6 Celebrities You Didn't Know Were Born on Christmas
Having a birthday on Christmas Day is nothing short of overwhelming, but it can also add extra excitement to an already festive time of year. For those who celebrate Christmas, December 25 is a jam-packed double-celebration. For those who don't, an end-of-December birthday might be filled with reflection ahead of the New Year. Below, in the spirit of the season, L'OFFICIEL rounds up notable celebs who blow out their candles on Christmas Day.
This legendary Danish supermodel and photographer will turn 54 years old this Christmas. Born in Copenhagen, Christensen became one of the most popular models of the '90s when she starred in Chris Isaak's music video for his song "Wicked Game." She modeled for Chanel, Versace, Prada, Lanvin, Valentino, Hermes, and more in addition to earning her wings as a Victoria's Secret Angel.
Born in 1999, this Christmas marks 23 years of serving looks for South Sudanese-Australian model Adut Akech. The young-but-accomplished model made her runway debut as an exclusive in the Saint Laurent Spring/Summer 2017 show and has since walked for Alexander McQueen, Givenchy, Prada, Tom Ford, Miu Miu, Burberry, and more. She also covered L'OFFICIEL Singapore in September of 2017.
Annie Lennox, an iconic Scottish singer-songwriter, turns 68 this Christmas. She was as revered for her music as she was for her androgynous look and cropped hair, which "defied the male gaze" in the early '80s.
The 23rd prime minister of Canada turns 51 on Christmas this year.
An honorable mention, because he was actually born on Christmas Eve: Louis Tomlinson, 1/5th (and later 1/4th) of One Direction and current pop solo artist. Known as the goofball of the group, Tomlinson is actually the oldest of the band's members. This Christmas Eve he'll be celebrating his 31st birthday.
