External defects and fame seem to be incompatible, with the possible exception of rare cases. But our selection says the opposite - sometimes some visible flaw, on the contrary, can become the "calling card" of an actor.
For example, the British actor Liam Neeson was engaged in boxing in his youth, because of which he broke his nose. This did not stop the actor from gaining world fame!
If others skillfully emphasize their flaws, turning them into a highlight, maybe we can do this too? Let's learn from celebrities to live by accepting and loving our appearance defects.
10. Britney Spears (psoriasis)
Psoriasis is a non-communicable disease that affects the skin. Reddish spots with white cups appear on the body. It is not transmitted in contact with a person, but is inherited.
Britney Spears has this disease. Sometimes the spots disappear, and sometimes the disease reminds of itself - the skin is covered with scales. Inflammation is exacerbated by skin injuries, stress, or excessive drinking or smoking.
The pop singer herself believes that her illness is associated with the difficult lifestyle that she leads.
9. Denzel Washington (protruding little finger)
Denzel Washington also has a flaw, but it did not stop him from being one of the best and most successful actors in Hollywood. Due to an old basketball injury, his little finger is protruded on his right hand at an angle of 45 °.
He did not go to the hospital on time, so now his little finger is protruding. It's hard not to notice, but the actor is so amazing that it doesn't matter.
Would anyone pay attention to his fingers if Denzel does an excellent job with his profession?
8. Joaquin Phoenix (cleft lip)
The cleft lip is a congenital defect in the facial section, with it the upper lip is divided into two parts. Joaquin Phoenix was born with this anomaly.
He has a scar over his lip, and some take him for a trace that remained after the operation to correct his defect, but this is not so. This scar is not from an operation, it is a cleft lip, that is, a hidden cleft, since the tissues have grown to the point that they could connect.
Despite this, Joaquin is one of the most successful actors in Hollywood, a three-time Oscar nominee, winner of the Golden Globes, etc.
7. Whoopi Goldberg (lack of eyebrows)
People, TV viewers, distinguished by their attentiveness, probably could notice that Whoopi Goldberg (real name Karin Elaine Johnson) is an American actress, she doesn’t have eyebrows.
How many rumors go around them! Some argue that she has a rare disease of trichotillomania (in which people tear their hair), however, the actress herself shaved it once, and when the eyebrows began to grow, they scratched and did not look very good.
Therefore Whoopi Goldberg shaves them to this day.
6. Daryl Hannah (missing phalanx of the index finger)
The American actress Daryl Hannah is missing the tip of her left index finger. She lost it in an accident that happened to her in childhood.
The girl was visiting her grandmother, playing, (as you know, children are curious) Daryl put her finger in the hole in the wall. Unfortunately, it was not possible to get a finger, and his tip had to be amputated.
Daryl Hannah very skillfully hides her flaw, so that you can’t even notice it - she wears a prosthesis.
5. Kate Hudson (protruding ears)
In her youth, actress Kate Hudson was very complex because of her large and protruding ears. She had to use ear correctors and wear lush hairstyles so as not to draw attention to her ears.
But only with age do we begin to accept ourselves and love. In youth, almost everyone practices self-flagellation and seeks for “flaws” in themselves. So Kate accepted her ears, as they are, only with time.
Now the actress not only does not hide her "flaw", but can easily show them by wearing a short haircut. You need to take an example from the stars!
4. Natalie Dormer (facial paralysis)
Charming British actress Natalie Dormer has facial paralysis (by the way, Dmitry Nagiyev has the same ailment, which has become his "calling card", probably everyone knows his "signature" squint).
She received him as a result of a birth injury, and hides him behind a "Hollywood" smile. We can say that Natalie’s paralysis is not so pronounced, her mouth is distorted only slightly. When the actress relaxes her face, pinching is visible at these moments.
But on the screen almost no one pays attention to the defect of the actress, because make-up artists successfully correct him.
3. Holly Berry (six toes)
The always slender and attractive actress Holly Beria has 6 toes on her leg. Such defects are easily eliminated in childhood (it happens in one of the 5,000 newborns, and the finger is removed immediately), but the actress's parents did not want to risk it and give the girl for surgery.
The actress is not at all embarrassed by her flaw, and can freely wear open shoes, even at a public event.
Many of her should learn to accept herself!
2. Paris Hilton (lazy eye syndrome)
The American actress, designer, heiress of the family business has the shocking Paris Hilton syndrome of “lazy eye” (in other words, amblyopia is a decrease in vision in which one eye is partially or completely not involved in the visual process).
If you look closely at the photographs of Paris, you can find that she always tries to turn her face to the camera on the right side. This is due to the fact that the left eye seems much smaller than the right, because its muscles are weak.
1. Forest Whitaker (congenital ptosis of the upper eyelid)
The well-known African-American actor Forest Whitaker “suffers” from congenital ptosis (with this disease, the upper or lower eyelid is omitted, this ailment occurs during fetal development of the embryo).
The problem can be solved with surgical intervention, but the actor is not in a hurry to change his appearance.
Due to a defect, the upper eyelid of Forest's left eye is almost always in an ajar state, this look is its “highlight”.
