What Happened There? The Origins Of Celebrity Scars
Chiwetel Ejiofor
British actor Chiwetel Ejiofor has been in the movie-making business for a while but it is his portrayal of freed-man-turned-slave Solomon Northup in 12 Years A Slave that finally made him a household name. But tragedy struck Ejiofor early in his life and actually almost killed him. An 11-year-old Ejiofor was involved in a serious car accident that claimed his father’s life. The accident also left a prominent scar on his forehead.
