Bit Of The Welsh Celebs (Part 1)
There have actually been quite a few Welsh celebrities to come out of Wales in the past few years or so. There many that havent of course. Here is just a small list on some of the best ones that have proved to be very successful.
The Very Famous Christian Bale
It is pretty hard to believe that this hollywood actor was born in Wales. Bale has to be on the list because he is such a huge actor, although he left Wales when he was two he simply has to be on the list. Believe it or not his father was a pilot and talent manager and his mother a very traditonal 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. Some of his best films have to be American Psycho, Batman Begins and Batman: The Dark Knight and of course Equilibrium.
Duffy
Aimee Duffy was born in 1984 and is an extremely successful singer-songwriter. So far she has only produced one album but it came in at number one in the UK chart immediately upon release. What is quite rare for a lot of Welsh people nowadays is the fact that she grew up speaking Welsh as her mother tongue. The reason the name Aimee was dropped is not actually known to many people but apprently it was for both professional and personal reasons.
Catherine-Zeta-Jones
This of course is another welsh actor and she was born in Swansea in 1969. She left school early to go after her dream of becoming an actor. Her most successful films 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 to talk about Tom Jones, Katherine Jenkins and the controversial Charlotte Church.
Wales is actually a really nice spot to take one of those Family holidays UK or perhaps even one of those awesome family days out.
