Social media has often been criticized as a place where every moment is perfectly curated to present to the world. From influencers who seem to be on an endless beach vacation to celebrities who never seem to have a hair out of place, social media is often the home of \u201ccompare and despair.\u201d But as the Internet evolves, more and more celebrities are choosing to show their true selves online: warts and all.<\/span><\/p>\n While it might not seem like it, almost everyone suffers from feet and nail issues from time to time. Olympians get athlete\u2019s foot, actors get toe fungus, and models get dry, cracked heels just like everyone else.\u00a0 Instead of hiding these issues like most people might, celebrities are starting to share their insecurities with the world, destigmatizing feet and nail care issues and making themselves that much more lovable in the process.<\/span><\/p>\n Here\u2019s a few celebrities that are braving the internet and getting real about foot and nail care:<\/span><\/p>\n Who says men can\u2019t get pedicures?\u00a0 On an episode of his podcast \u201c<\/span>The Big Podcast with Shaq,\u201d<\/span> NBA star Shaquille O\u2019Neal shared that he spends around $1,000 on pedicures.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI give about $1,000 because I know my feet stink,\u201d says Shaq. \u201cI know they\u2019re ugly, and I like to paint them.\u00a0 I paint that s\u2013t because it\u2019s ugly and I want it to look pretty.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n According to Shaq, he first got into painting his toenails after losing a nail before a big game. While he was going to sit the game out, his mother refused to let a lost toenail keep him from competing. She painted his toenails with red polish and he went out and scored 40 points. Ever since, he\u2019s been getting regular pedicures, painting his toenails with sparkles and other designs.<\/span><\/p>\n It all started with a Twitter photo of the beach during a gorgeous sunset. Blocking out the center of the frame, however, was a closeup of a foot that was, well, less than pleasant to look at.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWelcome to the Trollfoot California,\u201d DeVito wrote in the caption.<\/span><\/p>\n The photo has been liked over 55 thousand times, with reactions ranging from unbridled shock to unconditional support.\u00a0 Some fans have even responded with pictures of their own feet, eager to jump on the trend and share their own journey with foot hygiene.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n DeVito himself has even spoken in interviews about his \u201cTroll Foot,\u201d saying, \u201cWhen I see a picture that I really want Troll Foot to be in, I put him out.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been doing it for a couple of years, and I have a lot of fans.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Welcome to the Trollfoot California\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/jn7jOaVFaD<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Danny DeVito (@DannyDeVito) July 17, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Even modern day sex symbols aren\u2019t afraid to show their vulnerable sides online. <\/span>Guardians of the Galaxy<\/span><\/i> actor Chris Pratt shared a cheeky photo of his pinky toe on Instagram with the caption \u201cMet Gala look,\u201d poking fun at the state of his discolored, gnarled toenail.\u00a0 Fans commented offering support and warning of the possibility of a fungal nail infection.<\/span><\/p>\n While posts like these might be easier comi from celebrities with the power to wield social media to their liking, it shows a lot of bravery to get real about feet hygiene.\u00a0 It\u2019s also a good reminder of the importance of taking care of one\u2019s feet and nails so they don\u2019t have to be a source of shame.\u00a0 People who are struggling with nail issues can find relief with <\/span>Kerasal<\/span><\/a> Multi-Purpose Nail Repair Patches, a convenient 8-hour patch that can address multiple nail damage issues. Easy to apply and quick to act, these patches can address challenges like thickness, ridges, discoloration, brittleness, roughness, and gel\/acrylic nail damage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Internet would probably be a kinder place if more people were open about their insecurities. Thanks to celebrities like these, the stigma of feet and nail care issues doesn\u2019t have to stay taboo.<\/span><\/p>\n \n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<\/blockquote>\n
