1. Miles Mcmillian

Initially he came to fame for his World of Warcraft videos and later with gaming culture and political commentary. Asmongold has a moderate, leaning on severe case of Pectus Excavatum. It can be seen better from the side. He has flared ribs, as well as ‘pectus posture’ consisting of hyper-lordosis and ‘pot-belly’.
3. Patrick Dempsey
Patrick Dempsey is an American actor, best known for his role as Dr. Derek “McDreamy” Shepherd on the television series Grey’s Anatomy. Patrick doesn’t have a severe case of Pectus Excavatum, but it’s very mild but still visible. In a mild case such as this, the Vacuum Bell for Pectus Excavatum is an ideal choice of treatment.
4. Parker Cannon
Parker Cannon is most known for his role as singer in punk band ‘The Story So Far’, He has a very severe case of Pectus Excavatum that could only be fixed by surgery. Despite all this, he doesn’t mind taking his shirt off a lot when he’s in front of a crowd.

His ribs make the condition look worse than it is, and he might benefit from wearing a rib-brace to bring the ribs back in.
6. Brendan Fraser
A highly known and famous celebrity, Brendan Fraser is most well known for his roles in George of The Jungle and The Mummy. Brendan is interesting, in that he has pretty noticeable Pectus Excavatum that is well covered by a muscular physique. Most people who watch George of The Jungle (where he’s shirtless for most of the film) wouldn’t even notice he has Pectus.
7. Thomas Ceccon
Another famous athlete on this list is Thomas Ceccon, an Italian swimmer and world record holder in the long course 100 metre backstroke and the short course 4×100 metre freestyle relay. It’s hard to tell how severe his Pectus is because of his well-developed pectoral muscles. However you can see moderate rib-flare and a pretty deep indent right in the middle of his chest. Either way, he is part of many athletes are still very competitive despite their Pectus.
8. Patrick Swayze
Patrick Swayze was an American actor, dancer, and singer best known for starring in iconic films like Dirty Dancing as well as Ghost. Patrick had a pretty mild case of Pectus Excavatum, which is only really noticeable at certain angles. It’s highly likely most people with an untrained eye would even notice.

Nick Zano is an American actor most known for his roles as Nate Heywood/Citizen Steel in Legends of Tomorrow and Vince in What I Like About You. Nate has never been shy to take his shirt off despite having a moderate case of Pectus Excavatum. His well-built physique is a great example of why exercise for Pectus Excavatum is so important. His body is highly aesthetic to most women, even with a sunken chest.
10. Steve Reeves

Steve was also a legendary (even to this day) bodybuilder who won numerous titles in the Mr. America and Mr. Universe competitions. His Pectus Excavatum did not detract from his legendary physique at all, even by today’s standard. I’ve put Steve last here because i think he really shows that anything is attainable with Pectus Excavatum.
