Keanu Reeves – Beirut, Lebanon
Born in 1964, Keanu Reeves is a Canadian actor best known for his roles in ‘The Matrix’ and ‘John Wick’. However, what many people don’t know is that he was actually born in Beirut, Lebanon. His mother, Patricia Taylor, was a costume designer and his father, Samuel Reeves, was a geologist. Reeves spent most of his childhood in Canada, but his homeland certainly adds to the charm.

Mila Kunis – Chernivtsi, Ukraine
