Appearance is a very individual thing, which depends more on genetics than on our desires. If a person is born beautiful, we say that he “won the genetic lottery.” When a child grows up with developmental anomalies, people around him sigh – well, nothing special, but at least he’s smart.
But life sometimes throws up surprises and people with rare deviations become real stars, attracting popularity and big money like a magnet. Look at these 11 celebrities with amazing genetic features – are they real?
Megan Fox
This Hollywood beauty has such an alluring and exciting look of blue eyes that even the most biased doctor will not be able to suspect her of developmental anomalies. However, the actress has brachydactyly – a rare genetic deviation in which the thumbs on the hands remain underdeveloped even in adulthood. However, from the outside it is completely unnoticeable. The “defect” is given away by too short, flat nails that look like a child’s.
However, the actress is not at all concerned about this circumstance, and there is no reason to worry – this anomaly does not affect mental abilities and intelligence. Perhaps it can be inherited, but for this case the actress has a solution – with her fees, there is no problem getting a consultation from the best geneticists to give birth to a healthy baby.
Connie Chu
This Chinese woman seems to be from another planet, her appearance is so unusual. The girl has albinism, in which the skin, hair and eyes are very light, almost devoid of coloring pigments. Connie is a famous model in the East with huge fees.
Jennifer Garner
Another American actress Jennifer Garner has the same diagnosis as Fox. But in her situation, the problem arose with her toes. They have grown so much that they overlap and cling to each other. That is why the actress often wears closed-toe shoes.
But this defect also doesn’t bother her much; she hasn’t had any plastic surgery to correct her “nuance.”
Oprah Winfrey and Halle Berry
These two dark-skinned stars were born with the same problem – six toes. Oprah recalls how, in addition to the terrible violence, she was teased by her family and peers at school for having six toes. When she grew up and learned that this anomaly is quite common, she stopped worrying.
By the way, 1 child out of 5,000 healthy peers is born with such polydactyly in any country in the world. The anomaly does not affect mental development, which Oprah Winfrey proved by her own example, becoming one of the richest and most successful women in America.
And Halle Berry doesn’t think about the problem at all and calmly flaunts everywhere in the most open sandals and sandals. As a child, she was not teased, but accepted as she is, so even as an adult, the actress understands that this is just an individual feature, like eye color.
Tilda Swinton
This actress is one of those who do not need to prove their abilities and talent to the public. Nature has gifted her with an unusual androgynous appearance, although no one doubts that she is a real woman, and a very beautiful one at that.
In addition to aristocratic pallor and slenderness, Tilda has a genetic nuance – polythelia, or a third nipple. But don’t be scared, imagining strange pictures in your imagination. In fact, this nipple looks like a large mole and if you don’t know exactly what it is, you’ll never guess.
Tilda jokes that if she had been born in the Middle Ages, she would have been burned at the stake, since such anomalies were called “witch marks” in those days. Today, it is simply an individual feature, a highlight of appearance.
Iya Ostergren
This Swedish beauty is in perfect health. She simply has incredibly long legs by nature, which is why the girl did not have to choose a profession. As soon as she grew up, modeling agencies literally began to hunt her and offer contracts.
Iya’s height is 178 cm, and her leg length is 108, which is an undoubted record!
Peter Dinklage
Peter was born into an ordinary family, his parents are of normal average height, and he was diagnosed with achondroplasia in childhood, a short stature, which today the actor is only 135 cm. But this fact did not prevent the artist from making a dizzying career and earning much more than many people of normal or tall stature.
Peter got into the Game of Thrones series, beating out several dozen competitors. The thing is that according to the book, his character was a real dwarf, so the film crew was looking for just such an actor during the casting. Peter won everyone over with his sense of humor and ability to get into character.
By the way, if anyone thinks that Peter’s height has become an obstacle to family happiness, it is not so. The actor has been married to actress and theater director Erica Schmidt for many years, they have two children without any anomalies.
Kate Bosworth
Did you think that only cats have different eye colors? In fact, heterochromia is a fairly common deviation in the animal world and in the human world. The actress has one blue eye and one brown eye. At the same time, she often wears contact lenses to hide the defect. Is it worth doing? Of course, she knows better, perhaps she feels more comfortable this way, but in my opinion, this nuance is too cute and unusual to hide.
Jalisia Nightengale
It is impossible to take your eyes off this dark-skinned model. Her unusual blue eyes strike you right in the heart. Her father has exactly the same eyes, so neither doctors nor relatives saw anything unusual in the girl’s birth. But everyone gasped with admiration when, thanks to her work in a modeling agency, the whole world saw the beauty of Jalisia.
