Sanpaku eyes

It just looks crazy if you can see whites Iver and under the irises.

people whose eyes roll around in their heads like grapes are gross. Like Lars Ulrich.

Marty Feldman begged to differ.

R3 Feldman had hypothyroidism

R4 = fun at parties.

James Dean was another example

Hey, I'm turning 75 next week and my birthday present is that you bitches leave me out of this post!??! Stop!

My father was into this.

R7 Diana Ross is another good example . I wonder if her daughter Tracee inherited them.

R10 Kennedy had them below the irises which is supposedly means they are prone to victimhood or accidents. Above the irises, like Manson is a sign of madness. Many would dismiss sanpaku as superstition but I still find this interesting.

The dark knight shooter, James Holmes also has this trait. Perhaps it really does correlate to something neurological.

Adam Lanza has the white showing above the iris which portends mental illness. In many pictures Princess Diana shows the white underneath the iris.

Is "Crazy Eyes" the colloquialism for this?

R13 Very intriguing

R14 The whites showing above the eyes are crazy eyes. If they are visible below then they are unlucky eyes. Or so the Japanese say.

Sometimes crazy eyes are just crazy eyes.

Canada's most notorious female serial killer Karla Homolka

R18 freaky.

Take a gander at Elizabeth Holmes.

"Jeepers, Creepers, where'd you get those peepers? Jeepers, Creepers, where'd you get those eyes?"

Johnny Mercer and Harry Warren, songwriters

R20 This woman's craziness can be seen from outer space. She looks like a meme.

I am wondering if anyone has eyes like that in my family.

There is a book on this, I think the title is "You Are All Sanpaku". Someone I knew who was practiced macrobiotics was into all of this. I notice it is true. The people I have encountered in life with sanpaku eyes always had tragic lives and such. Always. IIRC, I think the book helped to popularize macrobiotics. Can anyone out there shed some light on this?

The worst case of white below the eyes that I have seen.

Also OP, you're a silly rube!

Above = madness

Anyone can have this if they're looking up. Some of these might just be that particular photo angle.

I believe there could be something to it. Diane Downs is another sanpaku eyed loon.

Yeah, you have to see the person head on, looking straight ahead, you can't tell if they're looking off to the side, or up.

Audrina

A lot if people who get arrested have them. Just look at any mugshot website. Sclera galore!

Google figure skater Patrick Chan.

I wonder how psychosis influences how wide someone opens their eyes?

R34 Fascinating question. So many psychotics have that wide open stare.

Lady Gaga

Poor, doomed Shelley.

Freaks, all of them.

R18 That really is disturbing

When I was 10 or 11 I made the great voyage from the children's section of the library into the adult section, and one of the first books I borrowed was "You Are All Sanpaku." At the time it was not convincing nor did it seem to try to be, it was disturbing and I knew enough not to dwell on it or worry.

Now I wonder if it is primarily about Japanese people whose eyes are different than western eyes, and being more almond shaped are less likely to be sanpaku in a normal state. (My ex-husband is Japanese.) Some of the photos linked above like Princess Diana and Karla Holmoka are shot from an angle where the head is tilting down but the eyes are raised, so if you try that yourselves in the mirror you will also be sanpaku.

Now, Elizabeth Holmes, there is an example!
