Liz Hurley talks about being punk!

The British actress, who is currently starring in the latest series of Gossip Girl as a cougar, admitted to becoming a punk in the eighties to ward off men.


The 46-year-old claims she became rebellious in order to fit in with her schoolmates, who made fun of her for her 'posh accent'.

Spotlight moment: Liz, pictured in 1994, became more comfortable with the attention.


She told The Sun: 'I think what happened is that so many men took an interest, I wanted to make myself look as ghastly as possible.







 "I did not want them to whistle any more.

 



                                                ''That was part of my rebellion — and fitting in with the others."

                                                                 
She also recounts the highlight of her youth, spent in Basingstoke, was staying the night in a London train station.


She said: "We were terribly daring, having to miss the last train home so we could sleep at Waterloo station.



"It was the most exciting thing in the world — I can't think why.

"I am sure I became quite horrid to live with."


                                                    but Liz eventually moved to the capital, where she put her punk days behind her to get work.


She said: "I moved to London and stayed in a hideous bedsit in Finsbury Park.


"I did not know it was a dodgy area at the time. Besides, I probably looked so frightening myself, no one came near me.



"  I finally realised I was not going to get work unless I took out my nose ring and dyed my hair black.


"I'm afraid the nose ring actually went through my nose, much to every make-up artist's fury in the first few years.



Liz is not the shy and retiring type any more - and her punk days are certainly behind her.
