Fun fact, David Bowie had a very cool-looking and rare form of heterochromia:

Comparatively boring fact: I have a much more common and less cool form of heterochromia, hazel eyes:

Conclusion: David Bowie and I are nonidentical

David Bowie didn't have heterochromia. He had a permanently dilated pupil due to an injury.

He might have had heterochromia due to an injury rather than congenially, but heterochromia is what irises of more than one color is called regardless of the reason. It's not a specific condition.

Hence hazel eyes and having one blue and one brown eye both being heterochromia.
