Why does Joaquin Phoenix try to deny his cleft lip scar?

[Drain Bamage]

Joaquin Phoenix was born Joaquin Rafael Bottom in the Río Piedras district of San Juan, Puerto Rico on October 28, 1974. He was born with a mark on his lip, which he claims is not a cleft lip.

If he doesn't start telling the truth then Tom Hanks will never see his other red shoe alive again.

It's a cleft lip dude. Stop it. Stop the insanity. Sick of these Hollywood types trying to act like they aren't like the rest of us.

Wait...his last name is "Bottom???????"

The scar is actually a microform cleft (the mildest form of a cleft lip), though in Joaquin's mind, it was the result of an "act of God." "While pregnant with me, my mother felt a sharp pain one day, and I was born with a mark on my lip," he once said of the scar.

What are you his doctor? We are on an MMA forum speculating about a medical condition based on movies and photos and the guy categorizing his condition differently than your speculation is "insanity".

Maybe it's microform, maybe it's not. Maybe there's a technical reason to differentiate. Maybe things were categorized different in the past and he's unaware of subsequent changes and thinks it's not.

I'm basing my maybe on the fact that we've been able to make cleft pallates and lips look less pronounced than that since about the mid-50s and by the 60s we were really good at it.

Dude looks cool as fuck. Much better than most of those robots that come off the Hollywood production line.

Might get banned if I post the Wicked City chick with fangs in her pussay.

I have watched almost all of his movies and never even noticed that before.

I’d be more embarrassed about the last name Bottom than a cleft lip scar
