No one in the world is perfect, despite the fact that celebrities today are often expected to project an image of perfection. Even if you are well-known globally, you may still have physical flaws, such as crooked teeth.

While having straight teeth is certainly something to aspire to, many famous people in Hollywood have imperfect teeth that are crooked or gapped.

Because of this, many celebrities are reluctant to show their less-than-ideal smiles; some have even undergone orthodontic and dental procedures to enhance the appearance of their teeth. However, many celebrities choose to uphold their own standards of beauty, despite working in an industry like Hollywood that is fixated on ideal images, and it is refreshing to witness.

Some claim that having gaps in their teeth or crooked chompers has helped them secure more acting jobs. The renowned personalities listed below all smile imperfectly.
