Chances are you've seen Rashida Jones, who's perhaps best known for her roles as Karen in The Office and Ann Perkins in Parks and Recreation, pop up from time to time on the small and big screen. But while her professional life may be public knowledge, there's still a lot to discover about her personal life. Here's Rashida Jones' untold truth.

Before becoming the gorgeous star we know and love today, Rashida Jones had an awkward teenage phase just like the rest of us. In an interview with The Guardian, Jones explained that she was hardly the popular Regina George of her high school. Instead, she described herself as, quote, "a chubby nerd."

While Jones can laugh at her younger self now, at the time it led her to pursue interests other than popularity and socializing.

But these early hobbies helped her to become the successful, driven woman she is today.

Watch this video to learn the truth about the girl who plays Karen on the office.
