How did that come about?
They've been like that since I can remember. What I've realized is that it's a lack of skin that's pulling the top portion of my pinkies downward. I had dinner at a friend's house years ago and his father (a surgeon) told me he would be able to fix it if I wanted to. But, I like them.
if you pay close attention, you'll see that Bill Nighy has a similar finger situation.
I wonder if he tries to hide it. I couldn't find a photo that clearly depicted it.
