The Truth About Thom Yorke's Eye

Thom Yorke might have come to terms with his droopy eye, but like many things in life, it took him time to accept it. Per Metro, Yorke said that his early years were defined by insecurity about his eye, which he believed was harming his chances with women. Eventually, a compliment from an admittedly drunk patron at a bar he worked at helped him come to accept his uniqueness and feel pride in it. "I worked in this pub and this old woman — she was so funny — she used to come in all the time, and she was the first person who really said to me,'it's the nicest thing about you,'" he recounted.

Per All About Vision, other celebrities with ptosis include Forest Whitaker, Tegan Quin, and Paris Hilton. Like Yorke, these artists have worn their ptosis with a badge of honor and used it to help them craft a distinct appearance in notoriously ruthless and overcrowded industries.
