Parminder Nagra
Bend It Like Beckham’s writers wanted to include actress Parminder Nagra’s burn scar in the script because it is so visible. However, her real-life scar story is not as dramatic as the one depicted in the film: when she was seven, the ER actress inadvertently set her pants on fire while cooking.

Tommy Flanagan
You could be forgiven for thinking Tommy Flanagan’s scars in films like Braveheart are the work of a talented make-up artist, but they are 100% real. Before becoming an actress, Flanagan was knifed in a Glasgow bar and received the infamous “Glasgow grin” – a facial slash from ear to ear. The joke is on his detractors, because those scars may have contributed to Flanagan’s celebrity.
