Remember, remember the 5th of November; not just for fireworks and sparklers, but for the seriously iconic list of celebs who blow out their candles on Bonfire Night! From rock legends to Hollywood royalty, here’s who’s celebrating with some extra sparkle this Guy Fawkes Night…
Sam Rockwell
5 November 1968 (Age 57)
Known for his effortlessly cool charm, Sam Rockwell has been lighting up screens for decades, from his Oscar-winning role in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri to his quirky turns in Moon and Jojo Rabbit. He’s proof that charisma is its own kind of fireworks.
Tilda Swinton
5 November 1960 (Age 65)
Ethereal, eccentric and effortlessly avant-garde, Tilda Swinton is a cinematic chameleon. Whether she’s a white witch in Narnia, an androgynous muse in Orlando, or an art-world queen in A Bigger Splash, she always brings a spark of magic.
Bryan Adams
5 November 1959 (Age 66)
If the soundtrack of your youth includes Summer of ’69, you’ve got Bryan Adams to thank. The Canadian rocker’s anthems are pure nostalgia, the kind of songs you belt out around the bonfire (or anywhere, really).
Kris Jenner
5 November 1955 (Age 70)
The ultimate momager and pop culture powerhouse, Kris Jenner turned her famous family into a global brand and changed reality TV forever. Who needs fireworks when you are the spark?
Vivien Leigh
5 November 1913
A timeless Hollywood icon, Vivien Leigh’s legacy still burns brightly. The Gone with the Wind and A Streetcar Named Desire star redefined cinematic drama with her beauty, poise and emotional intensity. And although she’s no longer with us physically, we couldn’t miss her off this list!
Art Garfunkel
5 November 1941 (Age 84)
One half of the legendary Simon & Garfunkel duo, Art’s angelic voice is just something else. Whether it’s Bridge Over Troubled Water or The Sound of Silence, his songs have soundtracked millions of moments.
Kevin Jonas
5 November 1987 (Age 38)
The eldest Jonas Brother, Kevin’s gone from teen idol to family man and businessman. He’s proof that growing up in the spotlight can still mean staying grounded, and yes, still rocking a guitar solo too.
Odell Beckham Jr.
5 November 1992 (Age 33)
NFL star, fashion icon, and all-round trendsetter, Odell Beckham Jr. brings explosive energy to everything he does. If Bonfire Night had a spirit person, it might just be OBJ.
Alexa Chung
5 November 1983 (Age 42)
It-girl, fashion muse, and presenter extraordinaire, Alexa Chung’s cool-girl aesthetic is a cultural phenomenon. If Bonfire Night had a dress code, she’d write it (and wear it).
So, as the bonfires burn and the sky comes alive, it’s not just Guy Fawkes getting all the attention. A few famous faces are (not so) quietly blowing out candles of their own. Here’s to the stars born under the Bonfire Night sky, and to our readers who are also celebrating today!
