of herself in the midst of falling while another child stood over her and watched, which she captioned: 'Damn this chick was a B. Thanks for the help NOT'

The little girl to the left of you with the long dark hair in a pink/red headband is cuter.

Nope, don't see it. She's not physically attractive, and her mind certainly does not make up for it. I've seen her in interviews, she's lacking on both grounds.

She was a cute kid for sure, but I don't think she's beautiful. She has a sexy look but really nothing special

You are wrong jazmin she is cute, attractive and charming that's why she is photograph every now & then. Although I get you jazmin is because you don't like her period. I don't like her either but I have to admit she is cute, etc.

It's true. I mentioned earlier, that the fact that you hear anything about her is because she's constantly posting pictures of herself. That's it!
