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

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

Martin Scorsese – complex and brilliant

Taxi Driver was a classic

What did I expect to see from Martin Scorsese’s hands? I know that he is a brilliant movie director famous for dark themes and action films. I expected to find creative brilliance and dark imagination. His hands did not disappoint. 

He has a squarish hand with short fingers, and three of these are decidedly conic, maybe even a little pointed – the Mercury (little) and Jupiter (index)   fingers and the thumb. Scorsese has slightly thick fingers with pronounced third phalanges, shortish second phalanges, and a long, slim, first phalange of Apollo on a prominent finger. He has a long, supple thumb with a long will (first) phalange. He has a fairly long, slightly curved heartline reaching the Jupiter mount and a medium-length, slightly sloping headline which is likely forked. The most prominent mounts on his hands are the Moon, including Lower Moon, Jupiter, Venus and Mercury mounts. That’s a lot of mounts to be well-developed. The first phalange of his Apollo (ring) finger is long. 

You can check out one of his hand photos here.

It’s all there. His creative brilliance is clearly etched on his hand and it’s not only seen in one place. The headline, the curve of the moon mount and his Apollo finger all point to it. But creativity of the genius kind is not a characteristic that can stand alone like an island,

The hands of Joaquin Phoenix the Joker

The world is talking about Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker – a blockbuster. The actor is much written about, as much for his controversial statements (pranks?) as for his extraordinary talent. Some have said he doesn’t like fame but that’s not really true. Joaquin Phoenix's hands may not show him to be money-minded, but he thrives in the limelight.

His hand is a good size, with shortish fingers and a long palm. There are some distinctive features on the hand. For one thing, the Apollo (ring) finger is long and the little finger, although of a decent length, is clearly low-set, and the Jupiter (index) finger is a little short. The second phalanges are shortish but the first and third phalanges are long. The mounts on his hand are developed with the moon (especially Upper Moon) and Venus mounts are well developed. The actor has a good thumb with a normal balance of the first and second phalanges. The lines on the palm are clear enough, with a short girdle of Venus and a Simian line on the right, active hand.

These signs portray a versatile and creative personality, possibly a little over the top. Being a showman

Christopher Nolan – a brilliant director

Christopher Nolan, the Hollywood movie director, is known to be a genius. It is difficult to write about Chris Nolan (the Dark Knight Trilogy and Inception are some of his famous works), especially as one has so little to work with. The photos of his left hand (he is left-handed) which are available on the net are few and also hazy.

The shape of his hand is clearly visible, however. His hands are large, with a broad palm, and seem to be a little stiff. The fingers, tapering at the end, are neither short nor too long, and appear to be evenly set except for the Mercury (little) finger which is a little low-set. His heartline is curved, and the headline though sloping

Marlon Brando - a large-hearted genius

Marlon Brando is a legend. His hands make it clear why he became the star that he was.

Brando had fairly large hands, with a broad, fleshy palm and a long, curvy heartline going towards the area between his first two fingers. He had a shapely thumb of a good size, and it was low-set, nicely waisted, and had a strong will phalange. The mounts of Lower Mars, Venus and Upper Moon were the most well-developed mounts on his hands. The other mounts were developed too. The lines seem clear enough and there is a semblance of a double headline. This second headline

The hands of The Rock: Dwayne Johnson

Writing about Dwayne Johnson’s hands isn’t easy as most of his personality characteristics are well known to the world. He is an open person, perhaps that is why. What new character attribute can his hands reveal? Maybe one can find something on his hand that isn’t so obviously known or something which doesn’t fit his known personality.

Dwayne is a tall man (he is six feet four inches in height) with large, fleshy hands and broad and wide palms, a low-set widely held thumb and heavily developed Moon and Venus mounts and Mars too. The lifeline, slightly apart from the headline, sweeps across the developed mount of Venus, going wider into the palm as it goes forward. These signs reveal his

Ashton Kutcher's hand reading

Ashton Kutcher may not be a very big movie star, but he is a popular one. He was always a bit of an enigma because he married a woman much older than himself – Demi Moore. What brought him into the news again was when he married his childhood co-actor, Mila Kunis, who is nearer his age. What do Kutcher's hands tell us about his personality?

The actor has a broad palm and fine lines, with a gap between his head and lifelines, and a larger gap on the left, passive hand. His heartline dominates the hand and the headline in comparision is not that deeply etched or long. He has a strong Apollo finger, and a slightly bent, low-set Jupiter finger. He has a good thumb, a little low-set and also with a good balance of both its phalanges. These hand features reveal some interesting facts about Kutcher's personality.

The hand reading of Jackie Chan

The hands of Jackie Chan give us a glimpse into the movie star's personality, and explain, to some extent at least, certain controversial things the actor has done in his life, like not batting for freedom. 

The main features of Jackie Chan’s hand are his broad palm, slightly short, broad fingers, a dominant Apollo finger with a spatulate tip, a shortish, bent and low set Jupiter finger, and developed mounts of Moon, Venus and Lower Mars. He has a good thumb, low set, and the top phalange is a little thick, and his little (pinky) and Saturn (middle) fingers are short. His lines are finely etched and the headline slopes in its second part. The heartline is also curved and just about enters the mount of Jupiter.

Can Lindsay Lohan's addictive behaviour be seen on her hand?

Addictions can be of any kind, and famous stars like Lindsay Lohan (alcohol addiction), Philip Hoffman (drug addiction), David Duchovny (sex addiction), and Chris Brown (anger management) are just some examples of celebs who have been in rehab for addictive behaviours. Are there any signs on the hand which can give us a clue as to the root cause of their addictive personalities?

Lindsay Lohan has plump, conic-shaped fingers, with the third phalanges noticeably thick. The palm is broad, but rectangular, and the fingers are on the shorter side. The top phalange of her thumb

Are Mel Gibson and Russel Crowe angry people?

Russell Crowe and Mel Gibson are two world-famous actors from Australia known for their short tempers. What are the underlying issues in their personalities here? Lack of self-control? Or tantrums because of their celebrity status? Or maybe they are being misunderstood? Their hands can reveal the inside story.

At first glance, their hands seem similar - the short fingers, and the large, broad, firm but fleshy palms with the development of Moon, Venus and Mars mounts. The hands do show some similarity in temperament but to a limited extent. Both these men have plenty of energy, and both are fairly excitable, moody, and yes,

Bradley Cooper is distant but not cold

39-year-old actor Bradley Cooper (48 now, in 2023, and still unmarried, with a slew of broken relationships in his past) is another one of the perennial bachelors of Hollywood although he was married briefly. Leonardo DiCaprio is in the same boat, though never married and at 48 (in 2023) also has plenty of broken relationships behind him). George Clooney finally shed his bachelorhood at 53, but what of Bradley Cooper? Can the hand give us any insights as to why he has never managed to have a long-time relationship? 

What is it about his personality that makes him so? Brad’s female fans must wonder what prevents him from being in a long-term committed relationship. Is it because this Hollywood heartthrob is cold and manipulative as

Gay Celebrity Hands

Some celebs have come out of the closet like Elton John (singer), Ellen DeGeneres (talk show host), Neil Patrick Harris (actor), Wentworth Miller (actor), Jodie Foster (actor), Jim Parsons (actor), Matt Bomer (actor), Zachary Quinto (actor) and Ricky Martin (singer). Is their sexual orientation marked somewhere on the hand? Can Palmistry reveal the sexual orientation of a person?

There are different

Wentworth Miller's hand reading

Wentworth Miller’s hand is one of the good ones when one compares it to the hands of other celebrities and successful people  It shows a calm and inwardly strong temperament. And it shows a very good heart as well.

Wentworth has claimed that he tried to kill himself when he was 15 (because of some issues regarding his sexual orientation) but when one looks for the signs of a suicidal person,

Denzel Washington is an uncomplicated guy

What struck me most about Denzel Washington’s hands was the difference in the Headline in the left passive and right active hands. The Headline is better on the right hand, and this by itself shows that this man is self-made. Denzel did not inherit the level of focus, determination and self-control that is seen in the personality he has today. He has developed these personality characteristics. Also to be noted is the wider gap between his Head and Lifelines on the right active hand. This enhances the quality of

Why is Leonardo DiCaprio unmarried?

Many Hollywood stars marry once or twice, if not thrice. However, Leonardo DiCaprio is a known player and doesn't show any signs of getting married. He doesn't seem to want to marry. What makes him different from his famous colleagues in Hollywood? Reading his hand was the nearest I could get to an answer.

The dominant personality traits shown by his hand is an enjoyment of solitude, high sensitivity and imagination that can border on the morbid. His hand also shows moodiness, with a certain amount of self-centeredness and restlessness. 

There are other reasons why Leonardo could be a commitment-phobe. 

Sylvester Stallone's hand reading

Sylvester Stallone may well be a talented guy, and is neither manipulative nor selfish, but his personality (as shown by his hands) is that of a person who is passionate, emotionally volatile and impulsive and he can be difficult to live with. He has high energy levels and his hands tell a story of a person who likes to live his life to the fullest. Stallone's tendency to be unpredictable is accentuated as he thinks and acts quickly. His hands also show a very high physical sex drive and coupled with his impulsive nature, it would be difficult for him to be faithful to his partner. To counter such a passionate nature, one needs more self-control than the

Ben Affleck's Hand Reading

Ben Affleck's personality must be a very pleasant one because he has a beautifully shaped hand, with long slim fingers, some of them waisted, and a very broad palm, one of the largest I have seen and the fingers are medium-length, if not long. The mounts are not too heavily developed, and the mounts which are well developed are Venus and the Mount of Moon. The thumb is also waisted, a little low-set and longer than normal. The lines on his palm are fine, the heart line long and straightish and the headline a little uneven and seems to be joined considerably with the lifeline. The Jupiter (index) finger seems a little short and the Mercury (pinky) finger a little long.

All of this points to a finely balanced, generous, unselfish, compassionate, and warm person with strength of character and it also shows,
