16. Kurt Cobain
Via mtv.com
If you thought that Nirvana front man Kurt Cobain was twisted, then you have no idea. He too had scoliosis, as well as pretty bad stomach pain. He said in an interview that his pain was where he got a lot of the screaming from, and that the irritation and burning down there was reproduced in his singing. In middle school he was plagued with a mild form of scoliosis, which carried over into his adult life. He said that holding and playing a heavy guitar didn’t help his scoliosis at all and that when he stood up regularly, everything was twisted sideways.
15. Shailene Woodley
She is gorgeous and a great actress, whether she is playing a pregnant teenager or a crime-fighting young woman. Yet Shailene Woodley fights her own battle: one against scoliosis. She was first diagnosed with the disease when she was 15. Actually, her best friend spotted something strange about her spine and then Shailene donned a back brace for two years in order to correct the damage. She had a 38-degree curve in her spine, which did not require an operation, but did necessitate a brace. It was annoying, but after two years she was able to strap it off for good!
