Let’s Celebrate These November 13 Birthday Legends!

Whoopi Goldberg is basically a Hollywood superhero. She's won an Oscar (yes, seriously), hosted The View, and lent her voice to The Lion King. But wait for it - before all that fame, she gave dead people a makeover as a mortuary beautician. Talk about a career plot twist!

Jimmy Kimmel is your go-to guy for sharp jokes and hosting the Oscars (he's done it multiple times!). But here’s a cute surprise - he was an altar boy for seven years. So yeah, the guy’s been practicing his stage presence since forever.

Gerard Butler basically IS King Leonidas from 300 - fierce and unforgettable. He also voices a dragon dad in How to Train Your Dragon. Fun fact: before all the action stardom, he got fired from a trainee lawyer gig because he played hooky too much. Oops!

Lando Norris zoomed into Formula One and became a fan favorite in no time. He snagged his first Grand Prix win in 2024 and finished second in the championship. Before racing, he tried everything from horses to motorcycles - turns out wheel speed is his true calling!

Emma Raducanu burst onto the tennis scene with a crazy historic US Open win in 2021, the first qualifier ever to do it! Plus, she’s a brainiac with A*s in math and economics - so yeah, she’s got skills on and off the court.

Julia Michaels gave us the earworm “Issues” and wrote hits for all your favorite pop stars. Here’s a twist: her dad switched up his name to chase acting dreams, going from Juan Manuel Cavazos to John Michaels. Talk about a family of artists!

Matt Bennett made TV fans swoon as Robbie Shapiro on Victorious and later rocked the DJ booth with nostalgic tours. Oh, and he once dreamed of being an inventor. Imagine the gadgets he could cook up with his creative energy!

Kevin Bridges is your go-to guy for laughs with a Scottish twist. He got his start after shooting a late-night email to a comedy club at 2 AM - bold move, right? Since then, he’s toured like a comedy rockstar and sold tons of DVDs.

Steve Zahn nails everything from quirky movies to serious TV roles. Plus, he co-founded a theater company with Ethan Hawke. Basically, he’s an all-around cool creative guy who loves the stage in every form.

Monique Coleman danced her way into our hearts as Taylor in High School Musical. Fun fact: her character wasn’t into jocks, but Monique was a cheerleader in real life. Talk about keeping it real on and off screen!
