Waardenburg syndrome and Joaquin Phoenix.

Waardenburg syndrome and Joaquin Phoenix.

This is filed under hearing loss since the Waardenburg syndromes are leading causes of genetic hearing loss.  Obviously unless he' s wearing undetectable hearing aids, the actor Joaquin Phoenix isn't deaf.   However his one eye is green and the other one is blue. Pic of Joaquin Phoenix.  Plus he has a unilateral microform cleft.  Clefts can a part of the disorder.  His eyebrows are on the thick side and tend to run together.  These can be signs of the genetic disorder.  
OTOH I don't want to jump to conclusions since these physical traits may be caused by other conditions and not be part of any syndrome.
