Thurman - Surprised by 'sex symbol' status

Uma Thurman finds it difficult to believe that she is hailed as a Hollywood 'sex symbol' because she believes she was ugly as a child.

The 'Kill Bill' beauty insists she was an ugly duckling growing up, claiming her features were so strange it looked as if they were "taped to the side" of her head.

According to Contactmusic.com she said: "I had baby fat and a big nose, big lips and big eyes that looked like they were taped to the side of my head."

She added: "I was tall, really young and I had a funny name. I had not grown into my features. I was just trying to make it from history to English class and still feel good."

Talking about her career she said: "I didn't feel doors were going to fly open for me for being cute, so I worked hard at everything."
