There have actually been so many Welsh celebrities that have come out over the past twenty years or so. Many of them of course haven’t. This list is just a small amount of the overall people that have gone on to become very successful.
Christian Bale
It is hard to believe that this major hollywood actor was 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. After leaving Wales in 1976 he spent many years in England, Portugal and the USA. The top films that he has done have to be American Psycho, Batman Begins and Batman: The Dark Knight and of course Equilibrium.
Duffy (Aimee 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. Duffy actually grew up speaking Welsh as her mother tongue which isnt too common to see in Wales nowadays. She actually dropped her first name Aimee and simply called herself Duffy 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. She actually left school at an early age to pursue acting. The Mask of Zorro, Chicago and The Legend of Zorro are just some of her best films that she is very well known for being in.
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.
