It could be the result of an accident that caused a significant amount of damage to that person’s body, potentially even destroying some organs. It may be related to a birth defect or congenital health issue they didn’t know about until they reached a certain age. Transplants save lives.

Every single year tens of thousands of people receive an organ transplant and it allows them to live a full and normal (or as close to normal as possible, given their specific health condition) life.
Celebrities also are subject to requiring medical care at some point in time. It could be for a kidney transplant, heart transplant, or even a bone marrow transplant for those undergoing treatment for leukemia or other serious illnesses.
We have discovered there are many celebrities whose health doesn’t get all that much attention when they require something as serious as a transplant (and it shouldn’t get public scrutiny unless they allow it) and while there’s nothing wrong with it, these revelations can be quite surprising for some. Below are 20 such celebrities you might not have known had some type of organ transplant.

Comedic actor Tracy Morgan recently survived a serious accident on a New Jersey highway, but long before that he had been diagnosed with diabetes. It was so severe that he required dialysis or a kidney transplant. A former girlfriend of his, Tanisha Hall, donated one of her kidneys so that he wouldn’t have to undergo dialysis. It likely also saved his life, though her motivations have been under some intense scrutiny through the years. Some believe she hoped to get back together with him after this, but regardless, that didn’t happen.
