Can You Guess Which Of These A-List Celebrities Is From Texas?
There are certain celebrities that have so much pride being from Texas, they make it known on a regular basis. Matthew McConaughey, Eva Longoria, Beyonce born and raised in H-town. But there are a few that were born here that you may not realize. I was today years old when I realized that some of my very favorite actors hail from the Lone Star State. Let's play, born in Texas or not?
Actor Steve Martin-YES! Steve was born in Waco, TX
Actor/singer Selena Gomez-YES! Born in Grand Prairie, TX
Performer extraordinaire Usher-also YES! Born in Dallas, TX-I'm not going to lie, this one I did not know!
Actor/singer Hilary Duff-YES! Born in Houston, TX and raised in both Houston and San Antonio
Jamie Foxx-YES! And proud of it! Jamie was born and raised in Terrell, TX
actor Jim Parsons-Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory-big YES, born in Houston, TX! Who knew?
The Rookie actor Dennis Quaid-born and raised in Houston and later attended college at The University of Houston.
In case you didn't notice, the answer was yes to every single celebrity. A couple I did know about, several I did not. Proof that everything is bigger in Texas, including the talent that comes from our great state!
