Freddie Mercury Teeth – Did They Help Queen?

Did Freddie Mercury Fix His Teeth?

Freddie Mercury was one of the most popular singers in his generation. He was the lead vocalist of the rock band Queen. Queen spawned hits such as “Bohemian Rhapsody”, “Killer Queen”, “Somebody to Love” and “We are the Champions”.

With Freddie Mercury churning out hit after hit, many started to wonder whether his teeth played a part in his strong vocals. Known for his protruding upper front teeth, Mercury was known to hit high notes with wrenching power. Question remains, did his teeth play a major role in his musical career?

Let’s take a look over the years of Freddie Mercury and see how his teeth evolved.

Freddie Mercury Teeth Over The Years

Freddie Mercury was born in Zanzibar in 1946 and moved to India when he was eight. One of his earliest pictures showed him wearing a ring of flowers smiling at the camera. He had great charisma even as a child. Check it out:

Freddie Mercury was described by his mother as a very polite child. There was no doubt that Mercury was a responsible kid. The photo below shows him protecting a younger girl. The way he stood in the photo showed his air of confidence. His two front teeth were for all to see.

Here is another early photo of Freddie Mercury showing off his set of teeth and a “Best Achiever” Cup at his boarding school. His teeth were already a prominent feature during his younger days. Check it out:

There was a time before Queen started their string of concerts around the world. The photo below marked a time (1973) during rehearsals before their first major tour. Freddie Mercury was clean shaven then. Frankly, his teeth did not look too bad.

Freddie Mercury performed in as many as 700 concerts around the world. David Bowie once said that Freddie Mercury “took it over the edge” in his concerts. Even the last person at the edge of the concert could feel connected to Freddie Mercury. Such was the power of his stage presence. The photo below shows him performing at a concert in 1980 at the Rosemont Horizon. His jagged teeth were obvious.

Overall, Freddie Mercury was an amazing performer. His teeth became integral to his live performances.

Keira Knightley Teeth Alignment – Did She Undergo teeth plastic surgery?

Keira Knightley’s Teeth Over The Years

Keira Knightley once said she was pretty fortunate to be accepted in Hollywood. Her misaligned teeth were not an obstacle to stardom.

Keira Knightley felt that she never really needed to change to be accepted by Hollywood. She said,  “Which is quite amazing, because I’ve got wonky teeth. And I keep hearing about everybody going to Hollywood and, you know, their agents going, ‘Straighten your teeth,’ or, ‘Whiten your teeth,’ but nobody’s ever said anything about my teeth. They’re not straight, apparently. But nobody’s ever said anything, which is quite nice I suppose.”

However, upon close observation, Knightley’s teeth seem to have gone from bad to worse over the years.

Here is a video of her on the Jimmy Kimmel Show. Were her teeth that bad? Check it out:

But did she look that bad in her teeth? Well, some photos of Keira Knightley certainly say so. But did she improve her teeth over the years? Let’s find out!

Knightley started her career early. Here is a shot of her as a child burglar in the drama “The Bill” back in 1995. She was only aged 10 and her teeth already needed some fixing up.

Three years later in 1998, Knightley has grown up! Her bright smile as Judith in the movie “Coming Home” was captured in the shot below. Her teeth did not look as bad as before. Probably the work of braces? Check it out:

In 1999, Keira Knightley starred in “Oliver Twist”. She played Rose Fleming Maylie. Though there were limited photos of Knightley in the film. We managed to track down a screen shot of her in the movie. Her teeth looked the same as they did in 1998. Check it out:

Then in 2002, Keira Knightley played the role of Juliette “Jules” Paxton in the movie “Bend it Like Beckham”. Her role won many positive reviews. We have no doubts that her well aligned teeth then won many positive nods too. Here is a shot of Keira Knightley in the movie:

In 2003, Keira Knightley played the role of Elizabeth Swann in the surprise box office hit Pirates of the Caribbean. Many pirates have bad teeth but Knightley showed otherwise. Here is a screenshot of her in the movie. Her teeth looked pretty alright.

Two years later in 2005, Keira Knightley starred in the sleeper hit “Pride and Prejudice”. She showed a remarkable improvement in her teeth alignment. Nobody knew what she did to her teeth but from her smile, you could tell that her teeth her in perfect harmony. Check it out below:

In 2008, Keira Knightley continued her impressive streak of perfect teeth. Here, she flashed a “grinny” smile in front of the cameras. Knightley must have known that her teeth were in perfect shape as she gave everyone a clear view of her “whites”. The photo below shows Keira Knightley attending the premiere of “The Edge Of Love” in London:

Things took a turn for the worse in 2011. Keira Knightley starred in the historical drama “A Dangerous Method”. Keira Knightley flashed her teeth several times in the drama. One of those moments was captured in the photo below. Her teeth started to look slightly crooked. We suspect that she might have stopped wearing those teeth retainers. Check it out below:

A year later, Keira Knightley appeared in the press conference of the film Anna Karenina with a set of uneven looking teeth. Her teeth looked drastically different from a year ago. Those uneven jagged edges of her teeth suggested some “teeth filing” was necessary. Check it out below:

Things started to go downhill for Knightley’s teeth. In 2013, she starred in the film “Begin Again”. Her teeth just got from bad to worse. Did she feel that crooked teeth will help her in her acting career? Check out a screen grab of her in “Begin Again”:

As if her teeth were not bad enough, Keira Knightley showed off some “fangs” when she starred in the film “Jack Ryan : Shadow Recruit”. Check her teeth out:

 

In 2015, Keira Knightley attended The EE British Academy Film Awards.(see below) Her teeth seemed to be growing in different directions. In the photo below, you can see that her front teeth are “outgrowing” her other teeth. Does she need a set of braces? What do you think?

Then in 2017, Keira Knightley showed that she does not really care about her teeth. Her teeth not only looked uneven but there was added color as well. Check out the photo below taken at the Photocall of the ‘Chanel Cruise 2017/2018 Collection’ at Grand Palais. Do you think she needs to go for teeth whitening too?

Overall, Keira Knightley’s teeth have gone from bad to worse. Rumors of her having her teeth done are not true at all. In fact, it seems like Knightley needs to get her teeth fixed as soon as possible. She can easily afford a new set of teeth veneers like Hilary Duff. Or she should at least get her teeth whitened.

Steve Buscemi Movie Roles – Did His Teeth Help Him Out?

Because of his crooked teeth, Steve Buscemi has successfully portrayed lowlifes and losers on screen. His bad teeth made the characters he played more real. After all, viewers do not expect losers in a movie to have perfect teeth veneers.

His latest effort is joining the cast of “Horace and Pete”. He plays the role of Pete Kittel, who is the co-owner of a bar. Pete Kittel is supposed to be crippled by a severe mental illness and institutionalised for a few years. Kittel is very sensitive to criticism. Below is a photo of Buscemi in “Horace and Pete”. Did Buscemi’s teeth help in his role?

Overall, we feel Buscemi’s teeth has helped him portray his on-screen characters. Often cast as a “loser” or mentally handicapped person, Buscemi’s uneven teeth reinforce the image well. This could be due to the stigma that “losers” generally have bad teeth. Nonetheless, Steve Buscemi’s decision to leave his teeth untouched is a fantastic one. Buscemi’s contribution to the film industry should never be overshadowed by his bad teeth.

What do you think of Steve Buscemi’s teeth? Should he get them fixed? Let us know in the comments box below.

Becky G Teeth Surgery Transformation – Before and After Photos

Did Becky G Fix Her Teeth?

Becky G is famous for the gap between her front teeth. Becky G is always proud to flash her big smile in front of cameras, showcasing the gap in the middle. She once told US Weekly, “I’d be lying if I said I’d always embraced [the gap in my teeth]. I think it’s part of growing up to learn that imperfection is perfection — learning to love yourself for the way that you were created. It’s part of me, it gives me character, you know? I love it — it’s never crossed my mind to take it away.”

She made the comment in March 2016. That was not too long ago, just over a year. However, she was recently spotted with a much smaller gap between her middle teeth. Did she get her teeth fixed like Hilary Duff and Miley Cyrus? Or did she just leave her teeth alone like J. Cole?

Who is Becky G?

Becky G is a Mexican-American singer and songwriter. She gained fame in 2011 when some of her videos online attracted a large fan base. Becky G got her breakthrough when she was offered a record contract with Kemosabe Records and RCA Records.

Her debut single was “Becky from the Block”. It was released in 2013 and received encouraging support. Her single “Shower”, was certified platinum status from the Recording Industry Association of America. The single sold 2 million copies in the United States.

Becky G has superb rap skills and vocals. The gap in her teeth added character to her personality. There were critics who said that she should fix her teeth given the amount of wealth she had. But she went against their advice, sharing on ABC, saying:

“The fans love it and then the haters hate it, of course.It’s funny because so many people have assumed, they’re like, ‘Wow, aren’t you rich now? Couldn’t you afford braces?’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, I could afford braces, but why should I change myself to be what everybody else wants me to be when I’m OK with who I am and I’m happy with who I am?’”

That’s why her recent appearances with a reduced teeth gap width surprised many industry observers.

Becky G Teeth Gap Over the Years

So, when did Becky G have her teeth gap? Let’s take a look back her early years.

Ok, we are a little extreme here. Below is a photo taken when Becky is just a cute little girl. Her smile showed that her teeth gap was there at the very beginning.

Here is a photo taken when Becky G was 9 years old. Her teeth gap looked more pronounced. Check it out:

Here is Becky G attending the screening of Columbia Pictures and Sony Pictures Animation’s “Hotel Transylvania” at the Pacific Theatre in Los Angeles, California. The photo was taken on September 22, 2012. Dressed in a fashionable patterned top and large earrings, Becky G was not afraid to show off her teeth gap:

Then, in August 2013, Becky G attended the CW Network’s Young Hollywood Awards. She was seen flashing her smile again. Her teeth gap made her look more adorable, though we cannot figure out why. At this point, her breasts were catching some attention too:

Back in 2013, Becky G was not bothered by her teeth gap at all. Three months later in November 2013, Becky G attended the 14th Annual Latin Grammy Awards held in Las Vegas. She tied her hair neatly and showcased her teeth gap again:

By July 2014, attention started to gather around Becky G’s boobs. Her deep cleavage was getting hard to ignore. But we will leave the discussion of her boobs on another day. Here, she was attending the Premios Juventud 2014 in Coral Gables, Florida. We guess nobody really noticed her teeth gap then as her cleavage was definitely catching more attention.

Four months later in November 2014, Becky G was at it again. This time, dressed in a “window” themed dress, she offered some peekaboo of her cleavage. And who can forget her teeth gap:

Since October 2016, Becky G’s teeth gap became less significant. Some online forums suggested that she may have undergone teeth veneers enhancement. There were others who believed that Becky G’s teeth grew closer naturally.

In March 2017, Becky G attended the premiere of Lionsgate’s “Power Rangers”. She flashed a wide smile for the cameras and her teeth gap was gone. Check it out below:
