10 Celebs Born On June 20 That’ll Totally Surprise You

Nicole Kidman isn’t just your average actress. She’s got range — from blockbuster hits to artsy flicks, and she even produces TV shows. Oh, and here’s a wild tidbit: she once got the Hawaiian name Hōkūlani, which means 'Heavenly Star,' all thanks to a baby elephant. Yeah, really!

Before Lionel Richie was pouring his heart out in songs, he thought about becoming an Episcopal priest. Instead, he became a soul and pop legend! From the Commodores to his solo career, Richie’s music is timeless. Also, fun fact: he’s snagged multiple Grammys and even an Oscar. Talk about talent!

John Goodman is that familiar face who just makes you smile. You know him as Dan Conner from Roseanne and from tons of Coen brothers’ movies. Before acting, he was actually on a football scholarship until a knee injury changed his plans. Sometimes life’s curveballs turn out pretty awesome.

If you think big-budget movies are the only way to go, think again. Robert Rodriguez made his debut film, El Mariachi, for just $7,000! How? He even took part in medical drug tests to get the cash. Plus, he created the Spy Kids series. Talk about hustle.

Remember McLovin from Superbad? That’s Christopher Mintz-Plasse! Besides rocking the acting world, he’s a bass player and drummer in various bands. And if you’ve heard his voice in How to Train Your Dragon, that’s him too. Multitalented much?

Caroline Polachek’s music vibes are out of this world — literally! She’s known for her dreamy synth-pop and even co-wrote Beyoncé’s “No Angel.” Here’s a shocker: she once sang in FIVE choirs at the same time and was part of two nu-metal bands. Talk about diverse!

Chino Moreno isn’t just the badass voice behind Deftones; before music fame, he was shipping stuff at Tower Records. Now, he’s won a Grammy and dives into all sorts of wild side projects. From metal to experimental sounds, he’s got it covered.

John Taylor co-founded Duran Duran and played bass like a rockstar, helping create hits like “Rio” and “Hungry Like the Wolf.” But before all that glam, he was in a band called Shock Treatment. Catchy name, right? Oh, and he’s in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Fancy!

Michael Anthony is known for being the backbone in Van Halen with his bass and catchy backup vocals. Here’s a fun twist: he’s left-handed but plays bass right-handed. Weird flex or just plain cool? Either way, he’s a forever legend in hard rock.

Tress MacNeille’s voice is everywhere. From Babs Bunny in Tiny Toon Adventures to Daisy Duck and a ton of Simpsons characters, she’s the queen of voice acting. Before all the fame, she spent 10 years doing improv comedy with The Groundlings. Talk about a fun resume!
