Handsomest man with false teeth

Clark GableHE was one of the sexiest men in showbiz with his dark brooding looks but Clark Gable was a bit challenged when it came to his teeth. Gable’s former co-star and love interest Anita Page reveals that the actor had false teeth and that ‘rotting stubs in his jaw smelt something awful’.

However, despite this fact, she insists that there were still plenty of women throwing themselves on the star, including her. "I worked with Clark Gable in The Easiest Way [1931]," the Daily Express quoted her as saying.

"One day on the set all these girls arrived. ‘Oh, Mr Gable,’ they squawked at once. ‘You are so handsome,’ they said, and went on and on. Anyway, when they left, I turned to Clark and said, ‘Hey gorgeous, how does it feel to be God’s gift to women?’ "‘Wanna see?’ he said.

"I nodded, blushing a little. He took a piece of candy from his blazer pocket and had a bite, and to my horror, as he chewed he pulled his false teeth out! They had stuck solid into the gums. I stood open-mouthed and then we both started laughing.’’

"He said to me. "So, my darling, what do you think of me now?’ The rotting stubs in his jaw smelt something awful. But Gable did have a great sense of humour. So I didn’t mind too much. — ANI
