Celebrities from your hometown?

[ZomgSharkz]

I was just wondering if anyone lives in the same town that a famous person once lived in. For example I live in the same town and go to the same high school as the creators of South Park. Has anyone else's hometown spawned fame?

My hometown attracts famous people more than it spawns them.
Indiana Jones (the character) was born in my town, and then moved to Chicago.
Now you know where I'm from and why it attracts so many famous people.

We have no one famous. The best I can come up with is that guy who was like "My name is Joe and I AM CANADIAN!" in the beer commercial a few years ago. That's really it, which is really sad.

 

[Clairaudient]

I'm from Montreal. Take your pick.

 

[RockSteady]

Colin Farrell.

Also adding on to the south park thingy, the drummer to rise against went to our high school as well.
