My DS shares his with Freddie Mercury (Sept 5). My DD shares hers with Victoria Beckham (April 17). I just realised I share mine with...drum roll...Boris Johnston (June 19) Hmm Come share yours...

I used famousbirthdays.com and disappointingly got loads of pop and you-tube stars that I didn't know from Adam.

Until I spotted Twiggy, Adam West and Jeremy Irons, which I'm much happier about.

DP also got loads of pop and reality TV stars I'd never heard of (I'm seeing a theme here) but then also Billy Corgan from the Smashing Pumpkins, Gary Sinise, Rob Lowe and Kurt Russell.

They say that you only need a group of about 80 people before you'll almost certainly have two that have the same birthday, which I don't quite understand, but I'm sure that just about everyone will share their birthday with quite a few famous people.

Bob Hoskins and Hilary Clinton.

The Michael Douglas/Catherine Zeta Jones birthday is apparently the most common birthdate in the world/UK/whatever. This is because it is the result of conception on New Year's Eve.

Apparently people are more relaxed on NYE than at Christmas.

NatashaAlianovaRomanova · 27/07/2019 18:31

I share mine with Taylor Swift... DS is in better company with Elvis, Stephen Hawking & David Bowie.

mrsed1987 · 27/07/2019 22:58

@balloonslayer interesting because only 4% of babies are born on their due date. I was 5 days late so not a new years even conception!

I share mine with a randy member of the royal family.

Bluemoonrising · 27/07/2019 23:51

No, I don't share mine with anyone famous.

Seem to remember Will Smith introduced Michael to Catherine because they all shared a birthday @mrsed1987.
