Glee's Lea Michele: I'm proud I never had a nose job

Actress Lea Michele wants to set positive example for Glee fans

Lea Michele plays Rachel Berry in Glee

Glee star Lea Michele is glad she's never had any work done on her nose - because she's learned to love how she looks.

The actress admits she got a lot of flak when she was a teen because of her strong features. 

But Lea, 24, says as she's grown older she's come to appreciate her nose more. 

'I was one of the only girls in my high school that didn't get [a nose job],' she tells GQ. 'And if anybody needed it, I probably did.

'But my mum always told me, growing up, "Barbra Streisand didn't get a nose job. You're not getting a nose job." And I didn't. F*** those people.

'That's why I'm proud to be on a positive show and to be a voice for girls and say, "You don't need to look like everybody else. Love who you are."'

Glee airs on E4 in the UK.
