He's even less well known than Steve Irwin now and is in fourth. Kidman and Jackman make sense since they've been around longer and have had more variety of roles to reach a broader audience.
Because Chris Hemsworth is probably the most talkative person in this entire quiz, and thus everybody has heard his accent and remembers he’s Aussie. (That’s my theory and I’m sticking to it.)
So are you saying that because she wasn't born in Australia, it means she isn't Australian? That doesn't make sense. Isla Fischer was born in Oman and Olivia Newton-John was born in United Kingdom. Julia Gillard and Tony Abbot were born in Wales and England and they were Prime Ministers.
Someone was saying that Keith Urban isn't Australian, he should be a New Zealender. I used the example of Nicole Kidman because she's clearly Australian even if she wasn't born there. So yes, I agree with you NellyFurtado.
Honestly though, I'm sure more than 32% have heard of him since he comes up all the time when people talk about Jordan, Gretzky, Brady, etc.; however, his name is hard to remember since it's pretty generic-sounding while not actually being generic and thus difficult to guess if you can't actually remember it.
I could only remember Portia's first name and didn't know Sia was Australian or that's what she looked like. I have a lot of her music but she hides her face so often.
Rod Laver (Tennis) Margaret Court (Tennis) Mary Mackillop (St Mary of the Cross), Douglas Mawson (Antarctic Explorer), Albert Namatjira (Artist) William Bragg (Nobel Laureate) , Kingsford-Smith (first flight England - Australia) ..... just to name a few that unlike pop singers and movie stars will be famous when 'celebs' are long forgotten.
William Bragg is a physicist who did something with x-rays (I'm not a scientist, so don't really understand it). However, it's a stretch to call him Australian. He was born and died in England and only spent 23 of his 79 years in Australia, although he made a big impression on the University of Adelaide while in the land down under.
In which world does the fame of athletes outlive that of singers and actors? Which is more like to be watched after decades, old tennis matches or old movies?
I had absolutely no idea Portia de Rossi is Australian. I have watched her in Arrested Development 1,000 times and never got the slightest sense of it.
Neither did I. Has she lost her accent completely or did she grow up in the States? I thought I remembered seeing interviews with her where she had no accent...
The very first quiz in which I didn't know ANY of the answers. And even after getting the correct answers visible I only recognized six of the names as having ever heard of :)
I'd heard of seven and got six of them. I should have known the last one but I could only think of his first name Simon. It's been a while since I watched The Mentalist.
Yeah everyone knows that. Isla Fischer was born in Oman, Tony Abbott was born in England and Julia Gillard was born in Wales. Doesn't mean they aren't Australian.
Wow, some of these pictures are weird. I just started guessing famous Australians I knew thinking maybe I missed a row or something... and got two additional Aussies who I didn't recognize. Granted, I was remembering what they looked like twenty years ago...
Keith Lionel Urban (born 26 October 1967) is a New Zealand-Australian singer.
You can have more than one nationality.
