Another factyou may not know about Diggsis that he was born with a unique physical feature.

(And on talk shows!)

He still has all four today.

Perhaps surprisingly, extra nipples are more common than you would think.

Again, this is probably due to extra nipples being harmless in most cases.

As for Diggs, his extra digits were probably due to a condition called polydactyly.

We think it’s great that more celebs seem to be embracing their uncommon features!
