Omigod! Megan Fox Has a Weird Thumb

By , About.com Guide   June 16, 2009

Follow me on:

The latest in celebrity body oddities is Megan Fox's thumb. Apparently the Web is all abuzz over Fox's flat-yet-wide-and-strangely-small thumb, which a doctor has identified as a possible "clubbed thumb." Here's the picture (see the thumb, over there, to the left). Decide for yourself. Personally, I don't think it looks that weird. So what if her thumb is different?

Not content with Megan Fox's thumb? Here are other body mysteries of celebs:
Is model Karolina Kurkova missing her belly button?
What's up with Lisa Rinna's puffy lips?

what is the big deal? I mean yes its weird, but i dont think that discredits her acting ability. Leave her alone, she has tremendous rolls in movies and isnt the train wreck type of celebrity that we need to be picking on like Linsday Lohan, or Paris Hilton.

I saw that in trasformers. I said she has a weird thumb, and I was rigth. Hey alot of people have the problem. Sure is ugly but it’s not a big deal. It does not take away from her abilities. We love to bag on actors, like they not human just like us. Why don’t we look at our self’s for a change. 80% of americans are fat. why don’t we look at the?

The only reason Megan’s clubbed thumb is so popular right now is because people are obviously looking to find flaws on Fox’s ridiculously attractive body.
I agree, this doesn’t change her acting abilities (or lack of), but it is a weird looking thumb, I do admit that.

I would trade my normal looking thumb to be as beautiful as her! I have never heard a guy say “She is so hot, but look at that thumb, I can’t date her”.
It is nice to see that not everyone in Hollywood is perfect. And it seems to me that Megan doesn’t have a problem with it, she definetly doesn’t try to hide it.

Hahaha…I saw this in the first Transformers movie too. I only noticed because my hag of a boss has clubbed thumbs, we call her “Nubbins”..LOL

I’ve seen plenty of people with thumbs like that…used to work with a girl that had a thumb like that….big deal!

I’ve seen many, many people with thumbs like hers. Fine with me!!! It’s the inside of every person that matters :D

(9) JodiLE1972 says:

I am so glad to find someone else with thumbs like mine…
and no one has ever really noticed it except myself…
I have never heard the term “clubbed thumb” either, but I guess it makes sense, just like clubbed foot.
…and yes look at a person from within no matter what their flaws!!!

You have GOT to be kidding me…is this seriously being posted on this blog? I’m sorry but there is just too much going on in the world for me to seriously entertain the “importance”, or in this case lack there of, of some minor celebrity’s funky thumb…the fact that it is a hot internet topic says that folks are spending way too much time on the internet and not enough tending to their own lives…..sigh

(13) Karen says:

I have a “clubbed thumb” and so does my son. I use to be ashamed of it and tried to hide it all the time, but I realized that it works just as good as a so-called normal thumb. I guess I could have a worse problem and who says I don’t!! Stop analyzing people and what they look like, it’s whats in the heart that counts. Usually people who make comments like that are unsecure about something themselves.

I AM SURE GLAD I DONT HAVE A DEFORMED THUMB…I WOULD BE ASHAME! LOL

(15) sandra says:

I’m suprised anyone is even looking at her thumb. I mean the girl is gorgeous!!!! We all know that no one is perfect. We all have something about ourselves that we don’t like!!! Stop being so judgemental of flaws and celebrate the achievements, talents, and inner as well as outter beauty!

arent clubbed thumbs a sign of lung cancer or something of the sort….like a heavy smoker

June 27, 2009 at 12:45 pm
(17) Amy says:

Yes, it’s called a clubbed thumb, and it’s a recessive gene. It caused me endless self-consciousness growing up (and even into adulthood, particularly when I see people posting articles as if it makes one a freak).

For those of you who also have a clubbed thumb (or even two, as I do), it’s such a rare recessive gene that it was considered a sign of royalty in medieval Europe. It was apparently a gene running through the royal families, and extremely rare to have two. So consider yourself special. ;)

(18) Livin' LARGE says:

Thank goodness this chick has something weird about her. She thinks she’s all that & then some. But I got news for her, there’s a reason she’s got a flaw, because she’s already so high on herself that I could only imagine if she really was perfect. I hope she sees this!!!! What a dork.

(19) Jose Lopez says:

Everyone has issues, whats so wrong with a clubbed thumb?…
She is so gorgeous, you dont notice the thumb when you have something so precious.
Megan Fox…hit me up.

(20) cindi says:

SO! SHE HAS A “SLIGHT ABNORMALITY”-HOW MANY PEOPLE-HAVE FAR WORSE PROBLEMS-THAT WOULD TRADE-PLACES WITH HER, IN A SECOND-HOW ABOUT TERMINAL CANCER? HOW ABOUT NOT HAVING ARMS OR LEGS! THOSE ARE PROBLEMS-NOT THIS BEAUTIFUL,YOUNG,AND TALENTED YOUNG WOMANS THUMBS!”GIVE ME A BREAK!!!” WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO “LOOKING AT THE PERSON-AS A WHOLE HUMAN BEING?” “THOSE WHO LIVE IN GLASS HOUSES-SHOULD,NT THROW STONES!!!!” TAKE A LONG LOOK AT YOURSELVES-INSIDE AND OUT-AND CONSIDER-THE QUESTION-AS TO WHY? YOU WOULD “HONE IN” ON OTHER,S FLAWS! WHAT ARE YOURS?????

(21) Maya says:

WOOW! That is so cool!! Haha!:D I always knew there had to be someone else out there somewhere with the same munted thumbs as me!! (Munted meaning mutated and stunted!!) Thankfully the only time I’ve ever felt embarrassed about them was when I got acrilic nails put on and they had to get a GUY to come and glue them on my thumbs!! Haha, so embarrassing! :D

(23) Chris says:

I have one of those. My right thumb. I never knew why and was self-conscious about it growing up, although I really don’t know why. I guess it was just knowing how rotton people are, and how anything different, no matter how small, is a cause for ridicule, disdain, or some other negative reaction.
One, day, when I was 22 and working as a waiter in a restaurant, I looked at a co-worker’s hand, and SHE HAD ONE TOO! I really had thought up until then that I was all alone. She was a cute girl, and as we were talking and comparing thumbs, another waitress, who actually looked something like Megan Fox and was a total babe, stuck out her hands and showed that she too had the exact same situation! All of us had the big thumb on the right hand, as apparently does Megan Fox, so I wonder if this is always the way. I was shocked and relieved at that point, though, since until then I had never met anyone else with the same thumb. It was nice that both the girls were really cute, too. It’s funny, I used to tell people it was a sign of the ancient Celtic kings, or that it was how the aliens were to know who to put in charge when they landed.

(24) Heather says:

Both of my thumbs are clubbed. Most of the time, it’s no big deal. It’s just darn near impossible to find a pair of gloves that fit properly without altering them.

(25) Sara says:

I´m so glad that there are so many people out there with the same problem.
I´ve two clubbed thumbs and been very ashamed of them my whole life.I try to hide them as much as I can.Because of that I decided to learn a job where not many people would see it.Now I´m very unhappy with that job.If it´ll be possible to get surgery for that I´d definetly go for it

(26) Beam says:

wow, while the thumb doesnt really bother me, the fact everyone tihnk she’s does.

This girl is flat in everyway. Small butt, narrow hips, skinny thighs, and skinny stomach(which doesnt really bother me as much as the others). That’s pretty manly, so I’m not sure whats up with this big thing about her is. She has a pretty face, but not as fine as some of the better looking woman in hollywood. But I guess that is what America has come to, thinking manly figures is hot!

Well I stillthink she is an a amazing n wondelful woman wit a beautiful face n a gorgeous body…the thumb is nothing she’s making bank…

(28) better then you says:

wow deanna P. i think you’re the first person who actually thinks Megan Fox can act o.o she can’t act her way out of a paper bag (along with Jennifer Gernier and Jessica Alba.)

she’s a model that was just ‘pretty enough’ to get people’s attention, she has no emotion and can’t act.

Not to mention her being in Transformers was kind of ridiculous…especially since in all her shots ‘don’t make me dirty’ and took away from the realism of that movie. Everyone but megan fox has to get dirty okaaaayyy.

and ya her thumb is gross. i wouldn’t touch it if my life depended on it. eww

She’s beautiful and NO, it’s not a big deal.
As perfect as every names her to be, this goes to show that NO ONE is perfect.

(31) Marije says:

Lol. I would rather have clubbed thumbs instead of an ugly face, which is very more common than having clubbed thumbs.

I´m sure that all the people who say she´s ugly because of this aren´t even half as pretty as she is.

(32) Mister Seven says:

All these people with clubbed thumbs claiming that it’s a sign of royalty is full of it. If a birth defect was a sign of royalty, then the world should be run by those with down syndrome. It’s just that clubbed thumbs is a minor birth defect. Accept it for what it is instead of making up bullshit stories. It’s the only way you and others can look past your ugly ass thumb. Btw, I’ve known Blacks, Hispanics and Asians with clubbed thumbs. Am I to believe their of European royal descent as well?

October 26, 2010 at 5:08 am
(33) Person says:

I have ‘clubbed thumbs’ and I am not being funny but they aren’t even that ugly. I think you are all being petty and are picking on the one aspect of Megan Fox that is actually different. I can GUARANTEE none of you who are saying things about her are as pretty as her. Its just a thumb. I believe we are all these ways for a reason.. and you are all horrible people inside if you look at the worst of people. Its rude and minor and RIDICULOUS that you all can focus on something so small. So what if we have different thumbs, it makes us unique.. oh and i like my thumbs so you can all get lost and go to hell, because you think it effects us and hurts us to criticize our thumbs, but it doesn’t, no one actually cares.

We in the nail-care business call it a “lollipop” thumb, and no, it is not because she sucked on it when she was a child!
Besides, I have two thumbs like that, and it makes me unique, not a freak.

So mean that she is getting picked on for a disability. What about her face and that bad plastic surgery at such a young age??? Leave her club thumb alone!

(45) Jacob B says:

The most stupid thing about this topic is, 90% of all comments are the same, everyone is agreeing that its no big deal with a clubbed thumb, then there is 10% left, which is splitted in two(5% vs 5%) Which is those who got a clubbed thumb and are totally fine with it, and then there is those who think its stupid that a clubbed thumb is a sign of royality… NOW! get over yourself, and end this no-where-going-topic, where every single comment is a repetition of the former comment, with a little twist/add.
