Milo Ventimiglia has a certain charm about him. Whether you know him as Jess Mariano from Gilmore Girls or Jack Pearson from This Is Us, you know exactly what I mean when I say it's impossible not to love him and his adorable smile. But did you know that the 40-year-old actor's slanted grin is actually caused by a medical condition? Read on to find out the full story behind Milo's "crooked mouth" that we've all come to love, then discover nine other facts about the star that you probably never knew before.
- His crooked smile is the result of a birth defect. Believe it or not, Milo was told to fix his slanted facial feature - which he says is the result of dead nerves - when he first got to Hollywood. After attempting to correct it, Milo insisted on keeping his signature look. "It's who I am, you know? I've got a crooked mouth," he told People.
- He dated Alexis Bledel for four years. It's true, the Gilmore Girls costars struck up a secret romance in 2002, which almost resulted in marriage before their split in July 2006.
- He played a gay teenager in his first starring role. Milo proved he was serious about his craft when he took on the role of Jason in the 1996 short film Must Be the Music.
- His favorite TV shows are similar to yours. During a Reddit AMA in 2013, Milo listed his favorite TV shows as Breaking Bad, Sons of Anarchy, Spartacus, and House of Cards.
- He was Fergie's love interest. OK, not in real life, but he definitely played Fergie's lover in the music video for "Big Girls Don't Cry," and we've been swooning ever since.
- Yes, he cries while watching This Is Us. "I, personally, turn into a wet mess," Milo admitted to Today hosts Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford after watching a scene from season one. Same, Milo, same.
- He's a lifelong vegetarian. During an appearance on The Bonnie Hunt Show, Milo revealed that his mother was a vegetarian while she was pregnant with him, and she raised him and his two siblings with the same diet growing up.
- He has a childhood connection to Madonna. As a kid, Milo's sisters dressed him up as the "Like a Virgin" singer. Unfortunately, we'll never get to see pictures of Milo as Madge, because he made sure to get rid of them. "I found them when I was 13, [and] I was like, 'Oh my god, these are incriminating,'" he told Ellen DeGeneres when he visited her show a few years back.
- He also dated Hayden Panettiere. Despite their 12-year age difference, the Heroes costars managed to make their romance last for nearly two years before calling it quits in February 2009.
- He got a chance to work with Will Smith early on in his career. Milo reflected on the way Will treated everyone on the set of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, including the crew, telling Interview magazine, "It impacted me and how I am around my sets and my crews. Will Smith is a good man. So I just try to be a good man."
