There have actually been quite a few Welsh celebrities to come out of Wales in the past few years or so. Many of them really have not. This list is just a small list of the really famous people that were born in Wales and went on to become huge.
The Very Famous Christian Bale
Yes this huge Hollywood actor was actually born in Wales in 1974. Bale has to be on the list because he is such a huge actor, although he left Wales when he was two he simply has to be on the list. Believe it or not his father was a pilot and talent manager and his mother a very traditonal circus clown. After leaving Wales in 1976 he spent many years in England, Portugal and the USA. The top films that he has done have to be American Psycho, Batman Begins and Batman: The Dark Knight and of course Equilibrium.
Aimee Duffy (Duffy)
Aimee Duffy was born in 1984 and is an extremely successful singer-songwriter. So far she has only produced one album but it came in at number one in the UK chart immediately upon release. What is quite rare for a lot of Welsh people nowadays is the fact that she grew up speaking Welsh as her mother tongue. The reason the name Aimee was dropped is not actually known to many people but apprently it was for both professional and personal reasons.
Catherine-Zeta-Jones
Another welsh actor here and was born in Swansea in 1969. Acting was an ambition of Catherine’s at a young age and she left school for it. Her most successful films include The Mask of Zorro, Chicago and The Legend of Zorro.

Part two goes on further to talk to other famous Welsh celebs like Tom Jones, Katherine Jenkins and the controversial Charlotte Church.
Wales is actually a really nice spot to take one of those UK family holidays or perhaps even one of those awesome family days out.
