This August 13 is celebrated the international day of the left- handed or left-handed, in order to publicize the difficulties that such people can face in their day to day. Let’s see which are the most famous lefties.
This day was born in 1976, at the initiative of the Left Handers International, because lefties have problems in a world designed for right-handers, normally. You have to think that 10% of the population uses the left hand or arm to carry out daily actions.
The most famous lefties, what are they?
Marilyn Monroe
Although the myths surrounding the actress are diverse, it was said that she was left-handed, but it is another myth because it is a fact that has not been fully confirmed.
Leo Messi?
We put him in question, because, although he hits the ball with his left, it has not been shown that he is left-handed, since he signs the autographs with his right hand. Thus, some sources place it as ambidextrous , since it can use both hands and feet differently depending on what it is doing. Whatever it is, and wherever it is, it will continue to be the star of the ball.
Bill Gates
The businessman, founder of Microsoft, is in the news for his contributions to science and especially at a time of pandemic like the current one. Thus, Bill Gates has already said times that he is left-handed and he shows it when he performs various tasks, in the light of all, with his right hand.
Nicole Kidman
One of the most famous and highest paid actresses is also left-handed, so we honor her on this international day of the left-hander. For her acting career she has had to perform some roles where she had to write with her right hand, something complicated for her.
Paul McCartney
Everyone is known as one of the leaders of The Beatles, Paul McCartney plays the guitar with the left, in fact, there are many other left-handed musicians.
Leonardo da Vinci
If we go beyond history, we find key characters, such as Leonardo Da Vinci, who carried out part of his work with the left due to his condition of being left-handed.
Barack Obama
The former president of the United States is left-handed, and he confirmed it to everyone when he signed his first executive order in 2009. He said: “That’s right, I’m a left-handed man, get used to it.” Other presidents of the United States also had this condition , such as Harry S. Truman, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, and George HW Bush.
