Adrien Brody – the intelligent actor

Adrien Brody is listed by Time as one of the world's 100 most influential people globally. He’s won two Academy Awards, as well as a British Academy Film Award and a Golden Globe Award, in addition to nominations for Emmy Awards and a Laurence Olivier Award. He started his acting career early and often those who start careers early have some kind of genetic predisposition to the work. His parents were not actors, but he had a flair for it from a young age. Do his hands show that? 

Lee Joon-gi - the shy and introverted actor

One of the best South Korean actors today is Lee Joon-gi. After admiring his work in the K-drama series, Flower of Evil, one cannot help but be curious about his personality. Actors are private people and Lee Joon-gi is more so than most. Reading his hand is the only way to uncover the many layers of his persona. 

Lee Joon-gi has biggish hands, a broad palm and medium length fingers, with a low-set and long thumb. His fingers are mostly straight, although the Mercury (pinky) finger is bent. The Jupiter (index) finger is low-set, although it seems to be of normal length. The middle phalanges of the fingers are not too long but very slim; first phalanges are long; third phalanges are not developed, and could be on the shorter side or may be just about average. The head and life lines are joint considerably, till almost Saturn (middle) finger. The headline tends to dip downwards after some time, a little sharply. The heartline is curved, long and forked.

He is right-handed, which means the right is the active hand which shows his current personality and the left the passive, showing the subconscious and/or past traits. It is by comparing the two hands

Sense of Humour - can your hand show it?

Do comedians’ hands have anything in common at all? If they did, it would mean they have similar personalities … but seems unlikely, doesn't it, because there are all types of humour out there. And is there a sign on the hand which tells you that a person has a sense of humour?

I picked four world-famous comedians’ hands: Jimmy Fallon, Joe Rogan, Trevor Noah and Stephen Colbert. I have not seen any of their shows, except for a couple of Colbert's shows. All of these comics possess a sense of humour, obviously, but is that quality evident on the hand? We already know that there is no such thing as a blanket sense of humour as comedians have different styles.

Wang Yibo - an actor and a philosopical man

The swanky Wang Yibo is a Chinese actor, dancer, singer, rapper, and professional motorcycle racer. Quite a versatile celebrity, and one of the most famous in China.

His hand is unique, in the sense that it is large. Sure, people do have large hands, but it is not so common. That is perhaps why there are many mentions of Wang Yibo’s large hands. Large hands have significance in palmistry, but their significance can never be understood fully unless one takes into account the hand as a whole.

Kiara Advani – an actor with a future

It’s said that Kiara Advani is one of the most promising stars in Bollywood today. Her hand is good, in the sense it shows talent, sensitivity and a strong character. What's even better – her hand shows her to be a genuinely nice girl.

Her hand is a long one, with a big thumb and a good first phalange of the thumb. The lines are fairly clear, slightly curved, and there is a gap between the head and life lines. The Saturn (middle) finger is significantly bent although the others are not. The little (pinky) finger is relatively short if one compares it to the other fingers, and is low-set and held apart. The tips of the fingers are either conic or rounded and the most prominent mounts on her hand are the Jupiter and Lower Mars mounts, although the mount of Moon is developed too.

Her hand tells us that she is not likely to be a complex person, nor does she have a secretive, manipulative nature. Her

Kriti Sanon - shrewd and ambitious

Kriti Sanon is one of the notable actresses in Hindi cinema in 2023, with several hits under her belt. She is pretty and talented. What about her future? Will she last in Bollywood? She is here for nine years already and that does say something about her staying power. Whether she lasts for another decade or even another five years, depends a lot on what she wants from life and who she is.

The hand can tell us a little about who she really is. Considering that she comes from a non-filmi background, her hand will probably have a story to tell because her life took an unexpected turn and it might even tell us about how she made it in this cutthroat film industry. There are hundreds of pretty faces, but Kriti Sanon must have something special about her.

Park Eun-bin – why is she still single?

South Korean Park Eun-bin started off as a child actor and today is quite a well-known actress in Korea. She is over 30 years old and single, and has apparently never been in a serious relationship! She says she has never dated. Beautiful and talented, and yet, no time for romantic relationships? What do her hand say about this aspect of her personality?

She has a largish palm and the thumb is conic-tipped with a strong first phalange and slim second. The Mercury (pinky) and Jupiter (index) fingers are conic-tipped too. The thumb is held close to her hand but the Mercury finger is held a little apart and is also low-set. The Saturn (middle) finger seems a little bent as does the Jupiter finger although much less. Overall, the

Hands of Attention-Seekers - Uorfi, Rakhi, Donald, Charlie, Rahul and Kim!

Attention-seeking behaviour is known to have psychological causes, due to low self-esteem, jealousy or loneliness, or it can be a psychological condition. All of us know about attention-seeking celebrities and maybe some people in real life as well. Why do these people do what they do? Is it a part of some grand plan or is just what it is… a desperate desire to be the central attraction?

I have selected an odd bunch of people to write about, those who

Jennifer Lawrence - Bright and sensitive!

It’s difficult to pin Jennifer Lawrence down or get her to reveal much about herself. Her hand tells us that she is a private person and a very sensitive one at that – sensitive with great sensitivity to the environment and people around her. No wonder she is such a good actor!

She was in the news because of leaked private photos of her (the guy who did that to her went to jail for just 18 months) and after seeing her hand one realises how upset and outraged she must have been. Anyone would be, but as Jennifer is more sensitive and delicate than most people, it would have been quite agonizing; something she’ll find difficult

Kartik Aaryan - is he the right fit for Bollywood?

Kartik Aaryan is a popular Bollywood star. He has made waves in more ways than one, but one should take these things with a pinch of salt as Bollywood has its own rules which a newcomer might find it difficult to navigate. Talent is the only thing that should count, and in the case of actors, looks and style as well. Apparently, Kartik has these three aspects in good measure…but does he have the right personality to make it in Bollywood?

His hand has a broad palm and fingers of a good length, which have a mix of conic and rounded tips. The Jupiter (index) finger is high-set, conic, and a little bent, but it is of normal length. The other fingers are of normal length as well, and not significantly bent. Kartik has a good thumb, it’s long with a conic tip. The lines on his palm are dark, possibly a little thick. 

The palm lines on Kartik Aaryan’s hand are intriguing as it is possible that he has two headlines.

Britney Spears - level headed woman!

Britney Spears is written about endlessly and one can’t help but be curious about what her hand reveals about her personality. The media often gives the impression that Britney is vulnerable and weak, and not too sensible. But this characterisation is likely to be wrong as her hands do not show this. Britney's hands reveal a stable, sensible person. Why this contradiction between the Britney persona created by the media and the real Britney? That is a difficult question to answer but likely because the media loves writing about celebs this way.

Britney has a longish palm with fingers on the shorter side and her head and heart lines are clearly etched, although the headline shows a slight waviness. A few of her fingers appear bent, particularly the pinky which is also low-set. Her fingers are tapering at the end with a few sensitive pads. The thumb is quite good with a nice balance of the

Tom Hardy – Sensitive and Tough!

Tom Hardy’s personality, as shown on his hand, reveals deep-seated emotions; emotions he has likely suppressed. Perhaps acting helps release these pent-up emotions. There is a lot of energy which exudes from his hand, and this is not about physical energy, but mental. He feels very intensely about things and at times it can be hard for him to

Kento Yamazaki - balanced and thoughtful

Kento Yamazaki is a popular, young Japanese actor. His personality is the thoughtful, cool-headed type, and behind that exterior burns a great desire for excellence. This is what is revealed by his hands.

His hands are largish, with long fingers and a long palm. The fingers are waisted, with prominent second knots and the first phalange of his fingers are long, with either squarish or tapering tips. The third phalanges of his Jupiter (index) finger and Saturn (middle finger) are also long but neither of these are thick. The lines of heart and head are well-marked and above-average in length, with the headline leaving the lifeline a little later than it normally does. The lifeline is well etched too, and its position is a little outward, not close to the thumb. The mounts of Jupiter, Mars and Mercury are developed, but not excessively.

The fate (Saturn) line and the sun (apollo) line can hardly be seen on the hand but that does not mean

Volodymyr Zelensky - an actor and a politician

You might think that actors and comedians shouldn’t become politicians because they aren't suited for politics…but don’t be too sure. Actors have always dabbled in politics in many countries including America and India, and of course…Ukraine.

To say that actors make good politicians would be stretching it…but to say that some qualities that actors possess could make politicians very successful – that’s likely. For example, charisma and a desire for fame and name and of course…acting ability. Politicians wear a mask – they have to. It’s in the very nature of their job.

To be fair, Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukraine's President, is more than just an actor. His hand

Madhuri Dixit - sweet and determined!

Madhuri Dixit reached the top in Bollywood and then about two decades ago gave it up temporarily to lead a family life. She has always been known as not just one of the most beautiful actors in the Hindi film industry but also one of the most talented. She is in her fifties now, but is still quite active in her profession. Curiosity about her never wanes and this hand reading has been much delayed.

Her hand is not too much of a surprise. Madhuri has long fingers, a slightly longish palm with slim slightly pointy finger tips. The thumb is long with a long first phalange and the lines too are long, uniquely so. The headline is joined considerably with the lifeline and goes across the hand, sloping a little. The heart line too is long, crossing the Jupiter mount and going to the edge of hand. The lifeline is long too, reaching the base of the hand and the fateline commences at the base of the hand and reaches the Saturn mount.

Her hands reveals a personality which is idealistic and impressionable. She is a person who has strong ethics in life, knows who she is, and is likely to stick to her principles even if not all that practical. Yes, this can mean losing out

Jun Ji-hyun's personality from her hands

Jun Ji-hyun, an award-winning Korean actress and model, rose to fame in the 2001 romantic comedy (film) called "The Sassy Girl." Since then, she has delivered many hits in the Korean film and television industry. 

From her hand, it becomes obvious that Ji-hyun's personality shows a natural style of acting. Her boldness, lack of inhibitions while acting and the ability to slip into any character she plays are evident on her hand. Her ability to mimic is extraordinary.

Jun Ji-hyun has a long hand with long fingers, and her Mercury finger, in particular, is very long. The lines on her palm are fine and delicately etched and there is at least a part of a Girdle of Venus present above the heartline. Her heartline is very long, reaching almost to the base of

Song Hye-kyo's personality through her hands

Song Hye-kyo, a beautiful and talented South Korean actor, is very popular in South-East Asia even now, after being in the entertainment industry for over 20 years. She is one of the highest-paid actresses in Korea today. 

She has soft, refined-looking hands, with long, tapering fingers and long, fine lines. Her thumb is long and held close to the hand. While the Moon mount is developed, the Mars and Venus mounts are not. She has a curved heartline rising to a place in-between the first two fingers, a long slightly curved headline (attached to the lifeline) going near to the edge of the hand. The Saturn or Fate line on her hand is long too, starting near the base of the hand and reaching up to the base of the Saturn finger. 

Her hand shows her to be very sensitive and to some extent, an introverted, impressionable personality. She has a tendency to be secretive and is also a private person. She is not outwardly warm,

Hyun Bin – what is his personality like?

Hyun Bin (real name: Kim Tae-Pyung) is arguably the best-looking actor in South Korea, and talented too. He has been acting for over 15 years now, with a series of hits under his belt, the more recent one being the romance series, Crash Landing On You, streaming on Netflix currently.

His hand is a good one, with a broad palm, a bit fleshy, more so because of the well-developed mounts of Moon and Venus. His heart and head lines are balanced with each other, well etched. The headline is attached to the lifeline considerably at the beginning. The heartline has a wide fork at the end although the fork is not as dark and strong as the rest of the line. The fateline starts with a fork with one branch either attached to the lifeline or there is a line connecting the fateline and the lifeline.

His thumb is a little low-set, with a good balance of both phalanges. Overall, Hyun Bin’s first phalanges are long and the second phalanges are average in length. The Saturn (middle) and Jupiter (first) fingers are a little

Takeru Satoh's hands reveal his talent

Takeru Satoh is known to be of a calm, humble, down-to-earth temperament. Do his hands prove that his personality is actually like that?

Takeru Satoh is a 32-year old Japanese actor, from a film industry that is one of the oldest in the world and the fourth largest in terms of the number of films. He is known for his leading roles in the Kamen Rider Den-O franchise and in the live-action Rurouni Kenshin films.

His hands have large, broad palms and fingers which are more long than short. The Apollo (ring) finger is dominant. Two fingers, the Saturn (middle) and Apollo (ring) fingers have spatulate tips though this is more pronounced on his left, passive hand. The first phalanges of his fingers are long and the thumb is a good length, with a normal length of the Will (first) phalange and the Logic (second) phalange.

The Saturn (middle) finger looks a little short as compared to the ring finger and interestingly, Takeru wears

Lee Min-ho's personality from his hands

Lee Min-ho, a famous actor from South Korea, is considered one of the most good-looking and successful actors out there and is a top Hallyu star as well. He has been in the entertainment industry since 2003. As he is only 34, he still has many good years ahead of him

He has beautiful fingers, slim and tapering, with good first phalanges. The fingers aren't long as compared to his palm and they are quite balanced with each other. The Jupiter (index) fingertip is conic, maybe even pointed, but the other fingers have conic or rounded tips. His fingers are straight, except perhaps his Saturn (middle finger). The Jupiter finger is low-set and also seems a little short as compared to the Saturn (middle) finger. Both his Apollo (ring) and Saturn fingers are of good length.

Min-ho also has a large, fleshy palm, rectangular in shape and fine lines. His thumb is normal with balanced first and second phalanges, although it appears to be a little high-set. The mounts of Moon and Venus are very pronounced and dominate his palm.

The lines are not that clearly visible in the photos available on the net but from whatever little one can see, the headline starts high and straight but dips down into the Moon mount halfway through its length. The heartline is not too long. The lifeline is fainter in the last half. A second fateline starts from the Upper Mars mount.
