Welsh Born Celebs (Part 1)
There have been many welsh celebrities over the past few years that have gone on to become huge successes. Many of them really have not. Here is just a small list on some of the best ones that have proved to be very successful.
Christian Bale
Yes this huge Hollywood actor was actually born in Wales in 1974. Although he really didn’t spend too much time in the country as he left when he was two he was born there which is why he certainly has to be on this list. His father was a commercial pilot and talent manager and his mother a circus clown. 1976 was the year in which he left Wales at just the age of two and he has since spent a lot of time in England, Portugal and the USA. His top films include American Psycho, Batman Begins and Batman: The Dark Knight and of course Equilibrium.
Duffy
Aimee Duffy was actually born in 1984 and is a very successful singer/songwriter. The only album she has released so far was called Rockferry and it went on to become the number one album in the UK. She actually grew up speaking welsh as her mother tongue which is actually rather rare for Welsh people to do nowadays. The name Aimee was dropped a long while back for both personal and professional reasons.
Catherine-Zeta-Jones
This is obviously another welsh actor and she was born in the town of Swansea in 1969. Acting was an ambition of Catherine’s at a young age and she left school for it. The films that she is most known for include The Mask of Zorro, Chicago and The Legend of Zorro.
So there is just the first half of the list of people that were born in Wales and went on to become very rich and famous people.
Part two goes on further to talk to other famous Welsh celebs like Tom Jones, Katherine Jenkins and the controversial Charlotte Church.
Wales is actually a really nice spot to take one of those UK family holidays or perhaps even one of those awesome family days out.
