Color Blind Celebrities

1. Paul Newman


Paul wanted to be a pilot for the Navy. It was during the flight physical that he discovered he was color blind. Instead, Paul trained to be a radioman and a gunner and, obviously, eventually went on to become an actor

2. Rutger Hauer


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."

3. Bill Clinton


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.

4. Meat Loaf


Meat Loaf tried to fail his Army physical by listing his numerous ailments: he was color blind, 68 pounds overweight, had a trick shoulder and was prone to concussions. He was drafted anyway. LOL. Desperate ass army.

5. Bing Crosby


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.”

6. Keanu Reeves



From a 1991 interview, composing poetry on the spot as he tends to do:

Keanu: "I think of black and I think of blue / I think of red and I think of you / I think of yellow and I think of mauve / No more colors do I know…"

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.

8. Fred Rogers


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!

9. Jack Nicklaus


As Sports Illustrated puts it, dude “couldn’t tell you a green number from a red on a leader board if the winner’s check depended on it.”

Average listal rating (7 ratings) 3.1  
10. Matt Lauer


Matt has a mild case of color-blindness, but that hasn’t stopped him from being named best-dressed man on several lists, including Vanity Fair’s.
Severin Severin's rating:

Average listal rating (133 ratings) 8.4  
11. Mark Twain


Mark moved to Missouri as a child when it was a state that had black slaves, a theme he explored much in his works. Ironically enough, Twain was in fact colorblind, which fueled his witty banter in the social circles of the day. LOL! Dats racist.

Severin Severin's rating:



Seeing pretty colors is a thing we all take for granted, but these poor bastards don't have the ability. If you're wondering why there's no women on this list, it's because color blindness affects men way more than it does women.

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