Jordan.

I mean, it shouldn't bother me that we are the exact same age, but for some reason it does!

DD shares her birthday with Nixon, i'm sure she's got his determination

I share mine with Carly Simon and George Michael. Sadly I don't share any astroglocial song writing or singing talents.

Michael Jackson died on my birthday, kind of spoiling my birthday night out as the restaurant I went to to celebrate had a special tribute night and kept playing sad songs all night. (I have great sympathy for his family, blah blah, but it was my birthday and I hadn't been out for aaaages and Man in the Mirror and Ben on loop doesn't exactly get the party started).

Kate Bosworth (born 1983)

I used to share my birthday with the Queen Mum, so they always used to fly the flags on my birthday.

Then when I was about 14, we discovered I was actually born on August 3rd, not the 4th.
Oddly enough, they didn't change the day the flags were flown....

I now share a birthday with Stanley Baldwin, PD James, Martha Stewart, Jack Straw Osvaldo Ardiles and Terry Wogan, which is a fairly random bunch of people.

Yes Barry Sheene died of cancer in 2003 aged just 53.

I used to have posters of him all over my bedroom when I was a teen.
