Celebrities who have fixed their teeth -- and those who haven't

10 of 10: Michael Strahan, a retired NFL player who helped the New York Giants win the Super Bowl in 2008 and new co-host of the newly-named 'LIVE! with Kelly and Michael,' says he has no plans to fix the gap in his teeth, which has become his trademark look.

However, he did think about doing it at one point.

'I was really close to closing it up,' he told ELLE magazine in a December 2012 interview. 'I was at the dentist having him do mock-ups. I thought about it, man.'

'I was in my twenties. I was playing with the Giants. There's so much pressure to be perfect,' he added. 'You can fix everything now. For me, I made the conscious effort to say 'This is who I am.' I'm not perfect. I don't want to try to be perfect. At this point, I don't think my kids would recognize me without it. They'd be like, 'Who is this stranger in the house? Call 911!''
