It seems in the acting and modelling profession, where outward appearance is important, people with BDD thumbs are more than successful. Thanks to Quinn and Jack for finding these. As well as Megan Fox (see previous post), from left to right: Malin Akerman (US actress), Tory Mussett (Australian actress), Ashley Lynn Cafagna (US actress), and Kristen van Der Noot (Germany DJ and Model).
Who knows, maybe famous historical figures also share this trait…

It is wonderful to know that so many beautiful, talented people have “short” thumbs! I am almost thirty and I have been picked on my entire life about my thumbs. I especially think that Sanaa Lathan is a beautiful person. I would love to meet her someday….. To all of my short thumbed friends, be blessed in everything that you do! Much love!

This gorgeous actor, Hrithik Roshan, doesn’t have clubbed thumbs but another kind of unusual thumb (He has two thumbs on his right hand that are grown together.) It is inspiring to see someone who for sure is given a lot of media attention, yet he does not want to change anything about his appearance to look like everyone else.
“The bollywood hottest actor Hrithik Roshan carries two thumbs on his right hand. The additional thumb is a small extension which curves inwards towards his main thumb. In India the supernumerary thumb which Hrithik has on his right hand is considered to be a lucky sign. But we cann’t simply say that it is because of his luck that he acheived this much as his hard work is always visible in his movies. His fans, don’t even care for that extra finger and some fans even like it a lot.
Hrithik Roshan said: “I had this extra thumb…I stammered and in school – you know what kids are like – well, it was hell most of the time. My being quiet and sensitive came about as a consequence. I never felt normal. I always felt abnormal. I always felt I did not fit in.”
We must notice one special thing that he could get rid of that extra thumb if he wished but he left it there to be natural. He just accepts the life as it comes and has no complex problems about it.”
