29. Denzel Washington – crooked little finger
Even the wonderful and eternal heartthrob Denzel Washington, 62, comes with a tiny little flaw.
See how his finger bends?

The actor, who has won two Academy Awards, has a damaged pinky finger on his right hand from playing sport as a younger man.
The injury is so noticeable that Denzel chatted about his crooked digit on The Graham Norton Show back in 2014.

“I went up for a pass playing American football and dislocated it,” Washington told Norton. “I had it rebuilt…but it’s like a gummy bear in there”.
The finger never set correctly. It is still crooked to this day, bent at the bottom knuckle and a full 45 degrees outwards from Washington’s other fingers. Ouch.
Here he is collecting an award

Still, Denzel’s cool about it now: today he calls the crooked pinky his ‘magic finger’. It’s certainly brought him a lot of luck.
