Happy Birthday Megan Fox!

May 16, 2011

Dear Megan Fox,

Yes, you are considered one of the most beautiful women in the world. And I certainly agree. However, no one in Hollywood is perfect. Not even you. You have one flaw. Although you try to hide it in your films and photos, it was made known to me by my daughter. It’s your thumbs. You were born with a condition called “brachydactyly” thumbs, which means that your thumbs are slightly clubbed or misshapen. Some people call it a “nubby thumb.”  I’m sure this won’t get in the way of millions of men swooning over you though. And just so you don’t have to feel alone in the “strange thumbs department,” here are a couple more celebs with misshapen thumbs. You see Megan, you’re in perfect company with Vince Vaughan, Eric Roberts, and Adrian Pasdar (“Nathan Petrelli” in Heroes).

Now, one good thing about Hollywood, Megan, is that you can always hire a hand-double. It’s true. I remember hearing at my daughter’s agency that they were looking for a hand double for actor, Adrian Pasdar. They were very specific. The hand-double had to have the same skin tone, age, finger shape, etc. as Adrian. And even if a man met the qualifications, he still had to “audition” for the job. The hand had to match perfectly!  You see, that day on the set of Heroes, they were filming a scene where “Nathan Petrelli” was showing someone a ring he was wearing on his left hand. His left hand? Oh no, that’s the hand where he has a misshapen thumb!  No problem, just cue the hand-double. And that’s exactly what they did!  I’ll bet you never noticed they never showed “Nathan Petrelli’s” left thumb! Ever!

So Megan, you probably have a hand-double that works for you too. She’s probably on an on-call basis. You probably have her phone number memorized! Now if she’s unavailable some time, no problem. They’ll just Photoshop a good thumb in for you!

I hope you had a wonderful 25th birthday. I’m sure you didn’t forget to hide your one “flaw” as you blew out the 25 candles! By the way, if it makes you feel any better, Jennifer Garner has a strange right toe and Dan Ackroyd was born with webbed feet. Don’t believe me? Just Google it!  Remember, no one in Hollywood is perfect! Not even you, Megan Fox!
