Holly Willoughby says facial features reveal your character - maybe she's right
Are you kind, trustworthy, selfless or brave? The answer is written all over your face… or at least that is what This Morning host Holly Willoughby seems to believe.
The veteran TV presenter and now wellness entrepreneur, 42, recently enlisted a “life healer” to write a “face-reading guide” for her lifestyle brand, Wylde Moon.
Face reading is the ancient art of assessing someone’s character traits based on their facial features... apparently.
But does the shape of your face, the dimple in your chin or the size of your forehead really tell anyone anything about you?
Let’s face it (pun intended), probably not. But we thought we’d test it on a few of the world’s most famous visages just to see...

Full lips
Having fuller lips can indicate generosity and people who have these are said to always be looking to help others.
This is certainly true of Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie, who is known for her humanitarian work. She has spent nearly two decades working with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, travelling to war-torn countries.
Tory Michael Gove also has a fuller mouth but was not seen as generous when he cut £400million from school budgets in 2014 – and earlier this year suggested stopping child benefit for parents of truants.

Thinner lips are supposed to show a person is serious and hardworking.
Actress Emma Watson, who played clever witch Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films, is similar to her character. She has a degree from Brown University in America, tirelessly advocates for gender equality and works as a UN ambassador.
Former PM Liz Truss also has a smaller pout. But can someone best remembered for failing to outlast a lettuce really be classed as serious?
Wider-set eyes
If your eyes are closer together than most, you should rejoice because it could mean that you are good at concentrating.
Serbian tennis ace Novak Djokovic has close-set eyes and has won a whopping 23 grand slams – so he is clearly
a man who knows how to concentrate.
On the other hand, former Prime Minister Boris Johnson has similar peepers and is notorious for having the concentration span of a goldfish...

People with dimples are said to be very creative and lucky.

Film star John Travolta certainly struck it lucky with his role in Grease, getting to showcase his creative side with all that warbling and dancing. And then he hit the jackpot again in the career-rebooting Pulp Fiction.
Meanwhile, dimpled Henry Cavill is no doubt creative but was less lucky when he quit The Witcher to reprise his role as Superman with DC… only to be axed soon after.
Big forehead
If a person has a large forehead, they are thought to be intellectual, analytical and keen to learn.
Supermodel Tyra Banks might have made her name on the catwalk and on TV, amassing £70million, but the desire to learn never left her.
In 2012, Tyra went to Harvard Business School to complete a diploma. However, while TV host Jeremy Clarkson obviously has his talents, he hardly shone at school – he managed two U grades and a C at A level.

Alan Sugar (Corbis via Getty Images)Round face
A round face signifies empathy, friendliness and an easy-going nature. Singer Selena Gomez is always encouraging fans to be kind and working with UNICEF to help children in need.
She also doesn’t take herself too seriously, even hosting cooking show Selena + Chef, poking fun at her lack of culinary skill.
But many Apprentice hopefuls might think Sir Alan Sugar doesn’t quite live up to the profile after hearing: “You’re fired.”
Oblong face
People with oblong faces are supposed to be gentle by nature.
Actress Liv Tyler, who played the etheral half-elven Arwen in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, describes herself as sensitive and is a passionate practitioner of transcendental meditation – which sounds pretty gentle
to us!
On the flipside, boxing star Anthony Joshua also has an oblong-shaped head but we don’t think he would want to be described as gentle while lording it in the ring!

If you have a square face, it means you are determined and headstrong.
This is certainly the case for fiery former X Factor judge Sharon Osborne. The media personality is a force to be reckoned with and always speaks her mind.
Footballer Harry Maguire also has a square face – his nickname from ex-teammate Jamie Vardy was Slabhead.
And he seems to have been determined to stay on at Manchester United even though he was dropped as captain.
Sharon Osbourne (Getty Images)Prominent eyes
Those of you with big eyes will be pleased to learn that according to face reading this makes you approachable and friendly people.
Wide-eyed actress Mila Kunis is known for her charming personality with no airs and graces. Mila was born in Ukraine and she set up a charity to raise millions in support of her war torn homeland - being an effective campaigner requires likability.
Mila Kunis (FilmMagic)Fifties screen icon Bette Davis was also known for her big eyes, but she certainly wasn’t as approachable. The actress would tell reporters she was descended from a witch, and allegedly placed a demonic curse on her own family.
