10 Celebs Who Share April 7 and Why They’re Awesome

Jackie Chan isn’t your everyday action star—he’s the king of mixing crazy martial arts moves with slapstick comedy and doing his own jaw-dropping stunts. Over 150 movies and an honorary Oscar later, he’s basically a living action legend. Oh, and he holds Guinness World Records for being the stunt champ and racking up movie credits like it’s no big deal.

This guy’s presence on screen is straight-up intense. Russell Crowe’s the Gladiator we all remember (and he won an Oscar for it, no biggie). He’s also dabbled in directing and even tried his hand at rock music with his band before hitting the big screen. Talk about a multi-talented dude!

Anne-Marie’s got a voice that packs a punch—and funny thing, she’s also a three-time world karate champ with a black belt! She first caught our ears on the smash hit "Rockabye" and has been killing it with honest, empowering lyrics ever since. Plus, she’s been a coach on The Voice UK, which means she knows her stuff.

Bill Bellamy made us laugh on HBO’s Def Comedy Jam and gave the world the hilarious phrase "Booty Call" (yeah, that one). He was an MTV VJ before things went viral and, fun fact, he’s cousins with Shaquille O’Neal. Talk about talent in the family!

Jerry Brown isn’t your average politician. He ran California four times as governor and pushed some big environmental moves. Oh, and way back in high school? Yep, he was a cheerleader. That’s some unexpected leadership training!

If you love shows like True Blood or Lucifer, you’ve seen Kevin Alejandro flex his acting muscles. He’s a fun mix of grit and charm and even started a scholarship for drama kids in honor of his high school teacher. Talk about giving back!

John Cooper is the voice behind Skillet, the Christian rock band that’s all about powerful anthems and big feelings. Before rocking the stage, he actually worked as a janitor at his church. Guess that’s one way to keep it humble!

Sandy Powell doesn’t just design costumes—she turns movies into total eye candy with incredible outfits. She’s bagged three Oscars and keeps slaying the game with her creative flair. She even ditched her degree early to jump right into the wild world of fringe theatre—talk about gutsy!

Janis Ian made waves in the folk world with her heartfelt songs way back in the day. Her album Between the Lines hit the top of the charts, and she even snagged a Grammy for her spoken word autobiography. And here’s a quirky tidbit: she legally switched her last name to Ian, borrowing her brother’s middle name. Pretty cool and totally unique!

Ed Speleers started off starring in fantasy flicks like Eragon and then hopped onto big TV shows like Downton Abbey and Star Trek: Picard. For a bonus, he once wrote a play with some spicy themes in college. Plus, he’s a hardcore Tottenham Hotspur fan. Goals all around!
