2. Vince Vaughn – partially severed thumb
Vince Vaughn may have been luckier than Daryl Hannah, but the result of his own accident as a young man has left him with no less freakish a digit.

When he was 17, Vaughn got into a car accident, luckily walking away with his life but – less fortunately – not all of his body parts.
The crash left Vaughn with the end of his thumb missing, derailing the future funnyman’s ambitions of being a pro sportsman.

At the time of the accident, Vaughn was a passionate polo player. However, after the accident, doctors advised him to give it up.
Vaughn has embraced the accident with predictable humour, though: he calls his mangled thumb a “penis with a fingernail”.

The accident was also a blessing in disguise. No longer being able to play polo, Vaughn invested more time into another of his passions: theatre. And that, as they say, was that.
