Lena Dunham

Lena Dunham is quite known for her outspokenness and extensive works. She is known as the creator and star of Girls. Aside from that, her other career credits include Tiny Furniture, This Is 40, and American Horror Story. While her career is indeed very impressive, one thing about her is not known to many. It is the fact that she is double-jointed on her hands, elbows, and ankles. Dunham has said that she was born double-jointed. According to her, she is double-jointed thanks to her diagnosis of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. The syndrome is genetic, and its signs include stretchy skin, very flexible joints, and abnormal scars when scarred.

Those who have the syndrome tend to be easily scared than usual.While she has been quite resistant to appear suffering from the disorder at the start, she has admitted to having used a cane to support herself. Typically, people with Ehlers-Danlos need to have mobility aids like canes to move around as their bodies can be quite frail. Aside from Dunham, other celebs also have the disorder. These include Sia, Yvie Oddly, Jameela Jamil, and Cherylee Houston.
