29+ Celebrities You Didn’t Know Had Deformities

Denzel Washington

Denzel Washington, the 62-year-old hard man and perennial heart throb, does not come without flaws. The two-time Academy Award winner's right hand has a damaged pinky finger from playing sports as a kid. Because of the severity of the injury, Washington decided to discuss his crooked finger openly. He did so on The Graham Norton Show in 2014. Washington told Norton…"I went up for a pass in American football and dislocated it." I had it reconstructed... But it's like a gummy bear inside there." The finger was never properly set and is still crooked, bent 45 degrees outwards from Washington's other fingers at the bottom knuckle. Denzel is fine with it now, and he refers to his crooked pinky as his 'magic finger.'Image Source / Eighties Kids

Harrison Ford

Did you know that when it comes to Hollywood heavyweights, Harrison Ford has a visible scar on his chin? If you need additional proof, just take a look at the image! You might not have noticed it in the midst of all of his crazy stunts in the Indiana Jones and Star Wars films, but it's there. This is how he did it…On the way to a department store, Ford’s came off the road. He collided head-on with a telephone pole while fiddling with his seatbelt. After the airbag failed to activate, his face smacked against the steering wheel. Thankfully, he can laugh now and blames the big scar on "inept emergency surgery." A vehicle accident, he continued, was "a rather boring method of obtaining" a scar!Image Source / TheList

Kate Middleton

The Duchess of Cambridge is used to looking her best as a member of the Royal family. However, Middleton inadvertently showed a scar to the world's media. Kate's left side of her head has an obvious scar, as you can see. The Duchess was initially hesitant to explain the scar, but after years of concealing it, Buckingham Palace addressed it in a statement."The scar is due to a childhood procedure," the Palace stated. According to senior royal insiders, the operation was serious but physicians have said that the operation was not dangerous and resembles a scar from a birthmark excision. In any event, Kate's signature is just another thing she shares with her husband, Prince William. On the left side of his forehead, Wills sports a visible 'Harry Potter' scar.Image Source / Glamour Magazine

Ed Sheeran

When it comes to royalty, Ed Sheeran can thank another member of the British Royal Family for his deformity. But who is to blame? Princess Beatrice, it turns out, was the one who gave him the scar! She was reportedly having a dinner party at the Royal Lodge in Windsor and had invited Ed, as well as a slew of other celebrities.James Blunt joked he wanted to be knighted after a few beers. Beatrice took up a ceremonial sword and pretended to knight the singer unaware that Sheeran was standing just behind her. Ouch! Ed may have been blinded, but he downplayed the event and even returned to the dinner after his face was stitched up at the hospital. That's all there is to it!Image Source / Daily Mail

Britney Spears

Britney Spears may have been the squeaky-clean pop queen of the 1990s and 2000s, but she has never been without flaws. Spears is claimed to have psoriasis, which affects 125 million individuals globally (about 2-3 percent of the population). Psoriasis is a skin ailment marked by scaly red spots that flare up when the person is under stress, as shown on Britney's ankles.It's logical that Spears would burst out now and then: as everyone knows, Spears has been under great strain for virtually her entire adult life, more than most celebrities. The scalp, knees, and elbows are the most usually afflicted areas, although the feet — where Britney has previously been impacted – can also be affected. Psoriasis has affected celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, LeAnn Rimes, and iconic folk musician Art Garfunkel.Image Source / Daily Mail

Tom Hardy

Tom Hardy's on-screen reputation for scary performances is well-deserved, but his off-screen reputation for intensity is also well-deserved. Hardy was a hellraiser when he was younger, having been jailed for joyriding and weapons possession as well as nearly losing his life to drug addiction. But his injury is not quite as exciting as it may seem…An incident with a chopping board and a kitchen knife resulted in Hardy injuring a tendon in his right hand's little finger. Hardy's finger was permanently bent after the incident, which required three procedures to allow him to create a fist. He also has a scar on his face from when he "successfully fell off a chair in a ballet class. Take note: dance can be dangerous, kids.Image Source / Eighties Kids

LeBron James

You wouldn't have seen the scars on the back of LeBron James' skull if he wasn't moving around so swiftly. What are those shapes on his right side of the skull? Because of LeBron's thinning hair, fans of the basketball star have just recently been aware of them. People, on the other hand, can't seem to agree on how he obtained the high grades in the first place.Some say they emerged when he stumbled and fell into a camera on the side of the court during a game. However, most people believe James' scars are the result of hair transplant surgery — the bottom scar, in particular, is said to be a textbook occurrence of a "strip scar" from a hair transplant process. So, what are our thoughts? Is it just a coincidence, or is LeBron concealing hair surgery?Image Source / Business Insider

David Bowie

It was a visible deformity that only contributed to David Bowie's otherworldly allure. From the age of 15, Bowie's right eye had a permanently dilated pupil. Bowie received a life-altering hit after a battle with his old school mate George Underwood (which began over a lady they both admired, naturally). What an injury to have and what a way to get it!David Bowie was hospitalised for four months when Underwood's fingernail cut his eye. Multiple procedures helped to restore some of the damage, but Bowie was still left with poor depth perception and the dilated pupil as you can see from the photo. Despite this, Bowie and Underwood remained friends, and Underwood went on to create Bowie's Hunky Dory and Ziggy Stardust album covers.Image Source / All About Eyes

Dan Aykroyd

Dan Aykroyd may enjoy ghost hunting, but he may not be so enthusiastic about the health of his feet. Why? Under his shoes, he has a very well-hidden abnormality... You wouldn't know it because Aykroyd rarely shows his feet on camera, but he suffers from syndactyly. Syndactyly, often known as webbed toes, is a condition characterised by the fusion of two or more digits.Syndactyly refers to Aykroyd's feet having two digits fused together on each foot. Humans have a one in 2,000 chance of being born with the disease. There is no known reason for this. Aykroyd isn't the only celebrity with the condition: actor Ashton Kutcher has a milder case of syndactyly in his own feet. As you can see, he’s been very open about his condition in the past!Image Source / WikiFeet Men

Harry Styles

Harry Styles, the most popular solo singer from the now-defunct One Direction, has his former colleagues in the nipple department beat. In that regard, the hunk outperforms even Lily Allen and Mark Wahlberg... Styles has two additional nipples instead of one. He verified it in an interview with Chelsea Handler, pointing to two little, black spots beneath his "normal" nipples.Yes, the musician has a good sense of humour about his situation. In 2013, Styles made a lighthearted attempt to explain away his polythelia — the medical word for having one or more additional nipples. "I believe I was a twin, but the other one disappeared and left its nipples behind." Styles, on the other hand, is cool with it: in a radio interview with Nick Grimshaw, he dubbed his additional nips his finest characteristic.Image Source / The Mirror

Jonah Hill

Jonah Hill is one of Hollywood's most prominent comedians, but there's one thing he never jokes about. If you look closely at Hill in films like Superbad and Maniac, you'll notice a distinct scar on his right arm. Hill's scar, which seems to be a serious burn from afar, is actually the product of a youthful misadventure when he was 15…Him and a pal decide to joyride around LA in an SUV. The automobile crashed as Hill put his arm out the window, dragging Hill's arm along the road and severely damaging it. Hill awoke to physicians debating whether or not to amputate his arm, but happily they opted to save it. He now refers to the scar as one of the most significant things in his life and a daily visual reminder to work hard.Image Source / Fact Republic

Joaquin Phoenix

You've certainly seen Joaquin Phoenix's scar before, but you're probably clueless as to how he acquired it. Thankfully, the actor has been fairly forthcoming about his distinguishing facial mark and its origins. This type of scar is normally the consequence of a cleft palate procedure, although Joaq's may be different. Phoenix claims that the scar on his lip is only a birthmark and not the result of surgery.Instead, Phoenix has stated in interviews that his mother had a great pain while carrying Joaquin during pregnancy, which was believed to be connected to her son's lip. According to Phoenix, the scar was there at birth. Tom Burke, Jason Robards, and Stacy Keach are among the other renowned actors who have a 'lip scar' as a result of cleft palate surgery.Image Source / Twitter

Tina Fey

Tina Fey's significant scar on her left cheek is the result of a horrific experience. The distinguishing mark is usually hidden by make-up, although photographers have occasionally caught a glimpse of it. Tina was allegedly attacked by a guy with a knife in the alley behind her house when she was a young child in kindergarten, slicing her in the face.Fey referenced the episode in her book Bossypants, although she didn't go into great depth about it (and we don't blame her!). Instead, she reflected on how the scar had made her into a local star: "My scar was a little type of celebrity. Many people wanted to claim that they were present when anything happened. I was present at the time. It was visible to me.” Fey seemed to have turned a potentially traumatic situation into something far more liberated!Image Source / BakLOL

Megan Fox

Megan Fox's thumbs are easy to overlook due to her near-perfect appearance – unless you're one of the individuals who is obsessed with them. Take a look at the photo below to see Megan's incredibly unusual deformity: Megan Fox is one of several celebrities with clubbed thumbs, also described as brachydactyly of the thumb in medical terms, a hereditary disorder.It causes one or both thumb nails to be clubbed, as well as a chubby and spherical thumb. People with clubbed thumbs often have a distal phalanx – or 'end bit' – that is two-thirds the size of a normal thumb. Fox’s thumb is another moniker for the ailment, which was invented by gypsy fortune tellers. Megan Fox's internet detractors, on the other hand, have dubbed the disease 'toe thumbs.'Image Source / NY Daily News

Jason Momoa

Jason Momoa, who plays Khal Drogo on Game of Thrones, is another superstar who has a horrific narrative behind his facial deformity. Momoa hasn't always been scarred. In 2008, he was having a drink at the Bird Cafe (a Hollywood bar) when a fellow punter became irate. One guy approached the actor and slashed him across the face with a shattered beer glass - yikes! Momoa was rushed to the hospital to have his wounds treated, and physicians did their utmost to avoid scarring.Finally, the actor underwent reconstructive surgery on his face, which included a total of 140 stitches. Momoa, on the other hand, has a prominent forehead scar as a result of the event. The scar doesn't appear to have dampened Momoa's spirits, as he credits his scar with converting him from a 'beautiful boy' to a more meaningful character actor. It undoubtedly aided his terrifying depiction of Dothraki warlord Khal Drogo!Image Source / Jason Momoa News

Daryl Hannah

"I had an injury when I was three years old that still impacts my mentality," Daryl Hannah told the Daily Mail in 2010. Hannah was a nipper at the time of the accident she was referring to, which happened at her grandmother's house in Chicago. The actress was apparently playing about on her grandmother's stairlift when it caught her index finger on her left hand.Yikes! It sounds like a painful experience.  Hannah's index finger was left missing two joints after the accident, but you'd never know it from watching her flicks. Hannah's missing half-digit has frequently been covered in films or even concealed by a prosthesis. In real life, though, the actress does not wish to disguise it. "It was terrible, but it could have been so much worse," she adds.Image Source / Stars With Weird Body Parts

Mary J Blige

Mary J. Blige is often trailed by paparazzi thanks to her nine Grammy honours and eight platinum records. Even her most ardent followers, though, may have missed the scar that runs down the left side of her face, right behind her eye. Others speculate that it has something to do with a horrific occurrence in Blige's upbringing that she refuses to talk about in public.Blige has never confirmed the rumours, although she has previously stated that she embraces the scar and her other 'deformities'. "If I don't embrace the scar on my face, the God-given lips, the enormous giant feet, the long legs, whatever it is that I'm deformed with, I had to appreciate it," the actress stated. "And then I started to like it." That's fantastic! Even if we'll never know precisely how she received the tattoo, her supporters may be certain that it hasn't harmed her self-esteem.Image Source / BakLOL

Jennifer Garner

Have you ever looked at Jennifer Garner's feet? Have you ever seen them up close like this? If you did, you'd see that the Alias star and former Batfleck wife's right foot had a 'floating toe.' Garner has a condition known as brachymetatarsia. Due to the way the finger hovers above the others, it is more generally referred to as a floating toe.Garner's twisted toe is most likely the consequence of a hereditary issue, albeit we don't know how he got it. Brachymetatarsia occurs most usually when one of the bones in the foot is abnormally short, causing the toes to overlap. Garner might take solace in the fact that the illness is most typically prevalent in women.Image Source / Pinterest

Kesha

When it comes to Kesha, the strange doesn't end with her allegations of having sex with a ghost. She does, after all, have her own celebrity deformity. Kesha (or Ke$ha, if you prefer) has also claimed that she was born with an extra limb. Kesha revealed to Heat magazine in 2013 that she was born with a tail."I had a teeny-tiny tail, perhaps a quarter-inch long. When I was a kid, they hacked off my tail and took it," the music star said. "That story makes me really sad." It turns out that it's not so unusual after all. Everyone develops a 'tail' while in the womb, a relic of our monkey ancestors. For the most part, this ultimately fades away. people in the womb, but some are still born with a vestigial tail, which are commonly removed.Image Source / The List

Matthew Perry

Even the cast members of Friends have their own peculiarities. Matthew Perry, alias Chandler, is the chosen one here. Take a close look at the illustration below. Have you noticed anything? No? Take a closer look at this… Matthew Perry is missing a portion of his little finger, which may be quite hard to see, especially if you’re watching old reruns of friends.When Perry was younger, he was involved in an accident. His grandfather unintentionally shut a car door on his hand. That must have been very painful I bet. He lost a portion of his finger as a result of the injury. Ironically, he loses a portion of his little finger when Monica accidentally puts a knife on it in Friends.Image Source / Life and Style Mag

George Takei

Mr Sulu's foot, unfortunately and courageously went where no foot had gone before......and it never came back. One foot is now permanently cramped, according to Star Trek actor and LGBT campaigner George Takei. And, according to the iconic science fiction actor, the blame lies with one well-intentioned but ultimately life-changing fan.Years ago, in the 1970s, Takei received a pair of running shoes from a fan, which he then used to complete a 10-kilometer run. Isn't that nothing out of the ordinary? Is it a kind gesture from one of his admirers? Takei's right foot "had the most awful cramp" after the run, and "all the muscle on my right side clenched up." Takei had surgery to repair the injury, but the foot reverted to its (now permanently) bent condition after a short time.Image Source / Howard Stern

Charlie Puth

As a singer-songwriter and aspiring YouTube celebrity, Charlie Puth has spent a lot of his brief life in front of the camera. Most people can't help but notice Puth's noticeable brow scar on his right side of his face. And the tale behind how he received the mark is, to say the least, gruesome. Puth was just 2 years old when he was assaulted by a dog.The incident was life-threatening, and Charlie almost died as a result of his injuries. Thankfully, surgeons were able to rescue him, although Puth is still scarred. He's also irritated by those who assume he only shaves his brow to 'look cool.' Some of his admirers are well-known to shave their eyebrows to try and mimic the star, but he’s not having any of it.Image Source / Heavy.com

Billy Corgan

Billy Corgan, one of the most well-known alternative music stars of the 1990s, may also be the most well-known individual with noticeable nevus flammeus. In layman's terms, this implies that the Smashing Pumpkins frontman's skin is unusually coloured with a vivid pink birthmark. The birthmark on Corgan's face is known as a firemark.It's caused by a condition known as a vascular abnormality. It's a skin condition that causes dilated capillaries. In the afflicted region, this causes a reddish to purple discoloration. The mark is usually referred to as a 'port-wine stain' because to its unusual colour. Mikhail Gorbachev (on his forehead) and Tina Turner (on her back, on her right shoulder) are two more well-known celebrities who have a firemark.Image Source / Pinterest

Michael Williams

Michael K Williams has been in a number of successful television shows, including The Wire and Boardwalk Empire. There's also no avoiding the big scar that runs down his forehead. It flies past his nose and lands on his right cheek. The actor was 25 years old when he received the scar. He tried to break up a brawl that started at a Queens, New York, home party."In Queens, there was a popping party," Williams adds. "I stepped outdoors for some fresh air and noticed that two of my other pals were surrounded by some strangers. The dude wiped his hand across his mouth and … smacked me,” he says. “What he did was he spit a razor. He was positioning the razor in his mouth to get it between his middle finger and ring finger. And then he swiped me down my face.”Image Source / Business Insider

Lily Allen

In 2007, Lily Allen, who isn't renowned for being the most restrained British star, did something crazy. In true Lily manner, she decided to flash the entire country — yes, you read it correctly. Check out Lily flashing below. The artist chose to lift her top and display a nipple live on British television.The artist has never shied away from revealing that she was born with a third nipple. On several occasions, Allen has pulled it out and flaunted it on television. You'd think that one would have been enough to get people's attention. Obviously not. Many people, according to studies, have more than two nipples. Most people mistake them for birthmarks.Image Source / Life and Style Mag

Mark Wahlberg

Lily Allen isn't the only famous person who was born with a third nipple. As you can see in the photo above, the former Marky Mark is a member of the exclusive trip-nip club, with Allen, Zac Efron, and Tilda Swinton. After eventually confirming the rumour, Wahlberg added, "It's actually the size of an infant's nipple, it didn't expand."On the beach, you can notice the difference in size between his 'main' nipple and the baby-sized one right below it. The nipple was always photoshopped out in Wahlberg's early days. Wahlberg answered no way when asked if he'd ever consider having it removed. Human third nipples are surprisingly frequent; one in every 18 persons is considered to have one.Image Source / Heat World

Karolína Kurková

Karolna Kurková, a Czech model and actress, is proof that you don't have to be perfect to make it in the modelling business. Kurková may work in the fashion industry, but she is far from faultless (just like the rest of us!). But why is that? Kurková, a former Victoria's Secret Angel and Vogue cover model, has also starred in films like as GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra.Despite all of this, Kurková has apparent physical flaws, in a very peculiar place. Kurková's belly button has a smooth depression where it should be, but no one knows why. Kurková may not have a belly button “as a result of the surgery needed to rectify stomach abnormalities at birth" according to the BBC.Image Source / Huff Post

Vincent Vaughn

Vince Vaughn may have been luckier than Daryl Hannah, but the consequence of his own weird digit was caused by an accident when he was younger. Vaughn was 17 years old when he was involved in an automobile accident, escaping with his life but not all of his bodily parts. The end of Vaughn's thumb was severed in the collision. The event wrecked the future comedian's dreams of becoming a professional athlete.Vaughn was an avid polo player at the time of the tragedy. Doctors recommended him to give it up after the life-changing accident. Vaughn, on the other hand, has welcomed the mishap with typical humour, referring to his disfigured thumb as a "penis with a fingernail." Vaughn was fortunate in that the accident turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Vaughn devoted more time to another of his loves, theatre, once he was no longer able to play polo. And, as they say, that was the end of it.Image Source / Eighties Kids

Michael Sheen

You've probably never seen Martin Sheen's deformity since it's so minor. This is despite the fact that the actor has been on our screens for over 50 years. "I've got this malformed left arm, three inches shorter than the right, and I can't do a thing with it," Sheen says.  Unfortunately, Sheen has been like this from the day he was born. And all of this happened 78 years ago.Sheen was delivered with forceps during a traumatic delivery, which shattered his left arm. This was a serious occurrence that would have a long-term impact on the actor's life. Sheen's arm had restricted lateral mobility as a result of the botched forceps, and by maturity, his left arm was three inches shorter than his right. What about Sheen's assertion that he "can't do anything with it"?Image Source / Eighties Kids

Halle Berry

Halle Berry, an Academy Award winner and annual top ten most beautiful lady, has long been reported to have a sixth toe. For years, photos of what seems to be an additional toe next to her pinky toe have been circulating on the Internet. Polydactyly refers to the presence of an additional toe or finger.This sort of aesthetic malformation is more frequent in African-Americans than in other ethnic groups, and it is typically inherited. The additional digit is normally made out of soft tissue with no joints, and it may be readily removed.Image Source / Pinterest
