LIAM NEESON

You probably know Liam Neeson as the talented actor with the Irish accent! It has helped him land certain roles, but he has been rejected for it as well. He was born in Ireland but moved to Great Britain to pursue an acting career in the ‘80s. After some time, he made it to the United States but found it hard to snag roles thanks to his heavy accent. In order to make it, he had to figure out how to turn it on and off. In 2009, the actor finally received his U.S. citizenship. While it made it hard for him to launch his acting career, he has said that he would not be the same person if it were not for his Irish heritage.

RIHANNA

We all love her, but not everyone knows that the talented pop star was born Robyn Rihanna Fenty! Her mother is Guyanese, while her father is Barbadian. She was born in Barbados, but the family eventually moved to the United States. Rihanna has never shied away from talking about the challenges that they went through in the past. She sympathizes with Latinos who continue to be discriminated against in the country even to this day. Not only that, but she is also familiar with the experiences and policies of people who go through these. Aside from her music career, she has also started a cosmetic line called Fenty beauty. We are not surprised to hear that she has been appointed as ambassador of her home country!
