reply

Millie Bobby Brown was born in Spain. Typical Andy trying to get credit by bending the rules.

reply

Hence the honourable mention; she just went to school here.

Lyin' Andy.

reply

Millie was born in Marbella, Andalusia, Spain, the third of four children of English parents, Kelly and Robert Brown. The family moved to Bournemouth, Dorset, when Brown was around four years old, and then to Orlando, Florida, four years later (Truthful Andy).

I'll let this slide just once.

Is it Stargate?

This time it's the show "Sliders".

Ok, got it 👍

Don't live in a city but I grew up near the Port Talbot - Swansea - Neath triangle which can claim (in no particular order) Richard Burton, Anthony Hopkins, Michael Sheen, Catherine Zeta Jones, Ray Milland, Katherine Jenkins and a bunch of other favourites. I guess if I had to pick a favourite it would be Burton.

reply

That's quite a list.

It's amazing how many wrestlers are Canadian.

there's a mess of them!

reply

That was a tough question.
The closest thing that I can come up with is that Ann-Margret's father came from my town.

reply

Just did a quick DuckDuckGo search because I wasn’t born in a city and the only claim to fame I have is the actor Tim Pigott-Smith. 😛

reply

If you take out the "Rugby" and just keep it Warwickshire, you have Clive Owen.

reply

I guess that does help somewhat 😂 thanks. Not to denounce Mr Pigott-Smith because he was a great actor, but some other posters here have much more interesting answers.

And as for Rugby- it’s hard enough trying to explain to people that I wasn’t actually born on a Rugby pitch.
