False

His eyes are the same colour


they are both the same colour but due to an accident when young one pupil no longer dilates which makes the eye look a different colour ...what is seen is the iris. Incidently it was his mate who thumped him and damaged his eye but no hard feeling as he produced Bowies 1st album !

Just found this info:
Bowie was born with blueish eyes. In 1962, he got into a fight with his longtime school friend George Underwood (over George's girlfriend), and a punch from Underwood damaged Bowie's left eye. His pupil was paralyzed, becoming unable to dilate or contract according to the ambient light.
As a result, Bowie's left eye now appears to be a different colour to his right eye, appearing either brown or green depending on the ambient light.

Still think he's SUPER though! Wow!

Unsure about the colour; one is different from the other.
