Cobra Kai: Peyton List's face draws a lot of attention, and for a very odd reason

Part 1 of Cobra Kai season 6 was released on July 18, 2024, on Netflix. List joined the series in its second season as Tory Nichols, an aggressive and free-spirited woman. While Peyton List’s portrayal of the character has received praise, the actress’ facial features have also sparked discussion on the internet.

Peyton List's face draws attention for allegedly uneven features

Some users on Reddit have observed that Peyton List’s appearance looked different at different times. Most users attributed this to the fact that changing make-up or hairstyle could do that. However, there were other theories put forward as well.

For instance, one Reddit user mentioned that her forehead looked odd and her face was “atypical” and “asymmetrical.” In fact, some fans of Cobra Kai found List’s allegedly uneven facial features to be so striking that they were reportedly distracted every time the actress appeared on screen.

Many users agreed with this observation, though some speculated that Peyton List’s seemingly uneven facial structure could be the result of a medical condition. This condition causes the two sides of the face to grow at different rates. Essentially, one side of the face grows at a normal pace, while the other one retains the shape of the child’s face for longer than usual, causing unevenness in the overall structure.

These remarks led some users to speculate whether the actress could potentially opt for surgery to “fix” her facial structures. However, no official updates are available on this matter. On the other hand, some users commented that the actress’ face looked well enough as it was and that no surgery was needed.

Peyton List portrays Tory Nichols in Cobra Kai
