July 12th is a day known as Different-colored Eyes Day. That's when someone has, for instance, one blue eye and one brown eye or green eye. Several celebrities are among those who have different colored eyes. On this list of four celebrities, which one does NOT have different colored eyes? It is actress Kate Bosworth, TV host Drew Carey, actress Demi Moore, or baseball pitcher Max Scherzer?
Answer:
Many sports fans know that Washington Nationals pitcher Max Scherzer has different colored eyes. It's very noticeable , with one very light eye and other very dark. One of the two females on the list has one blue eye and one that's dark hazel. The other has a hazel eye and a green eye that look quite different. That would be Demi Moore. The first female is Kate Bosworth. That leaves Drew Carey as the exception on this list of celebrities with more than one eye color.
The condition is called heterochromia and it's not that common, only about one percent of the population. Since African-Americans have brown eyes, and that's the color that's dominant for Asians, the percentage is limited to those with at least some European roots that would lead to blue or hazel or green eyes. Other celebrities I found with different-colored eyes include actors Kiefer Sutherland, Josh Henderson, Benedict Cumberbatch and Dan Akroid. Some celebrities are included because the rings around their irises are of different colors. For instance, Joe Pesci has deep blue eyes, but their inner rings are brown. Other celebrities with similar conditions include Angelina Jolie, Harvey Keitel and Jennifer Connelly. Still others have flecks of different colors. That condition is called partial heterochromia. By the way, Max Scherzer isn't the only pro-baseball player with the condition. Former Phillies relief pitcher Michael Schwimmer has one blue eye and one hazel eye.
