Paul Giamatti says Cher 'really needs to talk to' him, is clueless why
The real story is much more boring (and wonderful) than a glass eye. Paul Giamatti uses both of his natural eyes to deliver some of the most memorable performances of our time. From the put-upon Harvey Pekar in American Splendor to the lovable schlub in Sideways, his eyes—both of them—are working overtime.
So next time someone leans in at a party and whispers, “Hey, did you know Paul Giamatti has a glass eye?” you can confidently say, “Nope, that’s just his signature strabismus smirk.” You’ll sound like a medical expert and a film buff all at once. It’ll be your coolest party trick.
And honestly? A rumor like this just makes us love him more. It proves that even the most successful actors are just regular people with quirky little things that make them who they are. His “wonky” eye is just another part of what makes him so brilliantly, undeniably Paul Giamatti.
