Everybody is different but so is every body. These celebrities all have an unusual feature that is unique to them. Maybe it's a genetic mutation or a scar they got in childhood, but none of these conditions are ordinary. Did you know about these strange traits?
Denzel Washington
Denzel Washington has a pretty weird pinky finger thanks to a childhood basketball accident. The actor was playing one day when a lunge for the ball resulted in falling onto his hand in an uncomfortable position. He never went to a doctor to have it checked out, and as a result, the injury never healed correctly. Now his finger looks like it's always broken!
Angelina Jolie
According to Angelina, her knees have always been a huge issue for her. She says that she's always thought of her knees as strange-looking and knobby. While this assessment isn't exactly a medical diagnosis, it's hard to say she's not onto something here. Since this premiere of Kung Fu Panda 3, she's come to terms with her wonky lower leg...
Kate Bosworth
A lot of people claim that their eyes change color, but Kate Bosworth's eyes are actually always two unique colors. Kate has a condition known as heterochromia, which results in the lower portion of her left eye showing up as brown instead of blue. It's a genetic mutation that's totally harmless, which means she feels no pain but looks very cool...
Harry Styles
The king of pop stardom has a secret...or actually two secrets. Harry Styles has two extra nipples! On his chest, you can clearly see that there are two additional ones. The One Direction singer is not shy about his unusual traits, once saying in an interview "I think I must have been a twin, but then the other one went away and left its nipples behind. I feel so free. I think you could safely say I’m not shy."
Seal
Aside from his wonderful voice, Seal is recognizable by his facial scars. For a long time, fans wondered what caused them, and seal never let on what it might be...until one day. They're a result of a disorder called Discoid Lupus Erythematosus (or "butterfly rash), an autoimmune disease that shows up in the skin, specifically on the nose and cheeks.
Stephen Colbert
Stephen Colbert is one of the funniest late-night hosts on TV, so while laughing, you might have missed his little known body feature. He has a protruding ear as a result of a botched surgery. See, he's deaf in his right ear. The surgery was supposed to help regain that sense, but instead, the doctors forever damaged the inner eardrum...
Gaten Matarazzo
There's nothing strange about this Stranger Things actor. The young Broadway actor was born with a disease known as cleidocranial dysostosis, also known as CCD. He is very open about his condition, even documenting one of his 14 surgeries to remove additional teeth. He uses dentures to help with the issue. His character on the show was given the same disorder.
Megan Fox
Megan Fox might be known as one of the hottest celebs alive, but she has her own strange traits like everyone else. Megan has had clubbed thumbs for her entire life, but magazine shoots tend to photoshop it out or ask her to position it differently. The condition is called brachydactyly. Nevertheless, she still looks drop-dead gorgeous...
Vince Vaughn
Short thumbs seem to be the new trend among celebrities. Vince Vaughn was in a car accident at age 17 that cut off the tip of his thumb. Though some people might be self-conscious about the stubby appendage, Vince loves his strange trait. He says it just kind of works for him. Loving his weird finger is the Vince Vaughn way!
Karolina Kurkova
This Victoria's Secret model might not raise any red flags when you first see her but look a little closer and you'll realize that she doesn't have a belly button! This happened as a result of a surgery she had as a child. Though she never stated specifically what operation, BBC speculates it was the "result of the surgery needed to correct abdominal problems at birth."
Steven Tyler
This singer has made an entire career out of being a little different, but just wait until you get a look at his feet! The Aerosmith star suffers from a painful foot condition known as Morton’s Neuroma. A nerve between the toes is injured and results in a thickening of the area, which hurts quite a lot. It got so bad that his toes began to get deformed permanently...
Jennifer Garner
Unknown to most people, Jennifer Garner has a condition known as brachymetatarsia. What this means is that basically, her pinky toe will always overlap with the others. The bone is slightly shorter, causing the overlap. She says that while the brachymetatarsia doesn't hurt at all, it is easy to forget you have a pinky toe there...
Kesha
Pop superstar Kesha has become famous for her super catchy songs, but did you know there was more to her behind the scenes? Apparently, the singer was born with a tail! She said it was about a quarter of an inch and was removed at her birth. "They chopped it off and stole my tail," Kesha told Heat Magazine. Some tails are not happy tales...
Lily Allen
Lily Allen made headlines in the UK for her edgy pop songs, but she has another reason to be breaking news. The singer is another celeb who has an extra nipple! Unlike Harry Styles, Allen is a little more embarrassed about her unique trait, only showing it off early in her career. Although it looks like a tiny birthmark on her rib, rest assured it's not...
Gemma Arterton
This Bond girl is known for her good look and acting chops, but she's also an actress with an extra finger. The actress was born with an extra finger on each of her hands. Thankfully, doctors were able to figure out how to remove them safely, but if you look closely at her hands, you can see a small bump where an extra appendage once was...
Ashton Kutcher
No, you're not being Punk'd, Ashton Kutcher really does have a strange body feature. The model turned actor might have great looks, but his feet might remind you of a duck. Ashton was born with webbed toes, meaning that the skin between them never split all the way. He said he never even knew it was weird until he noticed a friend wearing flip flops...
Gerard Butler
Gerard Butler has a very specific, and kind of unnoticeable, body feature. His left ear protrudes farther from his head than his right ear. Even Gerard didn't know about it, once commenting "I didn’t realize it until I had to shave my head for that [Tomb Raider] movie. Everyone went, ‘Holy f--, one ear sticks out way more than the other one!'”
Matthew Perry
Matthew Perry made his fame as Chandler on Friends, but not even the biggest fan knew that he had a short middle finger. When he was a little kid, his finger was slammed in a door. It resulted in the loss of a section of bone and caused his finger to be smaller in size than the rest of his hand. See if you can spot it on your next Netflix binge.
David Bowie
David Bowie was quite a cheeky little kid. One of his mischievous days came at the cost of a lifelong scar. He had gotten into a fight when he was in his youth that resulted in a punch to the face. One of his pupils has been permanently dilated ever since. Despite the odd encounter and even odder outcome, the injury has never affected his vision.
Oprah
The Queen of Daytime TV might have had her face in front of the lens, but not often her bare feet. Oprah Winfrey has long been rumored to have been born with six toes, but such is not the case. She just has a recurring case of bunions. She's stated that her feet are often in pain and she's pretty much stopped wearing high heels as a result.
Taye Diggs
"As a child, I had an extra digit on each hand," revealed actor Taye Diggs in an interview. Although they were removed when he was a child, the scars are still on his hands to prove his former status as 12-fingered-man. He has said that he's grateful for the ability to remove them, but maybe he could have been handier with the extra fingers!
Joaquin Phoenix
If you look closely at the Joker's smile, you might notice a little scarring. While that's part of the character, it's also part of Phoenix's real life. The star was born with a cleft lip that was fixed in surgery as a child. The condition just causes a slight lift in the lips and is incredibly common. About 1 in every 700 babies is born with the issue...
Tina Fey
Whether you know her from Saturday Night Live or 30 Rock, Tina Fey is a household name. However, most of her programs cover up one of her quirky features: a tiny scar on the side of her mouth. The story is pretty gruesome. She was attacked by a stranger in an alley behind her house when she was only a child. For that reason, she doesn't love talking about it...
Jonah Hill
Jonah Hill has been in the limelight since he was a teenager, but have you ever noticed the scarring on his arm? Once his mom began her battle with cancer, Jonah began lashing out in his own life. His chaotic streak ended when he got badly hurt in a car accident, but it inspired him to get his act together. "I look at this scar every day," he said, "That reminds me to work hard.”
Gigi Hadid
Although it doesn't seem like Gigi could have anything wrong with her, the supermodel revealed that she has tons of natural moles all over her body. While this may not seem too odd, the attributes are very against the industry standard for models. When she got older, the moles multiplied, but she learned to love her bumps instead of hiding them...
Cassandra Naud
Can you spot this dancer's unusual trait? Her distinct facial birthmark under her left eye made her feel weird and unlikable as a young woman in the limelight, but as she got older, she realized how cool it was to have something so different. She used to beg for a surgery to remove it, but once it was deemed too risky to complete, she was forced to embrace it.
Mark Wahlberg
Add Mark Wahlberg to the ever-growing list of celebrities with extra nipples. Mark has described his extra part as very tiny, even going so far as to say it is "the size of an infant’s nipple." He doesn't show it off often, but if you catch him catching rays or sweating in the sun, rest assured you can see it right on his abs.
Elizabeth Berkley
Another star, Elizabeth Berkley, was born with Heterochromia. Heterochromia is the aforementioned condition that results in multicolored eyes. As you can see, she has one eye that is totally green, while her other eye is split between being green and brown. She's extra rare as well because a very small portion of the population has green eyes!
Daryl Hannah
Daryl Hannah might be giving the peace sign, but losing half of her finger certainly was not very peaceful. When she was little, her finger got stuck in a well-pulley while at her grandma's house. The outcome of this was more gruesome than anyone expected, and she lost half of her index finger. She wears a fake finger when filming...
Carrie Underwood
Carrie Underwood is one of many other celebrities who was born with an additional nipple on her body. The condition, also sometimes called Polymastia or Polythelia, is not painful. It's just odd! "It looked like a mole," said the singer in an interview, "But it was a third nipple!" The more the merrier...
Tom Hardy
Take a peek at this Peaky Blinders actor! His pinky is permanently curled, but why? Well, according to Hardy, it happened after a kitchen accident went from bad to worse. A slip of a knife caused him to permanently injure his finger's tendon. Now, it's always stuck in a curled position. Maybe they should consider renaming his show to Pinky Blinders...
Tyler Posey
It might seem like nothing is wrong with this heartthrob, but notice his jaw is a little off-center. It became asymmetrical as a result of some issues with his teeth. As he got older, the contrast got easier to see. He has a slight overbite but has learned to live with his feature. Though he could fix the problem, he feels pretty at ease with his face...
Mekhi Alante Lucky
This guy isn't just good looks, he's taking eye candy to a whole new level! The 23-year-old works as a supermodel and his cool eyes definitely give him an added edge. "People stare at me all the time," he said in an interview. Heterochromia seems to be fairly frequent among celebs, but none are quite as contrasted as Lucky's...
Forest Whitaker
Look at Forest's eyes, do you notice anything unusual? You might be able to tell that the actor has a slight droop over his left eye. This is due to Ptosis, a condition that causes just that. Nothing more, but it is strange to see. However, critics have said that it lends to his performance, makes him more believable, and helps his works tremendously...
Zac Efron
Surprise, surprise, another actor with an extra nipple. Unlike the other celebrities with the Triple Nipple curse, Zac Efron didn't embrace his unusual attribute. instead, the heartthrob actor opted to get the nipple removed permanently. As a star with his shirt often off, he felt that it was distracting to his image. Whatever makes you happy, Zac!
Max Scherzer
This guy's eyes are quite the home run, and he's another star with an eye of gold. Complete Heterochromia affects this athlete, making one eye fully blue and another fully brown. It must be hard to keep your eye on the ball when you've got your eyes on this guy's insane glare!
Jane Seymour
Like some other famous faces on this list, Jane Seymour was born with different eye colors. On one side, she sports a beautiful blue eye and on the other is a deep brown. The name of this dual color combination is Complete Heterochromia. She says that she used to be ashamed of her unusual eyes, but now she totally embraces her unique feature!
Natalie Portman
You may be wondering what could possibly be wrong with the lovely actress Natalie Portman, but she's pretty self-conscious about a mole on the left side of her face. She said that the mole is often airbrushed out of photos and movies, which made her feel ashamed about it. "No one ever said anything to my face, but I felt like I was being told it was ugly. Finally, I had to say, ‘No, this is part of me," she said.
Andy Garcia
Hollywood actor Andy Garcia has maybe the most unusual trait on this list, but you would never know it by looking at him. The star was actually born with an undeveloped conjoined twin that was joined to his shoulder. This condition is known as Heteropagus twinning, which basically boils down to the body consuming the other body in the womb. Gross...
John Stamos
John Stamos might have been the heartthrob of Full House, but there was a hidden secret just below the surface...his outie belly button! While most people have an inner one, or even grow into one, John Stamos is a little different than all the others. It's due to the Umbilical Hernia he had while he was a newborn infant and it's relatively common...
Slick Woods
Slick Woods, also known as Simone Thompson, has a big gap between her teeth. This gap is actually caused by something called Diastema. She says that she was a little uncomfortable in her appearance as a youngster, she has fully embraced her unusual look as part of her eclectic charm. It's been a huge help in her modeling career...
Mila Kunis
Mila Kunis is one of the many stars who have different colored eyes, but her case is a little unique in that she wasn't born with the condition. It's actually from a surgery. "I was blind in one eye for many years, and nobody knew. I’m not blind anymore. I had surgery a couple of months ago. They cut it open and dropped a new lens in there," she revealed.
Moffy Gathorne-Hardy
Moffy Gathorne-Hardy is a supermodel who has worked with the likes of Kate Moss and Cara Delivigne. Moffy suffers from something called strabismus, which might be better known as being cross-eyed. She doesn't let it keep her down though. She once said, "I think that the term ‘strabismus’ is too scientific and makes it sound as if I have a condition that affects other aspects of my life."
Padma Lakshmi
Padma Lakshmi is best known for hosting the cooking show Top Chef, but did you know she has a scar on her arm? The scar is seven inches long and is a result of a terrible car accident that she survived. "After being a mother, after living life, after being a model for so many years," she says, "I’m proud of my scars because they mean that I’ve had a life… an interesting one."
Tilda Swinton
Mark off your bingo cards, this is another actor who was born with an additional nipple. Although Tilda was born with this little hidden trait, she often refers to it as her "witch's mark". The Scottish actress is very proud of her mark and said that as a child, she used it to scare her brother and his friends. Now that is witchy!
Jessica Cauffiel
Jessica Cauffiel played Margot in Legally Blonde back in 2001, but you probably didn't notice that she is another actress with Heterochromia! She has a slight brown patch in one of her otherwise green eyes. Her type of condition is likely genetic and has no effect on her vision. Her eyesight is the same, but the sight of her eyes is crazy!
Lebron James
The fact that this man is 6'8.5" is a physical anomaly in itself, but he's also got some pretty weird toes. He's never commented on the condition of his feet, so this could either be a genetic condition or the result of some tight basketball shoes. Either way, it doesn't seem to be something he's super comfortable with, so best to keep it out of interviews...
Patricia Heaton
You might remember her as Frankie from Everybody Loves Raymond, but you likely haven't seen her strange stomach. Notice her total lack of a belly button? After her fourth child, the actress had a tummy tuck that took off her excess skin, and the naval went with it. After four C-section surgeries to have four beautiful children, it was a small price to pay...
Damon Wayans
Damon Wayans is a stand-up comedian, but his cleft foot is no joke. He actually says the foto helped him get more attention as a child though! “I was born with a clubbed foot,” said the professional jokester, “So I got a lot of love and affection from my mother. She actually put more time and energy into me because, you know, guilt." Whatever works!
Winnie Harlow
No that's not makeup or photo editing. Supermodel Winnie Harlow was born with a condition known as Vitiligo, which results in contrasting skin tones. The disease is rare, and started when she was 4. "My immune system feels that my melanin (what makes color in your skin), is a disease," she elaborated, "like the common cold. So, it fights it off."
Sanaa Lathan
Sanaa, like many actors, was born with a clubbed thumb. It is also called the scientific name, Brachydactyly. It causes her thumbs to be a bit shorter and her nails to be flat and wide. It doesn't seem to matter much to her though, and she still looks gorgeous. She gets a big thumbs up!
Elizabeth Taylor
Elizabeth Taylor was a world-renowned beauty, and one reason for that was her lash condition. She was born with Distichiasis, a genetic condition that produces an extra row of eyelashes on the lid, making her appear always to be wearing mascara. The lashes didn't cause any harm to her eye or vision, so it was really kind of a gift!
La Östergren
La Östergren is a bodybuilder known for her special body feature: insanely long legs. The athlete is only 5'8", but her legs are about 3’5″ of that length. She struggled with her height for a while before realizing how many people would love to have very long legs. Now, it's something that she takes a lot of pride in. Work it, girl!
Shawn Marion
This one wasn't genetic, but it wasn't the result of an accident either. Shawn had repeatedly broken his finger as a little kid. Eventually, over long periods of breaking and healing, the finger became permanently stunted and always sits in an awkward way now. He calls it his "lucky finger", maybe because of how lucky he is to still have it attached!
Victoria Justice
Victoria Justice rose to fame as Lola on Nickelodeon's Zoey 101, and both her and her character share the trait of having a weirdly long tongue. She says that she didn't even realize it was unusual until she stuck out her tongue when being hounded by paparazzi and saw the remark in the tabloids the next day.
Tia Jonsson
This blue-eyed blondie has a case of vitiligo that many others wish they could sport. Her version starts at the hairline, and as a result, she has two pieces of white hair lining her face. The model recalls "I remember pulling all my hair back with butterfly clips when I was little and feeling really brave." It has contributed tremendously to her cool-girl image...
Dominika Marková
Dominika Marková was Miss Slovakia back in 2015, but she is best remembered for her striking (and kind of spooky) eyes. This is a trait that her whole family shares! She says that the eyes come from her dad's side of the family, and are technically just a very, very light shade of blue. Sure Dominika, or they're just ghostly white!
Eva Mendes
If you thought Eva Mendes didn't have any insecurities, think again. The actress/model has a mole on her cheek that she's been embarrassed by since she was a child. She says it was often the sticking point for bullies, recalling "In junior high, the other kids would say, ‘You’ve got some chocolate on your face,’ and I fell for it every time..."
Evita Delmundo
Evita Delmundo is a model hailing from Malaysia who also is covered head to toe in moles. "In primary school, no one wanted to be friends with me. It broke my heart. I was a lonely girl," she said. She thought about having them removed as a child, but she chose to learn to love the skin she was in. The skin marks made her a striking beauty...
Anastasiya Scheglova
Model Anastasiya Scheglova has green eyes. That might not seem like a strange feature, but in actuality, there are very few people who can boast this color. About 2% of the world population is born with green eyes, so when someone has it, it can be a pretty big deal. She says it helps in getting her some tougher modeling gigs...
