Bowie no tenía cada ojo de un color. Los dos son del mismo, pero en uno la pupila se le quedó permanentemente dilata después de una pelea poor una chica en su colegio de Bromley High School.
Su compañero de clase George Underwood le pegó un puñetazo que le dejó el ojo derecho dañado para siempre, a pesar de operarle unas cuantas veces durante cuatro meses.
