Most celebrities with physical deformities have no problem speaking about extra nipples, webbed feet and mismatched eyes. Here's RadarOnline.com’s guide to interesting body oddities.
Megan Fox
Megan Fox: The beautiful 'Transformers' star has admitted to having clubbed thumbs in a condition known as brachydactyly. Both of her thumbs are short and have a very wide nail, though they are perfectly functional. Fox doesn’t know how it happened but has her suspicions. The actress told Jay Leno on 'The Tonight Show' that her mom told her she ate tuna every day while pregnant. “I was wondering if that was what happened to my thumbs,” Fox laughed. “They’re weird and they’re very fat.”
Harry Styles
Harry Styles: In 2012, the One Direction singer revealed that he has four nipples on his chest! Styles doesn’t let the flaw bother him when he goes shirtless. “I don't look like a cow or anything,” he has laughed. “I must have been a twin, but the other one went away and left its nipples behind.”
Denzel Washington
Denzel Washington: The actor is known for his perfectly symmetrical face but his right pinky finger is badly crooked! As a child, Denzel broke the finger playing basketball and never had it set properly. The finger is bent at the bottom knuckle a full 45 degrees outward from his other fingers.
Lily Allen: The singer is always talking about her third nipple under her left breast. Allen showed it off on Dutch TV and admitted it even gets hard when you touch it!

Seal: Seal’s pronounced facial scars are the result of discoid lupus erythematosus, an autoimmune disease he suffered as a teen that attacks skin above the neck. The singer told Rolling Stone, “I got really depressed about the scars at first, as you can understand. Now I really like them. If I could design something, I don’t think I could do it better.”
Karolina Kurkova: In 2008, Kurkova shocked eyewitnesses by showing she had no belly button during a Victoria’s Secret fashion show. The missing navel resulted from the supermodel having “an operation when she was an infant,” her rep said; it’s been reported as an umbilical hernia. But Kurkova is otherwise perfect in every way and belly buttons are digitally added to photos in which she models lingerie and swimsuits.
Andy Garcia: The Ocean’s Eleven star was born with a conjoined twin attached to his shoulder. The golfball-sized mass was surgically removed when the future actor was a toddler and he’s said he has no memory of it.
Forest Whitaker: The Last King of Scotland Oscar winner told Esquire his lazy left eye is “a genetic thing. My dad had it and now I have it.” Although it impairs his vision and Whitaker has thought about having it corrected, he has said, “I don't really think about this eye, other than the times people talk about it, or when people take photographs of me sometimes they might say stuff about it. I don't think it makes me look bad or anything. It just is.”
Tilda Swinton: The actress known for her eccentric fashion style was born with a third nipple but looks at it as a mark of distinction. Swinton has said she is “proud” of her “witch’s mark.”
Vince Vaughn: The Delivery Man star lost the tip of his right thumb in a car accident when he was 17. Vaughn has joked that his thumb now looks like a penis with a fingernail.
Joaquin Phoenix: The actor who starred in Her was born with a mild form of cleft palate. The scar reportedly formed in utero.
Gerard Butler: The playboy actor has an errant ear! Butler has said one of his ears sticks out because of childhood surgery he had as a child to correct tinnitus. When he had to shave his head for Tomb Raider, Butler said the ear stuck out so much that makeup artists “literally had to glue it back.”
Jennifer Garner: When Garner wears flip-flops, she stuns onlookers with her overlapping pinky toe! The actress has brachymetatarsia, a condition in which one of the five long bones of the foot is shorter than the other, resulting in a shortened toe.
Dan Aykroyd: The actor has admitted “I’m an actual genetic mutant,” in a video he shot to demonstrate that the two sets of middle toes on both of his feet are webbed! “It’s much a part of me,” the comedian said.
Ashton Kutcher: The Two and Half Men star joins Dan Aykroyd in the webbed foot club. “I have connected toes,” he told the BBC about his left foot. Kutcher joked about how he’s perfect otherwise: “When everything else is this good looking something’s gotta be messed up!”
Mila Kunis: Ashton Kutcher’s fiancé has one green eye and one brown eye. In 2011, she told Cosmopolitan she had been blind in one eye for years due to chronic iritis, an inflammation of the iris. As a result of her condition, Kunis’ eyes also became different colors. She got surgery to correct her blindness.
Taye Diggs: The Baggage Claim star was born with an extra digit on each hand! That’s right—Diggs once had 12 fingers. Doctors removed the extra fingers “but I could have been really handy,” Taye joked to an interviewer.
Joanna Krupa: The Real Housewives of Miami star is in the triple nipple club! Although Krupa insists it “looks just like a mole,” her doctor informed the former model the extra bump was a third nipple.

Ke$ha: The singer has claimed she was born with a vestigial tail. She told the British magazine Heat about the defect: “I had a tail when I was born. It was a tiny tail, about a quarter of an inch. Then they chopped it off and stole my tail.”
Drew Carey: The comedian revealed in his autobiography, Dirty Jokes and Beer: Stories of the Unrefined, that he was born with six toes on his right foot.
Carrie Underwood: In 2004, Underwood revealed during her American Idol audition that she’d had a third nipple. But the future country star said it made her feel so self-conscious she’d had it removed. "It just looked like a mole," she told the Idol judges.
Stephen Colbert: As a child, the talk show host suffered a ruptured ear drum that left him deaf in his right ear. And now, Colbert enjoys showing off the deformity, rolling his ear down into itself and popping it back out. “This is just a prop,” he once told David Letterman of his deafness, flicking his bum ear. “It doesn’t work at all.”
Mark Wahlberg: The Lone Survivor star has an extra nipple and has said it’s “the size of an infant’s nipple.” The flaw is visible in Wahlberg’s 2007 film, Shooter. He told Rolling Stone, “I've come to embrace it. That thing's my prized possession."
Gemma Arterton: The beautiful Bond girl was born with an extra finger on each hand in a rare condition known as polydactyly that runs in her family. But the extra fingers were removed when she was born. The doctor who delivered her “tied off the extra fingers with sutures and they fell off, leaving just small scars,” Arterton has said.
Daryl Hannah: The Splash mermaid lost the tip of her index finger on her left hand in a childhood accident. At the age of three, Hannah got too close to a water-well pulley at her grandmother’s house. Hannah sometimes wears a prosthetic finger in her movies.
Padma Lakshmi: The Top Chef host survived a car crash at age 14—and has an ugly seven inch scar on her right arm to prove it! Even with the defect, Lakshmi went on to be a successful model and then a TV star and she has told an interviewer about the scar, “I love it because it makes me a person who has an interesting past, and it reminds me that I can survive any pain.”
Matthew Perry: The Friends star lost the tip of his right middle finger as a kid when it got stuck in a door.
Tina Fey: The famed funny lady didn’t speak about the scar on the left side of her face for years. In 2008, she finally revealed to Vanity Fair that a stranger approached her and violently cut her on her cheek when she was just five years old. After the attack, Fey went on with her life: “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.” Fey’s TV and movie scenes are often shot from the right side.
Kate Bosworth: The blonde actress has one dark brown eye and one light blue eye and usually wears contacts to hide her heterochromia on film. But director Bryan Singer let her mismatched eyes shine when she played Lois Lane in 2006's Superman Returns.
Patricia Heaton: The Middle mom is missing something in the middle — a belly button! Heaton has said the blank spot where her navel should be is the result of surgery to fix her belly following multiple c-sections. The mother of four said when she had a tummy tuck, her belly button disappeared.
