14 Celebrities With Quirky Body Parts ... Part 1

                             Halle Berry: An Extra Toe?
Academy-Award winning actress and perennial top 10 most beautiful woman, Halle Berry has long been rumored to have a sixth toe. Photographs of what appears to be an extra digit next to her pinky toe have circulated on the Internet for years. Polydactyly is the em for having an extra toe or finger. This type of body cosmetic deformity is often genetic and more common among African-Americans than other ethnic groups. The extra digit is usually just soft tissue without joints and can be easily removed.

Taye Diggs: Extra Fingers

Taye Diggs is amother celebrity who may have been born with polydactyly. "As a child I had an extra digit on each hand," he said on the CBS show The Talk, showing off the scars from his surgery to remove the extra fingers. In most cases, like Diggs’s, the extra digits are removed surgically. Otherwise, the former Private Practice star joked, "I could’ve been really handy."

                         Gemma Arterton: Extra FingersFor celebrities such as Gemma Arterton, polydactyly runs in the family. "My granddad had it, and my dad — I’m so proud of it," Arterton stated. "I was born with two extra fingers, one on each hand," explained the Bond Girl actress during a television interview. "They didn’t have a bone in them, so they just took them off." Polydactly, which occurs in one out of every 500 to 1,000 newborns, is thought to be passed down in families. The area where the fingers used to be attached is more sensitive because of the nerve endings that remain even though the extra skin and tissue were removed, Arterton said.

                            Stephen Colbert: Floppy EarTelevision pundit and comedian, Colbert likes to show off his body oddity — a lame ear. He rolls his ear down into itself and then gives a little sideways grin to make it pop back out. In an interview with David Letterman , Colbert explained that his body quirk was because of a problem inside his right ear when he was younger. It required an operation to "scoop it all out with a melon baller." The surgery caused him to lose hearing in that ear. "This is just a prop," he said, flicking his ear. "It doesn’t work at all … It’s all gone. Nothing in here."

                                Ashton Kutcher: Webbed Toes"I have connected toes…They’re slightly webbed. When everything else is this good-looking, something has got to be messed up!" That was Kutcher's response when asked about his webbed feet on a British television show . Syndactyly of the feet is a body cosmetic deformity — no medical treatment is necessary. Syndactyly, which usually occurs in between the second and third toes, is one of the most common congenital hand or foot defects. About one out of every 2,500 babies is born with syndactyly, which may require surgery to separate the fingers or toes. Webbing usually occurs between the second and third toes, as is the case for the Two and a Half Men star.

Jane Seymour: Different Colored Eyes
Emmy Award-winning actress Seymour has one green eye and one brown eye. It wasn’t easy growing up with the body oddity when she was a child. But now she is well known for her beautiful eyes and said that she's learned to embrace the uniqueness. Heterochromia iridis is classified as a rare disease by the Office of Rare Diseases of the National Institutes of Health. Fewer than 200,000 people in the United States have the condition. You may be born with it as the result of a genetic disorder. In some cases you may develop it later in life if you experience damage to nerves around the eye from an injury, disease, or exposure to something damaging in the environment.

                    Max Scherzer: Eyes of Different Colors
Jane Seymour's different colored eyes may have comforted the parents of Major League Baseball player's Mac Scherzer, who also developed this condition. Like his mom and dad, Scherzer was born with blue eyes. Then one day when he was 4 months old, his mom noticed that one of his eyes had turned green. His pediatrician assured her it was fine and nothing to worry about. Over time, however, his blue eye became a deeper blue, and his green eye turned brown. That night, Scherzer’s mother caught a television interview with Jane Seymour, where the actress talked about her different colored eyes. "It was just such a coincidence. She was talking about all the flak she'd taken growing up. She's a beautiful woman. She did OK. We always made a big deal to Max that he was special, that it wasn't something wrong," she said in an interview with The Kansas City Star. Years later, when a young Scherzer drew pictures of animals in elementary school, he would always give them different-colored eyes. His parents could easily identify his drawings hanging in a group of others during parent-teacher conferences, he has said.
