Breast burden: Charlotte McKinney has revealed she was ferociously bullied about her famous curves and even struggled to find work because of them in a new interview with Ocean Drive

Not easy: The blonde told Ocean Drive magazine of how her shape has both helped and hindered her journey to stardom

On the eve of the two year anniversary since the model, and her bustline, burst onto the scene during the 2015 Super Bowl, the blonde has spoken of how her shape has both helped and hindered her journey to stardom.

Cover star: The model posed up for the February edition

Charlotte told the magazine: 'Obviously, I got more attention from the male side than from the female side. I didn't have any girlfriends. A lot of my friends were guys, and I was called a s**t by a lot of people.

'I was just growing these large breasts at such a young age, not really knowing what to do with them or how to wear them. So it was definitely awkward.'

The blonde beauty dropped out of school at 17 as she struggled academically and also socially as the target of mean girls.

'Girls would yell at me and call me a ''s**t.'' I would go to parties and get beer thrown on my head - there was so much bullying.

'It was just so awful, and that's why now I kind of use my platform to promote anti-bullying. I try to use what I went through to be a voice for it, because it's still happening and getting even worse now with social media.'

Charlotte said this coupled with severe dyslexia made school near impossible.

Getting it off her chest: The model said from 14 she had a large chest and 'was just growing these large breasts at such a young age, not really knowing what to do with them or how to wear them'. They quickly saw her become a target of bullying

'I was called a s**t by a lot of people': The 23-year-old said not only was she called names but she had beer thrown over her at a party

'I was failing. If I'd stayed in school, then I would still be in school now.

'My parents were freaking out - what parents want to hear their kid is dropping out of school and moving to Miami? But in the end they were helpful and were behind me. They knew I would be successful at whatever I wanted to do. So yes, I was a dropout.'

While she may have dropped out, the soon-to-be Baywatch babe always had a direction and that was modelling.

It took others especially big agencies, a little while longer to realize her potential.

Following her dreams: The bullying coupled with dyslexia saw the star drop out of high school and while she decided to pursue modelling, many tried to stop her saying her curves made her not right for the job

Breakout role: Using Instagram as a platform and staying determined, Charlotte eventually landed dream job at Guess and also the Carl's Jr. commercial which celebrated her natural chest and made her a household name

Charlotte headed to Miami: 'I just knew that from seeing photos and seeing girls, I had what it takes. I knew I could do it.

'I was a very determined kid, and not only in modeling; I wanted to break into the entertainment industry. Whether it was modeling or acting, I kind of fell in love with it.

'One day I went to every single modelling agency in Miami - Ford, Next. I went to small boutiques. And everyone was like, 'No, you are too short.' 'Your boobs are too big.' But I was like, 'Yeah, well, I photograph well.'

Beach babe: As the article came out, Charlotte was busy putting on a leggy display in Malibu, California, rocking some denim shorts with an oversized jacket and Adidas trainers

Not forever? The 23-year-old has considered getting a breast reduction and said she is not ruling it out down the track

All natural: The star told the magazine, 'I've been thinking about [a reduction]. They've definitely gotten smaller from my diet and over time. So I can see myself getting a reduction or a lift in the future'

'I was always battling with these agencies, and they were always like ''no, no, no.'' But it didn't stop me. I just kept doing photo shoots and meeting photographers and doing my thing. So I was building up a portfolio.'

Using Instagram as a platform and staying determined, Charlotte eventually landed dream job at Guess and also the Carl's Jr. commercial which celebrated her natural chest and saw her become a household name.

But while they have become her trademark, Charlotte said after a decade of being the girl with a big chest she may consider reducing her breasts.

Leggy perfection: The model turned actress simmered in a Marika Vera bodysuit and floral Fausto Puglisi thigh high boots

Cheeky surprise: While the one piece was a turtleneck it was far from conservative at the back

How high can she go: The black knit bodysuit sat high over the blonde beauty's shapely hips

'I've been thinking about [a reduction]. They've definitely gotten smaller from my diet and over time. So I can see myself getting a reduction or a lift in the future.'

Charlotte attributes her decision to give up eating sugar and packaged food along with red meat - that means no more burgers - to her shrinking chest.

Aside from the reduction when it comes to plastic surgery, the model says it is not for her.

Change of direction: Charlotte said she is also hoping to land more jobs that are less focused on her bust and even an 'ugly role'

'For me, I just don't see the point': Aside from the reduction when it comes to plastic surgery, the model says it is not for her

Beauty in imperfection: The model has thought about getting a nose job - and was teased about its shape - but fears it would change her look too much

'If that's what makes you feel better, then go for it. But for me, I just don't see the point.

'I've always said I want to get a nose job, but I think it just makes you lose your face... My nose - one side is really out and the other is really in.

'I've been made fun of for it. But if I changed it, I wouldn't look like me. That's a feature [that] makes my face and makes me who I am.'

Didn't quite make the cut: Charlotte wore lots of different ensembles for the shoot but not all made it into the magazine

She continued: 'Some things that aren't perfect on people are actually extremely gorgeous. I think we all have funny features that we don't like.'

Charlotte said she is also hoping to land more jobs that are less focused on her bust: 'I think that's what's coming in 2017 that I'm really excited about.

'I'm always going to be sexy, I'm always going to have those photo shoots, but I'm really looking for different roles that aren't so commercial and are a bit cooler.

And pose: The 23-year-old showed off her modelling skills in a behind-the-scenes video

New role: The blonde is currently starring in Mad Families opposite Charlie Sheen, who she described as 'so healthy and so vibrant'

'Maybe even an ugly role where I'm not such a glam person. I hope to be taken a bit more seriously.'

Charlotte will be on the big screen this May in the Baywatch reboot and is also in Mad Families opposite Charlie Sheen, who she described as 'so healthy and so vibrant'.

Baywatch is in theatres May 26 and also stars Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Zac Efron.
