However, celebrities are people too and can suffer from imperfections just like the rest of us.

Here are 13 celebrities who have or had physical deformities, and dealt with them in different ways.

1. Gemma’s Extra Digit Is Not in Her Phone Number

Gemma Arterton is best known for being a stunning Bond girl. But if she hadn’t gotten her inherent deformity removed while she was a baby, she might have gotten a role on X-Men instead.
