Born: October 7, 1959 in Lambeth, London, England, UK

If you would have asked me what I thought of America before I came over here I would have used the word “corny”. And then you come over here and you find that it’s not corny at all. British people are very cynical, they cannot bear someone else’s success. Americans embrace other people’s success. Everything in America is larger than life.

Happy Birthday: Britt Ekland

brittekland.jpgBritt Ekland

Born: October 6, 1942 in Stockholm, Sweden

Had an affair with rocker Rod Stewart in the mid-’70s, and sang French on his smash hit “Tonight’s the Night”. When she found out he was unfaithful to her, she filed a $12.5-million palimony suit, claiming that she gave up much of her career for him and that she deserved a large portion of his income as compensation. The lawsuit was dismissed by the courts.

[on Peter Sellers] I would squirm with embarrassment at the demeaning lengths he would go to in order to ingratiate himself with the Royal Family.

[on Warren Beatty] Warren is the most divine lover of all. His libido was as lethal as high-octane gas. I had never known such pleasure of passion in my life.

Married to: Addie Lane (13 October 2009 – present) (2 children)

I tend to (get cast) as dark characters, and I’m more drawn to those characters anyway – they’re usually more interesting. Plus, I got this deep voice from my father, and the combination of the timbre of my voice and my inflections tends to make people feel that there’s some darkness there.

Born: October 6, 1973 in Cardiff, Wales, UK

Married to:
Alice Evans (14 September 2007 – present) (2 children)

I was probably doing more to pigeonhole myself as a Welshman and a Welsh actor than anyone else! A lot of the stuff I said in the past sounded defensive – a young man’s ideals about who I am and where I’m from. I realize I don’t have to force that on people, but just use it as a safety net, to stride out into the world knowing that I have a strong sense of identity. Because we’re all landlocked in this nation together and we should be celebrating it.

I do, I kick major butt in Dredd (2012). I get to kill people. I break a guy’s neck by roundhouse kicking him in the face. It was me, I did it. I learned how to roundhouse kick. I also do it with my hands cuffed behind my back so it’s pretty cool I have to say. Yeah, leather body suit, blonde hair, the whole thing.
