Kim Kardashian’s latest Instagram post has left some fans scratching their heads, as a recent picture appeared to show the celebrity with an extra thumb.
The photo, part of a series shared by Kim from this year’s Christmas celebrations, sparked a flurry of comments focusing on this peculiar detail.
One fan was quick to point out the anomaly, asking, “why do you have two thumbs in pic 4?” This query was echoed by several others who also noticed the ‘extra thumb’ in the shot. On closer inspection, it does seem like Kim has two thumbs on her right hand. However, given the amount of time Kim spends in the spotlight, it’s unlikely that such a feature would have gone unnoticed until now.
Some fans offered a plausible explanation, suggesting that it was probably just a case of Kim pressing her hands together. This positioning might have caused the camera lens to miss one of her hands, while her left thumb appeared to be attached to her other hand, thus solving the mystery.
This isn’t the first time Kardashian’s fans have been puzzled over her digits. Back in 2020, some thought she had six toes on one foot. Kim quickly addressed these speculations, explaining in a video that when she wears shoes, they squash a part of her foot down, making it look like an extra toe from a distance. “Pitchforks down gang, it’s just what someone’s foot looks like when they’re wearing shoes, no signs of witchcraft here,” she clarified.
The confusion over Kim’s Christmas photo adds to the list of celebrity-related optical illusions that have baffled fans in the past. For instance, this year’s Christmas card from the Prince of Wales and his family raised eyebrows as it appeared Prince Louis was missing a finger. Such incidents often lead to speculation about bad photoshop jobs or the use of AI in editing pictures, a technology that notably struggles with accurately depicting hands and feet, a challenge even human artists face.
