Henning Wehn illness
Wehn suffers from Waardenburg Syndrome.
This is a group of rare genetic conditions characterized by some degree of congenital hearing loss and pigmentation deficiencies.
Symptoms of the condition include deafness and light-colored skin, hair and eyes, drooping eyes, double vision and light sensitivity.
Although it hasn’t been proven, Wehn’s Waardenburg Syndrome is probably connected to his eye issue.
Wehn has also reported having dry eye syndrome, which is a condition in which the eyes do not produce enough tears, resulting in irritation, redness and impaired vision.
Henning Wehn eyes
Wehn has blue eyes.
He has said that he is often mistaken for being Swedish or Danish because of his eyes, but he is actually German.
His eyes are a prominent feature in his comedy act, and he often jokes about how they make him look like a fish.
In one of his stand-up routines, Wehn talks about how he was once mistaken for a fish by a group of children.
The children were playing in the park when they saw Wehn walking by. They pointed at him and said, “Look, a fish!”
Wehn was initially confused, but then he realized that it was because of his eyes. He said, “I guess it’s the blue eyes.”
Wehn’s eyes have also been a source of amusement for his fellow comedians.
In an interview with The Guardian, Stewart Lee said, “Henning has these amazing blue eyes. They’re like two giant marbles.” Lee also joked that Wehn’s eyes are so big that they “take up half his face.”
Wehn’s eyes are a unique feature that has helped to make him a successful comedian.
They are a source of both amusement and identity for him, and they have helped him to stand out from the crowd.
