In a revelation as shocking as the news that Andy Garcia once had a siamese twin growing from his shoulder, Quantum of Solace co-star Gemma Arterton recently revealed to Esquire that she’s a polydactyl.

She was born with six fingers on each hand.
“It’s my little oddity that I’m really proud of,” she said to Esquire magazine. “It makes me different.” Different indeed. The condition, called Polydactyly, occurs in 1 of every 500 births.
As a child, the surplus digits were “tied,” which causes the boneless protrusions to fall off with time. She still bares bumpy scars where her extra appendages once were.
Earlier this year, she revealed that she was also born with a crumpled ear, which was surgically corrected in childhood. “I was born with lots of deformities,” the 22-year-old actress told the British press. [Yahoo]

Give her parents credit for allowing her to grow and blossom into the beautiful flower that she is.  If my baby came out with 12 fingers and a nubbin ear I doubt I’d be nearly as understanding. “Demon spawn! Burn the witch!” I’d yell at my wife from behind the doctor.
