40+ Celebrities With Body Abnormalities You Probably Didn’t Know About
Celebrities have a wealth of tools at their disposal to persuade the public that they are faultless. To cover up any potential flaws, there are cosmetic surgery, glam squads, and Photoshop. But not every famous person has been successful in concealing their eccentricities. See the A-list celebrities whose charmingly odd body traits have been revealed, from having too many fingers to being born with a tail!
Britney Spears – Psoriasis
When Britney Spears is under stress, psoriasis around her foot tends to flare up. Psoriasis is a skin ailment that causes patches of skin to become dry and scaly as a result of immune system problems. Even when she is experiencing a psoriasis flare-up, Britney boldly wears open-toed shoes, showing that she is not interested in keeping her disease a secret from her followers. Britney has a cream to treat the rash, but she finds it uncomfortable and painful, so she forgoes using it and lets the public see the singer’s daily struggles.
Daryl Hannah – Missing Fingertip
When Daryl Hannah was a young child, she lost the tip of one of her fingers. Evidently, her grandmother’s mobility stair lift was involved in an accident. Daryl now seems to be more vocal about her missing fingertip, yet she still frequently conceals it.
Daryl Hannah – Missing Fingertip
In her films and on-screen appearances, the actress is frequently spotted donning a prosthesis. It’s unfortunate that Daryl feels the need to cover her finger on the red carpet, even if we can appreciate that she’s undoubtedly been ordered to wear the prosthetic during filming.
Damon Wayans – Clubbed Foot
One of Damon Wayans’ feet was twisted under and inward at birth due to a condition known as clubfoot. It’s crucial to correct clubbed feet in infants since they can make it difficult for them to stand and walk.
Damon Wayans – Clubbed Foot
Damon underwent corrective surgery, which he discusses publicly. The actor has even included his birth disability in his performances, particularly My Wife & Kids and Waynehead, demonstrating how unashamed he is of it.
David Bowie – Enlarged Pupil
Many people believed David Bowie had eyes of a different color. The vocalist actually had anisocoria or different-sized pupils. The cause of David’s anisocoria was not genetic. Instead, the origin of his unusual appearance was a childhood brawl.
David Bowie – Enlarged Pupil
Bowie’s pupil was permanently enlarged as a result of George Underwood’s old buddy striking him in the eye with a fingernail. Fortunately, everything has been set right, even though nothing has been forgotten. Of course, the girl they were fighting over has since faded from the musician’s memory.
Denzel Washington – Crooked Finger
Due to a childhood sports injury, Denzel Washington’s finger is a little crooked. He may effortlessly slip his finger in and out of its socket as a result.
Denzel Washington – Crooked Finger
The actor underwent surgery to maintain a semblance of finger straightness, although the deformity is still rather evident. It’s like a gummy bear in there, Denzel added jokingly, “I went up for a pass playing American football and dislocated it.”
Gary Burghoff – Deformed Hand
M*A*S*H viewers may have seen that the show consistently made an effort to conceal Radar O’Reilly’s left hand. This is due to the fact that the actor Gary Burghoff was born with brachydactyly, which finally led to the deformation of his hand.
Gary Burghoff – Deformed Hand
Unfortunately, Gary had to conceal his hand while working in Hollywood, especially during the filming of M*A*S*H because a person with that deformity wouldn’t have joined the military.
Gerard Butler – Mismatched Ears
Gerard Butler has a very slight physical flaw that he was unaware of for years. One ear sticks out further than the other due to surgery the actor had as a child. Gerard has never noticed a difference because he often wears his hair relatively long.
Gerard Butler – Mismatched Ears
He didn’t notice his ears don’t match until he shaved his head for the film Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life. Hollywood’s response was to tape one of his ears back, maintaining the heartthrob’s immaculate appearance.
Jeremy Renner – Clubbed Nails
Although having one or two clubbed fingers is pretty normal, Jeremy Renner’s hands are completely clubbed! Since the actor rarely discusses his illness publicly, many fans have assumed that his hands are artificially imitated for the sake of his Hawkeye character (they are not).
Jeremy Renner – Clubbed Nails
While some people think that Renner’s CGI arms in the movie Tag were an effort to disguise his clubbed fingernails, the truth is that they were used to conceal the fact that he had broken both of his arms while filming.
Kate Bosworth – Different Colored Eyes
There are two distinct colors in Kate Bosworth’s eyes. However, since the actress’s eyes typically appear to be the same color in movies, many seem perplexed when they see them in her social media images.
Kate Bosworth – Different Colored Eyes
This is due to the casting directors’ and agents’ insistence that Kate wears colored contacts to make her eyes match. On the red carpet, she does occasionally display her true eye hues. Given that less than 1% of people have heterochromia, Bosworth is undoubtedly exceptional in terms of appearance.
Jonah Hill – Scar
Jonah Hill has a noticeable scar on his arm, which he has said he doesn’t want to cover up because it serves as a reminder of a valuable lesson he learned. Jonah started behaving out when he was 15 years old as a reaction to his mother’s illness.
Jonah Hill – Scar
He snuck away and drove carelessly, which led to a collision. The actor wears his scar as a motivator to perform better, even though it must occasionally be covered in pictures. “I look at this scar every day. That reminds me to work hard.”
Lilly Allen – Third Nipple
Lilly Allen has never been secretive about having a third nipple. In fact, she once demonstrated it to her viewers on television! Evidently, Lilly’s left nipple is where this extra bodily part is located.
Lilly Allen – Third Nipple
The singer clarified when questioned if there might be a mole, “No, it’s a real thing. It actually gets erect when you stroke it. Yeah, and it actually lactates.” Okay, Lilly, we won’t ever question you or your nubbin once more!
Matthew Perry – Cut Off Fingertip
The following actor is Matthew Perry, whose on-screen alter ego is Chandler Bing, who likewise sports a nubbin! But the reason we’re here is to discuss the Friends episode when Bing loses a toe. It appears that in this instance, fiction and reality are rather similar. Due to an event, Matthew Perry is missing a portion of his finger.
Matthew Perry – Cut Off Fingertip
The actor revealed that when he was three years old, a door unintentionally slammed on his finger. It seems that after hearing the tale, the Friends writers decided to honor the character’s actor by giving Chandler a missing toe.
Megan Fox – Clubbed Thumb
Megan Fox has brachydactyly, sometimes known as clubbed thumbs. The actress’s thumbs are shorter and wider than they should be, but her other fingers seem normal. In commercials and up-close photos, Megan’s thumb is frequently Photoshopped out.
Megan Fox – Clubbed Thumb
She doesn’t bother trying to hide them, though, on red carpet occasions, and she shouldn’t. It’s important to note that Megan consistently ranks among the most beautiful ladies in Hollywood, thumbs and all!
Lebron James – Traveling Toes
Lebron James has put in so much practice that his toes have really moved to accommodate his passion for basketball. Although he has never acknowledged or denied it, being a professional athlete carries some risks, including the appearance of one’s foot.
Lebron James – Traveling Toes
Shaq and Michael Jordan are two other athletes with feet that are similarly malformed. In fact, after only one game, Michael Jordan would need to buy new sneakers because his feet would be so worn out.
Milo Ventimiglia – Crooked Mouth
Fans of This Is Us may have noticed that Milo Ventimiglia’s character Jack has a little off-center smile. The actor cannot conceal it, but it almost cost him his Hollywood career.
Milo Ventimiglia – Crooked Mouth
Milo would allegedly be required to talk with his mouth straightened by casting directors, but he was obviously unable to comply. Something tells us that Milo’s millions of admirers don’t mind too much about his crooked smile.
Padma Lakshmi – Scar
Despite her early attempts to hide her scars, Padma Lakshmi has come to accept them. The scar on her arm, which is the most apparent, was brought on by a vehicle accident when Padma was 14 years old.
Padma Lakshmi – Scar
Initially, the model would cover her arm when posing or conceal the scar with cosmetics. “Even if someone could wave a magic wand, I truly don’t think I would choose to delete my scar,” she says, “since I feel it’s a part of who I am now.”
Patricia Heaton – Missing Belly Button
Everybody Loves Raymond star Patricia Heaton has had the unusual experience of having her belly button vanish and return throughout the years. The actress stated that because of her several tummy tuck treatments, her belly and belly buttons are always shifting.
Patricia Heaton – Missing Belly Button
Patricia’s belly button was rebuilt by her most recent plastic surgeon during her most recent treatment, so she currently appears to have one. The future? This might be the one that sticks around forever!
Shawn Marion – Dislocated Finger
The pinky finger of Shawn Marion is severely dislocated. However, the basketball player hasn’t tried to cure it and he still competes on a professional level. Shawn mentioned that he frequently dislocates his finger when playing sports and that each time it simply isn’t worth mending.
Shawn Marion – Dislocated Finger
The athlete’s finger was hurt for the first time when he was just nine years old. Shawn’s pinky knuckle at this stage is permanently crooked and swollen. Fortunately, Shawn has been able to continue playing basketball despite the several wounds on his finger.
Seal – Facial Scars
When Seal was 23 years old, his facial scars started to become visible. It’s a frequent fallacy that the singer’s scars are a result of his lupus; in reality, they are a result of the medication he used to treat it. Fortunately, Seal is now in excellent health.
Seal – Facial Scars
His facial scars, though, are irreversible. But he doesn’t seem to mind! The performer said, “I believe that in all forms of art there has to have been some initial adversity — that is what makes art, as far as I’m concerned.”
Tia Jonsson – White Hair
The white streak in Tia Jonsson’s hair is actually her natural hair color, despite what many people believe. Tia suffers from vitiligo, an autoimmune condition that causes a person to lose color in their skin and hair.
Tia Jonsson – White Hair
Fortunately, Tia’s distinctive appearance has aided rather than hindered her modeling career. She might be able to attribute that to Winnie Harlow, who was likely the first to normalize vitiligo within the modeling profession.
Tina Fey – Scar
Tina Fey sustained a scar from a stranger’s weapon attack when she was just five years old. The actress said she “proceeded unconscious of it” and didn’t really start to pay attention to her appearance until she decided to pursue a comedic career.
Tina Fey – Scar
“I was a very confident little kid. It’s really almost like I’m kind of able to forget about it, until I was on-camera, and it became a thing of ‘Oh, I guess we should use this side’ or whatever.”
Jennifer Garner – Overlapping Toe
Brachymetatarsia, often known as an overlapping toe, affects Jennifer Garner. Jennifer, who is unconcerned and wears sandals, displays her distinctive pinky toe for all to see. Sadly, not all media sources can embrace a lady who doesn’t care to hide her shortcomings.
Jennifer Garner – Overlapping Toe
We’d like to remind everyone that it’s just a toe, despite some publications calling the actress’s toe “unsightly” and others “nasty”! If Jennifer Garner’s toe appearance has the power to destroy your day, then you obviously have more serious issues!
Max Scherzer – Different Colored Eyes
Max Scherzer has heterochromia iridis, also known as several eye colors, like many other well-known and adored celebrities. Mila Kunis, for instance, has slightly less visible different eye hues than Max, but the contrast is rather noticeable!
Max Scherzer – Different Colored Eyes
It would have been quite difficult for the baseball player to hide this distinctive characteristic. Fortunately, he hasn’t expressed any desire to conceal his eyes from the public and he instead takes pride in his distinctiveness!
Tom Hardy – Folded Finger
Though it was sort of a decision, Tom Hardy’s pinky finger is permanently crooked because it could either be bent or straightened. The actor suffered damage to the tendons in his finger as a result of an unfortunate kitchen knife incident.
Tom Hardy – Folded Finger
He has undergone a number of surgeries in an effort to correct his finger, but he is still unable to move it properly, and his pinky has been permanently straightened. Tom chose to undergo surgery that would permanently bend the finger so he could continue acting in fight scenes since he didn’t want to jeopardize his career.
Tyler Posey – Crooked Jaw
Although Tyler Posey can’t exactly conceal his misaligned jaw, he has opted to remain silent about it. Tyler may be seen in childhood photos with a straight jawline, proving that he was not born with this feature. He hasn’t yet disclosed what happened to alter his facial structure, though.
Tyler Posey – Crooked Jaw
The prevalent belief among fans is that Tyler was injured in a bike accident when he was young. Although we’re not exactly sure how the rumor got started, we suppose it’s just as plausible as any other.
George Takei – Deformed Foot
Tyler’s childhood bicycle accident is the prevalent theory among fans. Although we’re unsure of the exact origin of that rumor, we suppose it’s a plausible theory nonetheless.
George Takei – Deformed Foot
Unfortunately, the effects of the surgery did not last, and George’s foot returned to its prior condition. You should always break in new shoes before wearing them all day, people!
Gemma Arterton – Extra Fingers
Gemma Arterton, who has extra fingers, was born with polydactyly. She had an additional finger on each hand, giving her a total of 12 digits!
Gemma Arterton – Extra Fingers
The actress’s additional fingers were cut off when she was a newborn, but the scars from where the extra digits formerly protruded can still be seen on her hands, just next to her pinky fingers. Gemma adds that she had a “crumpled ear” from birth, which was also fixed through surgery.
DJ Paul – Mismatched Arms
DJ Paul’s right arm is frequently cast-wrapped, as his followers may have noticed. That’s because he was born with Erb’s palsy, a condition that causes muscle wasting and weakness.
DJ Paul – Mismatched Arms
DJ Paul’s right arm is considerably shorter than his left due to Erb’s palsy. While DJ Paul jokingly refers to it as his “baby arm,” he always wears a cast over it when in public.
Slick Woods – Gap Between Teeth
Braces are sometimes used to close up significant gaps between the front teeth. Others, like Slick Woods, land modeling jobs and end up representing well-known clothing companies. Slick is not only pleased with the profession her distinctive grin has given her, but she also advocates for other models with gap teeth.
Slick Woods – Gap Between Teeth
She specifically advocated on behalf of an America’s Next Top Model participant whose teeth Tyra Banks insisted needed to be changed. Slick begged to differ with her $1.5 million in wealth.
Cassandra Naud – Birthmark
Cassandra Naud asked her parents as a youngster to allow her to get rid of the hairy birthmark under her left eye, but doing so would have left a scar and perhaps caused her to develop a lazy eye. She is happy to have something to distinguish herself in Hollywood as an adult.
Cassandra Naud – Birthmark
Cassandra mentioned that some businesses won’t use her since it’s impossible to conceal her birthmark for movies. But as her resume demonstrates, there are many directors who would be delighted to work with the unusual actress.
Forest Whitaker – Lazy Eye
Ptosis, also known as a lazy eye, runs in Forest Whitaker’s family. Forest has stated he may get his eye repaired for the benefit of his vision even if he is not troubled by the appearance of his eye. Critics maintain that the actor’s eye gives him an “intriguing” and “contemplative” aspect, which has a bearing on his career.
Forest Whitaker – Lazy Eye
Forest’s distinctiveness is appreciated, which is wonderful, but it’s important to note that if he were a woman, the situation would be described in significantly less favorable terms.
Moffy Gathorne Hardy – Lazy Eye
Moffy Gathorne Hardy has distinguished herself in the modeling world by using her lazy eye. She acknowledged that she would have loved to be recognized for other facets of her persona and career.
Moffy Gathorne Hardy – Lazy Eye
She worded it so well, “I don’t mind talking about it, but I have begun to wonder what people without a lazy eye get asked in interviews…” Since her eye does, in fact, set her attractiveness apart from other models, Moffy has decided to postpone getting corrective surgery for the time being.
Joaquin Phoenix – Cleft Lip?
A cleft lip is said to be the cause of Joaquin Phoenix’s mark above his mouth. Some, however, assert that the actor merely bears a scar, perhaps the result of a mishap while production.
Joaquin Phoenix – Cleft Lip?
Others contend that the gash is a birthmark, though. The last hypothesis is most likely to be accurate, given the actor is said to have verified it in Vanity Fair, albeit they did not give a direct quotation.
Stephen Colbert – Lopsided Ear
Without Stephen Colbert and his crooked ear, Comedy Central would have looked quite different! The truth is that Stephen would never have pursued a career in Hollywood without this special flaw.
Stephen Colbert – Lopsided Ear
Stephen had intended to become a marine biologist, but he had to have ear surgery, and “now I can’t get my head wet. I mean, I can, but I can’t really scuba dive or anything like that.” We hope Stephen’s $110 million net worth lessens the damage, even though it doesn’t take the place of pursuing one’s aspirations.
John Stamos – Quirky Belly Button
John Stamos has a two-in-one belly button, whereas the majority of people only have an innie or an outie. Although the actor described his own belly button as “deformed,” there doesn’t appear to be a medical issue with it.
John Stamos – Quirky Belly Button
Let’s face it, most folks are content with the view when John removes his shirt. That won’t alter if your belly button is a little odd. In fact, there is so much interest in Stamos’ belly button, someone even created a Twitter account for it!
Oprah Winfrey – Extra Toe?
After her pinky toe, Oprah Winfrey seems to have an extra toe. The talk show host actually only has five toes on each foot, and that extra lump is a bunion. On the side of the feet, bunions are bony growths. Fortunately, cosmetic surgery can be used to get rid of these bumps.
Oprah Winfrey – Extra Toe?
Oprah doesn’t now appear motivated to get rid of her bunions, though. She’ll probably choose surgery ultimately because the issue is frequently uncomfortable. Oprah is currently ignoring her feet, though!
Drew Carey – Extra Toes
In his book, actor Drew Carey revealed that he was born with polydactyly or 11 toes. On his right foot, he had an additional toe that was surgically removed. It’s interesting that one of the most prevalent birth malformations is polydactyly, which affects the hands and feet.
Drew Carey – Extra Toes
It goes without saying that this abnormality would have been simple enough to conceal with the appropriate footwear, so why complicate matters? Instead, the host of The Price Is Right decided to lose his additional digit.
Harry Styles – Four Nipples
It could be helpful to keep in mind that Harry Styles has more nipples than any other celebrity if someone feels like there isn’t enough of him around. The performer’s body is covered in a whopping four nipples! It appears that polythelia is very widespread, and the majority of people are unaware when they have it.
Harry Styles – Four Nipples
No one usually gives the extra nipples much thought because they typically seem like little pink lumps that aren’t fully formed. Harry is obviously pleased to show off his extra nipples to everyone, though.
Kesha – Tail
Given her reputation for being very transparent about everything, it makes sense that the pop queen would tell everyone about her physical anomaly. It turns out that Kesha was born with a tail that was cut off when she was a baby.
Kesha – Tail
Her tail, according to the singer, was around one inch long. She regrets that the medical professionals “stole” her extra bodily part. “I’m really sad about that story,” Kesha confessed while talking about having her tail removed.
Sanaa Lathan – Clubbed Thumb
With a clubbed thumb of her own, Sanaa Lathan is another famous person who may join the brachydactyly club! Sanaa hasn’t yet shown a desire to cover her thumbs in films or on the red carpet, and Hollywood hasn’t pushed her to do so either.
Sanaa Lathan – Clubbed Thumb
But it’s important to note that she’s earning more and more starring roles these days as she gains fame. As a result, it’s probable that she will come under more pressure to be “perfect.”
Steven Tyler – Funky Feet
Over the years, Steven Tyler’s toes have altered, and the rock singer attributes this to his work. As a result of his signature athletic performance onstage, Steven stated that he intended to “to correct long-time foot injuries resulting from his trademark athletic performance onstage.”
Steven Tyler – Funky Feet
The Aerosmith singer frequently dons sandals and even dresses up his feet with some toenail polish, so he isn’t embarrassed by the way they look. Most likely, the purpose of his multiple operations is to lessen Morton’s neuroma pain rather than for aesthetic benefits.
Karolina Kurkova – No Belly Button
Karolina Kurkova, a Victoria’s Secret model, has a flawlessly flat tummy. In fact, it’s so flat that her belly button, one of the most essential body parts, is absent from it.
Karolina Kurkova – No Belly Button
Karolina’s lack of a belly button is obvious when she walks the runway, despite having a belly button Photoshopped onto her for Victoria’s Secret advertisements. The model’s missing body part was apparently removed during an operation she underwent as a newborn, most likely as a result of an umbilical hernia.
Andy Garcia – Conjoined Twin?
According to rumors, Andy Garcia was born with a conjoined twin on his shoulder that was about the size of a tennis ball. According to the legend, the twin was parasitic, so physicians removed it.
Andy Garcia – Conjoined Twin
Many people assert that Andy’s shoulder bears a noticeable scar from the removal of the twin, which explains why the actor rarely appears shirtless in his films. In spite of this incredibly persistent legend, Andy has never addressed the supposed twin, and there is no proof that it ever existed.
Ashton Kutcher – Webbed Toes
Ashton Kutcher has webbed toes, also known as syndactyly. The actor demonstrated his feet to the public on the program Friday Night With Jonathan Ross, proving that he isn’t allowing his feet to impair his self-esteem. Ashton explained, “I have connected toes… They’re slightly webbed. When everything else is this good-looking, something has got to be messed up!”
Ashton Kutcher – Webbed Toes
Despite the fact that his comment wasn’t exactly modest, we’re prepared to chalk this up to Ashton being cheeky and, presumably, not holding himself in such high regard.
Elizabeth Taylor – Extra Eyelashes
Elizabeth Taylor was regarded as a bombshell, a reputation that was accentuated by her alluring eyes. The actress’s eyelashes naturally appeared like false lashes, so she never needed to apply mascara or curl them. Due to a rare genetic condition called distichiasis, Elizabeth has two rows of eyelashes.
Elizabeth Taylor – Extra Eyelashes
While Taylor’s additional eyelashes helped her, it’s important to remember that they are not always benign conditions. Distichiasis sufferers can notice that their additional lashes are curling inward, which can harm their cornea.
