Jennifer Hudson is the undisputed queen of foot corns that can cause pain and discomfort when you walk. However, she’s far from the only celebrity to suffer from corny feet and busted toes.
A surprising number of beautiful celebrities we see on the big and small screen have an ugly body part: their feet. As you will see below, even the most attractive among us can have nasty feet and jacked up toes.

Foot corns, small circles of thick skin, are often caused by poorly fitting shoes. Heels that are too loose can allow your foot to slide and rub. There are also some footwear designs that place excessive pressure on an area of the foot.
Wearing high heels for too long can squeeze your toes and cause other damage to your feet. Toe corns can also develop as a symptom of bunions and other foot problems.
