10. Megan Fox's Short Thumbs

Megan Fox was born with a condition known as 'brachydactyly,' which causes her thumbs to be slightly clubbed or misshapen. Both thumbs are short and have wide nails, but they function just fine. This condition is typically inherited, though it can also result from a childhood injury.

9. Lily Allen's Extra Nipple

Lily Allen is no stranger to being bold, and she is refreshingly open about her additional nipple.

8. Rivers Cuomo's Uneven Legs

Weezer's lead singer, Rivers Cuomo, was born with a slight difference in the length of his legs, one nearly two inches shorter than the other. As an adult, he underwent an intense procedure to correct the discrepancy, involving the surgical breaking of his leg, followed by a long recovery that required wearing a brace and performing daily stretching exercises. This challenging journey inspired Cuomo to compose the song "The Good Life," and the album cover of Pinkerton featured an x-ray of his fractured leg.

7. Andy Garcia's Conjoined Twin

Andy Garcia was born with a conjoined twin attached to his shoulder. The twin was surgically removed when Garcia was still a young child, too small to have any memory of the traumatic event.

2. Jennifer Garner’s Overlapping Pinky Toe

1. Gerard Butler’s Deformed Ear

Gerard Butler, the dashing Scottish actor, was taken aback when he had to shave his head for a role in a movie, only to realize that one of his ears protrudes more than the other due to a childhood ear surgery. He also shared that he’s deaf in his right ear, a result of the tinnitus that has troubled him since his younger years. Laughing at the situation, Butler amusingly notes that costume designers on movie sets now need to glue one of his ears back in place.
