19. Alexander Ovechkin
The first of a couple of athletes on our list, Alexander Ovechkin is one of those guys who has a case of hockey player teeth. These are also known colloquially as “summer teeth” (some’r here, some’r there). He’s one of the NHL’s best goal scorers (of the past decades) and while some guys rely on finesse alone to put the pick in the net, Ovie plays an aggressive game, throws hits and isn’t afraid to go anywhere. He can’t play defense to save his life, but that’s another story.
His ruthless play has paid off however, in the form of a few lost and crooked teeth, a net worth of over $100 million and a list of gorgeous ex-girlfriends that include models, a tennis player (Maria Kirilenko) and of course a fiancee, whose name is Nastya, but does not mean “nasty” in any way. While Ovie isn’t the worst case of hockey teeth (look up Mike Ricci, Bobby Clarke and Duncan Keith for better examples), the Russian goal-scorer is one of the best known players in the world right now, with significant actual celebrity status.
18. John Lydon
British musician John Lydon, who most people know as Johnny Rotten of the early punk band the Sex Pistols, is a musical icon in Britain and around the world for his contributions to music and counterculture. Despite his anti-establishment music and general attitude, he’s actually made some fairly pro-monarchy comments, especially about the Queen, so you’ll just have to figure that one out for yourself, because we can’t.
Lydon’s rebellious attitude may have also caused him to act out against oral hygiene as he has a missing tooth, while most of the ones that are still in there are discolored and a few are chipped. Too bad the band wasn’t called the “Sex Toothbrushes” or the “Floss Pistols”. Neither of those have the same ring, though.
