Color Blind Celebrities
![]() Rutger became a sailor at the age of 15 and spent a year scrubbing decks aboard a freighter. He couldn't further his career because he was color blind. In an interview: "He still cuts a dash, dressed all in black – just like in the Guinness adverts. "I always dress like this; I'm colour blind," he explains. And he never liked Guinness much either: "I'd rather drink milk." Severin Severin's rating:
![]() The Encyclopedia of Genetic Disorders and Birth Defects writes that during the 1996 presidential debates both then-President Bill Clinton and former Sen. Bob Dole (R-Kan.) needed special lights to know when they were appearing on camera: “Both [Clinton and Dole] have inherited red/green color vision confusion and would have had difficulty with signals based on individual colored lights, so a system using three lights was used.” Maybe his eyesight deficiency explains why he married homely Hillary and got blown by fatty Monica Lewinsky. Severin Severin's rating:
Bing’s loud clothing was fodder for many jokes back in the day – Bob Hope especially relished zinging Der Bingle for his bad taste. But it’s no wonder that Bing picked out such tacky pieces – he was, quite literally, color blind. “He will think something is a beautiful blue,” his wife once explained, “and it will turn out to be a bilious green.” Severin Severin's rating:
![]() According to Katie Nicholl, writing in this weekend's Mail on Sunday, an unnamed military source reveals: "There's a rumour that William is slightly colour-blind, which would pose a problem for night helicopter flying. He has been advised that the Welsh Guards is a safer regiment." Before today's claim about alleged colour blindness, the 24-year-old Prince's eyesight was the subject of conjecture in October 2005. It was reported he wished to undergo laser treatment so as to avoid having to wear spectacles, a royal source claiming: "William has found out he may have to wear glasses full-time and he's been very keen to explore the possibility of laser eye surgery." I don't really think it's the color blindness Willy needs to worry about, it's the premature balding. Severin Severin's rating:
![]() Mr. Rogers was totally red-green color blind and couldn’t distinguish between tomato soup and pea soup. He asked a colleague to taste his soup one day and tell him what flavor he had gotten. Knowing that he liked both, she asked why he didn’t just tuck in. “If it’s tomato soup, I’ll put sugar in it,” he said. No wonder he wore those uglyy sweaters! Severin Severin's rating:

I believe Jackson Rathbone is color blind as well, or so he said in an interview I read once.
