Forest Whitaker was born with Ptosis. This condition, otherwise known as a lazy eye, causes your upper eyelid to droop.

In 2007, Whitaker told Esquire Magazine, “It’s a genetic thing. … I think maybe for other people, it informs the way they see me. But I don’t really think about this eye, other than the times’ people talk about it, or when people take photographs of me sometimes they might say stuff about it. I don’t think it makes me look bad or anything. It just is.”
