The actress Megan Fox is well known for her movie star looks, so it was no surprise that Megan Fox was chosen to feature in the 2010 Super Bowl commercial for Motorola's Motoblur. Although the Super Bowl commercial showed Megan Fox naked in the bath, it was her hands (or perhaps not 'Megan's' hands) that everyone started talking about.

Did a hand model substitute for Megan Fox in Super bowl commercial?

Megan Fox, although 'perfect' in every other way, apparently suffers from a medical condition known as brachydactyly; in layman's terms, brachydactyly is a hereditary condition which results in a deformed digit. In Megan Fox's case, she has a 'deformed' right thumb, which has led to the accusations that the thumb shown in Motorola's Motoblur Super Bowl ad is not Megan's.

What is Brachydactyly?

Brachydactyly develops due to an underdevelopment of either the bones in the feet or the hands; it is not a serious health condition and is usually not associated with any other medical problems. In Megan Fox's case, her 'deformity' is said to consist of an unusually 'wider' thumb, although the condition varies in different people. Megan Fox's condition was first talked about last summer and is considered a minor 'cosmetic deficit' which does not cause her any medical difficulties in the use of her thumb.

    She's soo annoying.

    In a bathtub, really? hmm.. surprising.Cant act. All shes got is looks, she should have been a model instead. Shes only sucessful because of her sex appeal and she knows it, thats why the shots of her in movies are of her butt or... in a bathtub. Im sure it took a lot of talent.
