19 Celebs Who Shared Bizarrely Intimate Secrets About Their Bodies I Never Knew

After Selena Gomez recently revealed that years of vaping had changed her voice, we looked into more celebrities who have opened up about their own physical quirks, and it definitely got weirder than I expected…

So, here are 19 celebrities who have revealed some seriously unexpected things about their bodies:

1. In a 2017 interview with Chelsea Handler, Harry Styles confirmed that he has four nipples. When Chelsea brought up the rumor, he responded, “Correct,” then clarified that there were “four.” He even pointed out where the extra two were, below his usual nipples. Chelsea said she’d previously hooked up with someone with the same feature and hadn’t realized it was a thing. Harry responded, “Yup, it’s a thing.”

2. Kesha says she was born with a tiny tail that doctors removed when she was young. In a 2017 interview, she stated, “I was born with a tail. That’s not a joke. A teeny tail.” She has also said it was “about a quarter of an inch, then they chopped it off and stole my tail. That was when I was little. I’m really sad about that story.”

3. After years of questions about her changing voice, Selena Gomez finally addressed it and explained that nicotine vaping altered how she sounds. “I’m not gonna be able to change my voice,” she said, before admitting, “I vaped nicotine a lot.” She discouraged people from starting and added, “It’s so stupid. It changed my voice.” She said quitting had been difficult, then joked that anyone who dislikes hearing her voice can simply stop listening.

4. Billie Eilish has synesthesia, and the way she experiences smells is very specific. She can link scents to colors, numbers, and even days of the week. She has even said she owns around 100 perfumes and labels them so she can remember what each one evokes. One fragrance, she explained, “smells like 2015.”

5. Miley Cyrus has a large polyp on her vocal cord that contributes to her famously raspy voice. In 2025, she explained that singing with it can feel like “running a marathon with ankle weights.” She also has Reinke’s edema and said smoking and drinking did not help, though her voice was raspy long before that. She hasn’t removed the polyp because it could permanently change her sound.

6. Kylie Jenner revealed that she got a large scar on her thigh when she was about 5, after playing hide-and-seek with her sister, Kendall. She said she climbed onto a sharp metal pole sticking out of a gate, slipped, and the pole pierced her leg. Recalling what happened when she tried to get free, she mentioned, “it just tore through my whole leg.” She later said, “It’s smaller now though because I grew!” She has since posted pictures with the caption, “I love my scar.”

7. 50 Cent shared that he still has bullet shrapnel in his tongue from a 2000 shooting in which he was shot nine times. In a 2013 interview, he explained, “The piece that stayed in my tongue affected the way I talk.” He said doctors left it in because removing it might damage nerves or taste buds.

8. Olivia Rodrigo said in a 2026 radio interview that she is “60% deaf” in her left ear. She explained that if someone sat on that side and tried to tell her a secret, she “couldn’t make out” what they were saying. Olivia has had the hearing difference since childhood, when it was discovered during a kindergarten screening.

9. Florence Pugh was born with tracheomalacia, a condition affecting her windpipe. On The Louis Theroux Podcast, she said, “I sounded like a goose” as a newborn and added, “My laugh is kind of how I used to sound.” Breathing was difficult when she was little, and she has said respiratory illnesses can still hit her hard as an adult. And if you watch pretty much any of her interviews, you can hear her unique laugh!

10. Perrie Edwards was born without a sense of smell. In an early interview, she said, “I don’t have a sense of smell,” and during Little Mix’s appearance on This Morning, Jesy Nelson joked, “What’s bad is when Perrie does it (farts), and she doesn’t know how bad it is.” Perrie then said she relies on other people to tell her whether a perfume smells good.

11. Jade Thirlwall cannot burp, and she said it is much less funny than it sounds. Responding to a TikTok about R-CPD in 2026, she wrote, “It’s always been a fun fact that I can’t burp.” But she said it has caused annoying bloating throughout her life.

12. After people started commenting on her hands, Hailey Bieber explained why her pinky fingers look crooked. In a 2020 Instagram story, she said, “I have this thing called ectrodactyly, and it causes my pinky fingers to look the way they do. It’s genetic; I’ve had it my whole life.” She shared that she had made fun of her fingers herself over the years but finished by asking people to “please stop roasting me about my pinky fingers.”

13. Megan Fox has gained a lot of attention for her unusually short thumbs, which is a feature called brachydactyly type D. But she has since revealed that she does not understand why people are so fascinated by them. In a 2023 interview, she said, “I never thought that was a weird thing or an embarrassing thing.” She added, “They’re just kind of short. Is it really that crazy?”

14. Ashton Kutcher has webbed toes and actually took off a shoe and sock to show them during an appearance on Friday Night With Jonathan Ross. He joked, “When everything else is this good-looking, something’s got to be messed up!”

15. David Bowie’s eyes famously looked as if they were two different colors, but he revealed that that was not actually the case. After a teenage fight with his friend George Underwood, a punch injured Bowie’s left eye and caused its pupil to become permanently enlarged. Bowie later explained that the eye made distant objects look brown and blurry. He added, “That was quite a shock for both George and I.”

16. Mila Kunis quietly lived with major vision loss in one eye for years. In a 2011 interview, she said, “I was blind in one eye for many years, and nobody knew.” Chronic iritis had damaged her vision, and she later had an operation to replace the affected lens. Afterward, she said, “I’m not blind anymore.”

17. Lil Jon’s famous sunglasses look actually has a surprising backstory: He accidentally stabbed his eye with one of his mother’s insulin syringes when he was 6. He developed a traumatic cataract and went through multiple procedures, including a corneal transplant. He wore a metal eye patch to school and told People, “I definitely was teased in school.” The injury later led to a lazy eye, and the sunglasses became a way to cover it.

18. Jason Sudeikis was born without a sense of smell, which once left him unaware of methane leaking into the basement where he lived as a teenager. He recalled his father coming downstairs and asking what was happening before discovering the problem. Jason said, “I had headaches for two days afterwards.” And when asked about how he lives without the sense, he joked, “I’m exactly like Daredevil.”

19. Lastly, in 2024, Mark Ruffalo discussed becoming completely deaf in his left ear after surgery to remove a benign brain tumor. When the SmartLess hosts described him as a little deaf, he corrected them: “Not a little. Just totally.” He also explained that he woke from surgery with facial paralysis and could not close one eye. His facial movement improved, but his hearing on that side never came back.
