Scars are like a permanent tattoo that reminds us of the event or an accident that was responsible for it in the first place. For some people, it holds a very important place and for the others, it is a matter of shame. Many people have a negative impression when it comes to scars and they go to length to hide them by using makeup or surgery but some just embrace them proudly.

Now, Hollywood is the land of famous celebrities who often act as role models for people. They are an emblem of perfect look but that doesn’t mean they are any different from us. Many celebrities have scars. While some hide them, others are proud to own them. You can see celebs sharing their stories about their scars telling people how very normal it is to have them. We have created a list of 44 celebrities that show off their scars without any regrets. Take a look below.

• Kate Middleton

In the right picture, you can see Kate Middleton with a 3-inch scar in her hairline. Many made assumptions that the scar was a result of hair extensions. However, the assumptions were contradicted when the Palace came out with a statement clearing the rumors, stating, “The scar is related to a childhood operation.” While we do not have much information about the “childhood operation”, we sure do know that the Duchess wears her scar like her crown.

• Amy Schumer

Amy Schumer is a strong and outspoken person when it comes to speaking about generalized beauty standards. She gave birth via operation to her first child and while she has a huge scar in her abdomen, she has not shied away from it. Amy addressed this issue in her Instagram post, where she is seen lifting up her top and revealing the scar. The post has a caption that says, “I’m really sorry if I offended anyone with my hospital underwear, except I’m just kidding.” That’s quite strong and liberating of a celebrity to speak about the insecurities so openly!
