Ruggedly handsome Oscar winner Joaquin Phoenix is often recognized for his intense performances, but keen-eyed fans have also noticed a distinctive feature on his face: a small, vertical gap in the facial hair above his upper lip.

The space, located just to the left of his philtrum, has appeared in photos of Phoenix for decades. It resembles the type of scar left from a surgical repair of a congenital cleft lip and/or palate, a condition that the Mayo Clinic notes is among the most common birth defects, developing during the first trimester of pregnancy.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) explains that cleft lip and palate can occur separately or together, and repair typically leaves a visible mark. This has led to widespread speculation that Phoenix may have undergone such surgery as a child.

However, Phoenix has never publicly confirmed having been born with a cleft lip or palate, nor has he addressed whether the mark is the result of surgery. The feature has been visible for as long as he’s been in the public eye, suggesting it’s a long-standing part of his appearance.

Martin Short and Meryl Streepcomedy legend and the press starts simmering, sometimes the smartest move is silence. That appears to be the route chosen by Martin Short and Meryl Streep, whose rumored romance emerged quietly, only to be met with gentle deflection — “We don’t want the pressure of a label,” insiders say. A Whispered Debut: From Stage to Sniff-Test Speculation began after the two were seen backstage at a play in April, laughing inside a corner cubby of the audience balcony. Almost overnight, reels noted their proximity: shared commentary after curtain call, sync’d cab rides, private dinners—yet no announcement. Neither star has acknowledged friendship nor flirtation. Instead, they've quoted emphatic neutrality: no labels, no scripts. Just quiet. Why the Press Rose to the Occasion As two actors with Golden Globes, Oscars, and decades-spanning careers, anything they do commands airtime. Streep’s legacy stretches from Sophie’s Choice to The Devil Wears Prada. Shadowing her now is Martin Short—uber-witty, capable of stealing scenes in Three Amigos and Only Murders in the Building. Together, they've crossed Red carpets and talk-show laughs. But pairing them? That’s paparazzi catnip. Still, the duo’s refusal to fan rumors adds intrigue beyond headlines. “We’re Friends” or “More than That”? Sources close to Short say he welcomes their dinners in New York but balks at romantic labels. “He laughs it off, talks about her as a dear friend—nothing more,” said one collaborator. For her part, Streep reportedly said in an interview: “We are just two friends enjoying a meal.” Yet fans insist there’s warmth beyond friendship. A Reddit community theorized: “Platonic marvels, Hollywood legends knowing no age.” Meanwhile, gossip columns lean into nostalgia: “Golden Age Rom-Com Potential?” What Each Stands to Gain—or Lose Streep has maintained an impeccable, discreet persona through decade‑spanning marriages and personal loss. By not addressing the romance rumors, she retains full control over her narrative. Martin Short, meanwhile, is occasionally mistaken for every shorter comedian over 60. A headline confirming romance with Meryl could feel simultaneously hilarious and career-locking. For both, denying pressure is liberation: no obligation to conform to public expectations. They can dine, chat, and carry on without press cycles tracking every movement. Public Reaction: Cheeky, Skeptical, and Meme‑Ready Across X, fans abided by buzz: “Meryl and Martin together? We need The Princess Diaries 3.” “Two legends avoiding PR like it’s the draft board. Respect.” Reddit threads predict the next power couple—only to quickly label it: “Platonic perfection.” On Instagram, fan edits mash Streep’s intensity with Short’s quip-worthy grin. Vocal skepticism includes: “Let them work, not romance spec.” Hollywood’s Lessons in Not Needing to Announce What this reveals: fame doesn’t obligate disclosure. Increased visibility no longer expects confessions or declarations of romance. Instead, it sees restraint as strength. The duo’s unspoken boundary acts as a protective shell around personal life. Once upon a time, romances were announced with press tours. Now, they’re survived through silence—until both stars are ready, or not ready at all. What’s Next for Streep and Short? Unless one decides to “go public,” expect further ambiguous moments: dinner sightings, award-show wave-offs, shared philanthropic brush-offs. They may stay friends—or not. But regardless, the speculation is good for Hollywood nostalgia and fan suspense. Final Take: Wisdom of Hollywood Longevity Martin Short and Meryl Streep aren’t denying affection—they’re denying external definition. For two icons built on craft rather than headlines, refusing the label is another act of wisdom. Delivering quiet dignity when rumors swirl may well be their most artful performance yet.

Phoenix isn’t the only public figure with a similar trait. The late Oscar-winning actor José Ferrer and civil rights leader Rev. Jesse Jackson have also been known for distinctive upper lip markings that some have associated with repaired cleft lips.

Whatever the origin, Phoenix’s facial mark remains part of his unmistakable look — one that fans have seen in everything from Gladiator to Joker.
