The Unusual Prop That Donald Faison Kept From The Set Of Clueless

In "Clueless," viewers got a close-up look at the bicker-filled romance between Stacey Dash's character, Dionne, and her boyfriend Murray, played by Donald Faison. In one scene, Murray gave Dee a driving lesson and as he screamed in terror (she mistakenly hopped on the freeway!), viewers could see he had a mouthful of braces. In a Reddit AMA years later, Faison revealed that the braces were created for him just for the movie. "I actually still have them," he told fans. There was a big reason that Faison wore fake braces in the movie; it turns out, his teeth were tiny.

In a 2014 interview, Faison revealed that he never had braces in real life — ever. When he starred in "Clueless" in 1995, he was 21 and still had baby teeth in his mouth, which presented a problem. "What happened was, one of my teeth didn't fall out. So because of that, I had an extra tooth," he told Vulture. He added that producers wanted to hide his extra tooth because it looked "weird" when he smiled. "So they put braces on me," the actor said. "They were trying to hide my small teeth!" Faison told Entertainment Tonight in a later interview.
