Twenty-four-year-old model Bella Hadid shot to fame as a teenager, and has said she was still "in the process of figuring out" who she was when the public first began learning about her.
Hadid admitted she felt like people saw her as a "sexbot" in the early days of her fame, and she therefore felt "enormous pressure" to keep that image up even though that wasn't who she was.
She said: "It's like there were two Bellas. "Me, this person in the process of figuring out who she was, and 'Bella Hadid' the alter ego, who was - I dunno - a sexbot who goes out every night?
"I have insane social anxiety. Partying is not my thing, but I felt enormous pressure to project that image because I assumed that's all people wanted from me."
Hadid no longer feels that pressure now that she's older, because she's able to show off her own personality without being forced into a "box".
