'How The Grinch Stole Christmas’' Cindy Lou Who Actress Talks How The Jim Carrey Movie Ended Up Being ‘Alienating’ For Her

If the name Taylor Momsen doesn’t ring a bell, then right off the bat, you’re obviously not a fan of the rock band The Pretty Reckless. However, there’s still a good chance you’ll recognize her as Cindy Lou Who from the 2000 film adaptation of Dr. Seuss’ "How The Grinch Stole Christmas." While the Jim Carrey-led movie arguably remains her best known film outing, it also unfortunately resulted in her having “alienating” experiences during her childhood.

Momsen, who also starred as Jenny Humphrey on the "Gossip Girl" cast, reflected on the unintended consequences of working on "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" while appearing on the Podcrushed podcast (via People). The ex-actress told host Penn Badgely, who starred with her on "Gossip Girl" as Jenny’s brother Dan, about she was bullied over her time as the Christmas movie’s secondary protagonist.
