Facial Scars That Helped These Actors Become Famous

These actors' skills have brought them the success they deserve, but their confidence in themselves, scars and all, has made them into legends. Check out these actors who have made the most of their facial scars.

Joaquin Phoenix is widely regarded as one of the greatest living actors. He stands proudly for himself, as well as worthy causes, like animal rights. His sense of self is so solid that he can convey his internal world without saying a single word. Directors have often remarked enthusiastically upon this dimensionality.

For the title role in Joker, the dedicated actor used the scar on his lip, along with his distended shoulder, to his advantage. The scar is thought to be a microform cleft, the mildest form of cleft lip. However, due to the actor's relative silence on the subject, the most we know for sure is that it, like his distended shoulder, has been with him since birth. It has served Phoenix's career well, fitting perfectly into other roles in which he's played tough, multidimensional characters. Consider his turn in 1999's 8MM, where he investigates the snuff film underworld alongside Nicholas Cage, or 2012's The Master, where we see him as a volatile World War II veteran struggling to adjust to the peacetime world. It's inspiring to see such primal fortitude radiate from both the personality and physicality of this impressive actor.
