As hard as we find this to believe, which pop icon recently confessed she was the nerdy type during her days of highschool? Click below for answer...

Apparently before she was the Material Girl, Madonna she was the geeky girl. An alcohol free geeky girl. It's comforting to know that before her days as a wild child rolling around in wedding dresses, taking on cone bras as a hobby, inspiring the fashion trends of an entire decade, and endless trips touring the world all came from the pop icon's inner geek. She recently told RollingStone Magazine:

“I was a geek in high school. I didn’t really have a drink until I got divorced for the first time [from Sean Penn] when I was 30,” she admits. ” ‘Geek’ is not a word anyone uses to describe me, except perhaps [Confessions on a Dance Floor producer] Stuart Price, who once said, ‘You know, you’re a nerd at heart, nobody knows it.’ I took it as a compliment.” [RollingStone]
