Carmen Electra: I used to beat up boys

Baywatch babe used martial arts on blokes she fancied

Carmen Electra didn't leave love letters in the lockers of classmates she had the hots for – she attacked them instead.

‘At school I beat up boys I fancied,’ says the 34-year-old. 'My mum had a third-degree black belt in ju-jitsu and one of my brothers was really good at karate.

‘There were lots of guys who got on the wrong side of me because I had a crush on them, but it was easier to beat them up than tell them.’

Carmen – who shot to fame as Baywatch lifeguard Lani McKenzie – reckons she can still take care of herself.

‘My finishing move was to throw them over my shoulder and I can still do that today,’ she tells Night & Day magazine.

Wonder if she ever tried tackling The Hoff…
