Owen Wilson’s Nose (And 9 Other Hollywood Imperfections Explained)

So you're just hanging out, watching a movie with a bunch of friends - nothing unusual to these proceedings at all. And then, woah, you're suddenly distracted. And not because the movie is bad and your attention is waning and you find it hard to sit still for two hours, but because you've noticed something about an actor on-screen. Is that thing you've noticed actually part of them, or is it something they've adopted for the sake of the movie? Because Owen Wilson's nose really does look like that, but Brad Pitt's neck scar in Inglourious Basterds is just part of an unexplained backstory.

While they are not very visible on screen, Jonah Hill does have several scars. The most noticeable one is on his right arm, and it came from a car accident back when he was a teenager.

As the actor has explained in interviews in the past, he went through a tough time in middle school while his mom was battling cancer. Fearing that she wasn’t going to make it, he started to act out and get into trouble. His behaviour eventually led to a reckless car accident involving a friend, which resulted in Hill’s arm being dragged along the road as the car flipped over several times.

Apparently, the injury was so bad that the doctors actually considered amputating his arm. It was then that Hill finally smartened up and vowed never to let his parents down again.

“I said to myself, ‘I’ll never let them down ever again.’ I said, ‘I’m going to be f***** successful. I’m going to resurrect what I put these people through by being a little a**hole,’ Jonah revealed in an interview. “So I look at this scar every day. That reminds me to work hard.”
