Her agent would solely affirm to the press: “She isn’t an alien.”)

So sure, Emmy-nominated actor Jeremy Allen White does certainly have a stomach button. The near-invisible navel is extra clearly seen in different pictures from the marketing campaign, and you may simply see it in these shirtless paparazzi pics from summer time 2023, too.

This was extra possible, in knowledgeable’s opinion, the results of “distracting pubic hair.” In trying to attenuate the hair main as much as and across the space in query, that itty-bitty button bought erased fully. Apparently, on this planet of retouching, “it is not that onerous to lose a tiny stomach button.”
