Let’s Celebrate! 10 Famous Folks Born on September 1 Who You’ll Wanna Know

Zendaya is basically the queen of cool with her moves in Euphoria and swinging through the Spider-Verse as Spider-Man’s bestie. Oh, and before all the glam? She was a kid model rocking spots like Macy’s and Old Navy. Totally walked before she ran, right?

Gloria Estefan mixed Latin vibes and pop beats so well, she basically broke the internet way before it was cool. She’s a 7-time Grammy champ, part-time business whiz, and – plot twist – was once eyed by the CIA because she speaks a ton of languages. Spy or superstar? Why not both?

Lily Tomlin turned stand-up comedy into an art form and gave us iconic characters like Ernestine, the sassiest phone operator ever. Got a biology degree? Nope! She ditched it when theater stole her heart. Decades later, she’s still making us laugh and think (but mostly laugh).

Padma’s the boss on shows like Top Chef, serving up culinary wisdom with a side of awesome. Fun fact: she went by 'Angelique' for a hot second in high school, trying to blend in. Guess what? She didn’t need to—she’s a star all on her own.

Ludwig’s the brain behind some killer movie tunes like Black Panther. He mixes old-school instruments with fresh vibes like a pro DJ at a vintage bazaar. Bonus: He’s named after Beethoven, so yeah, music’s in his DNA.

Boyd went from almost quitting acting to playing epic roles like the tough DEA agent in Narcos and the bad guy in Logan. Also, he’s a former model and a rockstar sculptor. Multitalented, much?

Scott made a splash on TV with Felicity and took a bite out of the Underworld series. Before acting stole the show, he was a nearly Olympian swimmer—talk about diving into new careers!

Chanel made us laugh on Ridiculousness and Fantasy Factory before dropping some sick beats as a rapper. Oh, and she laid down her first track in Marvin Gaye’s legendary studio—starting young and going all in!

Joe’s the guitar genius from Fall Out Boy who helped write all those earworms you can’t stop humming. Before rocking out, he was a trombone player—guess he just swapped one instrument for a cooler one.

Rachel made “boho-chic” a household word and turned celebrity wardrobes into pure magic. She switched up her last name from Rosenzweig to Zoe because, well, Zoe just sounds cooler and way less of a mouthful. And yes, she had her own reality show, because she’s that glam.
