There have been many welsh celebrities over the past few years that have gone on to become huge successes. 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.
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. Many people are shocked when they find out that his father was a pilot 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. Duffy has only recently produced one album and it came in at number one in the charts of the UK upon release. Duffy actually grew up speaking Welsh as her mother tongue which isnt too common to see in Wales nowadays. 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 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 it is, just the first half of the most famous people that have come from Wales and went on to become very rich 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 Family holidays UK or perhaps even one of those awesome family days out.
