Megan Fox is one of many to have ‘clubbed thumbs’, more technically known as brachydactyly of the thumb. Clubbed thumbs is easier for everyone to say.
This is a genetic condition, characterised by one or both of the thumb nails being clubbed and the thumb being fat and round.
Her deformity isn’t really noticeable

Typically, the distal phalanx – or, the ‘end bit’ – of the thumb for people with clubbed thumbs is two-thirds the normal size.
The condition is sometimes known as murderer’s thumb, a name originally coined by gypsy fortune tellers.
The condition has a grizzly nickname

To Megan Fox’s online haters, however, the condition has come to be known simply as ‘toe thumbs’. This is a less glamorous name for the condition.
