Do you share a birthday with someone famous?

A lot of us probably do which isn't surprising really since there are an awful lot of famous people out there and only 365 days in a year so many of us are bound to share a birthday with someone famous. I share a birthday with (among others) the late John Lennon and his second son Sean but I'm nowhere near as talented as they are. I've never written a song, I've never composed a poem and I can't play any musical instrument (I did play the triangle in the school orchestra but I don't think that really counts!). Another coincidence which may happen is sharing a birthday with a member of your family - do you?

I share my birthday with Tony Curtis and Anderson Cooper. The father of my firstborn has the same birthday as me.

I do there are a few famous people who have my birthday but the only one I can think of at the moment is Ed Asner.

@ThreeTeddies The Mary Tyler Moore show was probably Ed Asner's most notable role.

The only famous person I share a birthday with is Jason Mamoa who is playing Aquaman. I don't know if he is as famous in Scotland as he is here though.

Yeah, I kinda figured that @ThreeTeddies He's an actor who played the character Ronan in the series Stargate Atlantis and is now doing the series Aquaman. He's a sensation with the ladies here in the US

I haven't checked if famous people were born on the same day as I. But I've met four people in my life who were born on the same day. Two of them were born even in the same year. I lived in the same house with these two but in different cities and at different times.

@ThreeTeddies I decided to check and Francis Scott Key was born on my birthday. Not the same year. I met someone a long time ago that had a birthday on my birthday but cannot remember the person's name.

@ThreeTeddies So did you keep in touch with them throughout the years and did you celebrate your birthdays together?

When I first started school (many years ago) there were two other kids in my class who had the same birthday as me

Don't know of anyone famous, but when I was born, the woman in the next bed also had a little girl. Somehow, we both ended up in a different city, going to the same school, and the same class. How I found out is a long story, but it always made me feel famous lol!! Or maybe unique is a better word.

YES! I was born on February 24, like Stephen Jobs, and Pico della Mirandola, I have to say that I have an excellent memory too.

Too many to mention all but among them is Ron Howard and I love Happy Days and also loved acting at one time, Harry Belafonte and I love music and dancing, So I guess I am in good company. I was surprised to see so many.
