    38 Famous Celebrities You Thought Were American, But Aren't

    The terms 'English Movies' and 'Hollywood' go hand in hand. But it does not imply that everyone who acts in Hollywood flicks is American. Likewise, singers too are from other countries besides the U.S. Don't get too confused, 'coz I'll be letting you in on some details about those celebrities who most of you thought were American.

    "And if you look over his career, it's kind of fitting that this should be the case. Keifer does have the kind of resume you'd associate with a British actor. Played a few villains, tends to be good at taunting people, has grown stubble in order to play a hard-boiled but unlucky professional in the emergency services for a hit TV show. Apart from all the punching and rolling around, he's basically Hugh Laurie, Dominic West or Idris Elba, only with a better North American accent."
    ―BBC America on Kiefer Sutherland
    If you want to make a name for yourself in the world of showbiz, one of the best places to do so is the United States. Which is why, there are many actors and singers, not only British, Canadian, or Australian, but from other countries too, who have shifted base to the U.S. Some may call them foreign celebrities in American movies and music, but neither do they care, nor their millions of fans. They have gone on to make a name for themselves, so much so, that most people around the world, including a majority in the U.S. simply assume that they are American. Before I get down to the list, let me clarify one thing. Of course there will be many out there who know a few of these celebrities aren't American, but this page includes those that most around the world assume to be from the United States itself, besides the many in America too. And, some have adopted the U.S. as their home now, and hold dual citizenship too. So feast your eyes on some of the most famous actors and singers you thought were American.
