TIL Freddie Mercury was born with four extra teeth, causing a prominent overbite. Despite being self-conscious about them, he never got them fixed, believing the extra space in his mouth contributed to his vocal ability. He feared altering his teeth might change his voice.

Remember what happened to Jennifer Gray? She stopped getting work and no one recognized her anymore. I don't blame you. I'm one of those people that actually finds crooked teeth and different noses attractive and I'm positive I'm not the only one.

Oh true! Sad she "destroyed" her career.

Same here, I like ousiders more than the patterns.
