And apparently, she grew up feeling like the “ugly duckling” among her siblings.
“I was performative in my family because I was the ugly duckling. Documentation is available if you need it,” she explained in an interview by Today back in March. “My three sisters look alike. They are all blonde. I knew I wasn’t the pretty one and I was like, ‘OK, I’m not the pretty one so I’m going to be the funny one. I’m going to be the smart one.’”
