Gemma Arterton

Ok so MG has been a gone missing again over the past few days. But we’re going to make it up to by giving our first Person of the Week award (we think) to a FEMALE! That’s amazing. Is it true that females haven’t done much this year? Or are the team at Master Giraffe just a bunch of sexist nerds?

However I must point out that our newest MG member, Ren, who is yet to make her MG debut, may have been the one with the idea for this week’s winner - and yes she’s a female.

No, we’re not giving her the award because she’s pretty. She’s person of the week because she once had 2 extra fingers on each hand. That’s awesome. What’s even better is that she admitted it and has no shame at all about it.

After undergoing an operation to have them removed, she still has bumpy scars as remainders of her extra digits.

The extra fingers were ‘tied’, which causes them to fall off naturally.

She tells Esquire magazine: ‘It’s my little oddity that I’m really proud of. It makes me different.’

Earlier this year, she revealed she was also born with a crumpled ear, which was corrected through surgery.

She said: ‘I was born with lots of deformities.’

Man, she should have kept those fingers. They would have been useful for many daily activities such as using video console controllers, speed texting and winning ‘how many cheezels can I fit on my fingers’ competitions.

Quantum of Solace anyone?

    Wow! This is something that I did not know! Interesting…

    By 2 extra fingers on each hand, does that total 6 or fingers and a thumb, or just 5?

    Turns out the gal is also pretty ‘handy’ with a guitar, drawing & painting, making clothes and jewellery.

    She’s got to almost be pissed off she doesn’t still have those extra little piggys. The prodigy she could have been…would have brought a whole new meaning to the word ‘gifted’. I read somewhere she felt it was like she was “more evolved” because of it too. Dang.
