I just found out recently, to my sheer delight, that Simon Pegg and I share the exact same birthday. Day, Month, Year. Anyone else? (I realize that this may not be the most popular OP, for those that don’t wish to reveal their ages). ---

The lead singer of Kings Of Leon. Caleb Followill. Leo Lima and Victor Valdes. Soccer Players. That’s odd because those two names are related to me and my son’s names. Speaking of odd coincidences, my mother got the idea to name me from reading Shelly Winter’s biography and she died on my birthday. Weird. ---

Two athletes- [Steve Walsh](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Walsh_(American_football))& [Larry Walker](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Walker), a “that’s what’s her name from that show” actress named [Katherine LaNasa](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katherine_LaNasa), and an evidently busy French actor named [Edouard Baer](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edouard_Baer). By some accounts I was born the same DD/MM/YYYY as Matthew Laborteaux who played Albert on _Little House on the Prairie_, other sources give his birthdate a week later. ---

A friend of mine in college had my same exact birthday, but she’s not famous. I wikipedia’d, and I don’t see anything but a bunch of losers. The most famous event on my birthday (though not the same year) was MLK’s assassination. I knew that before the wiki, though, and was a little disappointed not to find anything cool. Time to become famous and make my birthday awesome®! Edit: Wait, Jamie Lynn Spears shares my birthday. Not the same year, but good enough. Move over, Martin Luther Whoeveryouare! ---

Nobody I have ever heard of. Who is [PJ Harvey](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P.J._Harvey)? So I guess that means nobody famous at all. Some guy named Brett Favre was born the day after me, though. Apparently he’s somebody, because I keep seeing his name a lot. ---

Exact dd/mmm/yy - [Guy Pearce](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Pearce) described as an Anglo-Australian Actor and [Rex Chapman](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rex_Chapman) American Basketball player. Exactly two years older than I - Mario Lemieux and Patrick Roy - I had no idea they were born on the same date. The only person I knew about sharing my birthdate before looking it up was [Steve Miller](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Miller_(musician)), but for some reason I don’t remember him being that much older than I was.
