22 Celeb Leos Who Totally Live Up To Their Fire Sign Traits

Jennifer Lopez was born just on the cusp of Leo season, as she celebrates her birthday on July 24, according to Refinery 29, just after Cancer season. And she definitely wears her Leo-ness proudly, commanding attention and keeping the party going wherever she goes. This year, in fact, she celebrated her 50th birthday on stage in Israel.

In case you couldn't tell from her over-the-top personality, Jennifer Lawrence is a Leo. The actress, born Aug. 15, 1990, and is the embodiment of all that Leos are. As noted by Elite Daily, she's sensitive, hilarious, and has personality for days.

Not only is Daniel Radcliffe — who was born July 23, 1989 — a Leo, but he played one on the big screen. According to Wizards and What Not, J.K. Rowling, another noteworthy Leo, wrote Harry Potter as a Leo.

Madonna has always been a star, thanks mostly to her bold style and general fearlessness. But also embodies all that her star sign is said to be, and even touted Leos' unapologetic boldness in a 2018 tweet, writing: "Leo’s Don’t Apologize for taking the Road less Traveled By."

It takes guts to put a body of work out there, especially something like Harry Potter. Fortunately, author J.K. Rowling, born July 31, 1965, has the stars on her side. She's a Leo and proud of it, and regularly references her Leo characteristics on Twitter.

Chris Hemsworth, who celebrates his birthday on Aug. 11, may not be the first star you think of when you think Leos. He's not as in-your-face as others on this list, but he shows his bold nature in other ways. For example, the actor has stepped into a variety of roles over the years, from the serious to the seriously outrageous, and he's nailed each and every one. Perhaps his most over-the-top role came in Vacation, where the boldly showed off every part of himself, as noted by E! News. Now that takes the courage of a lion.

Steve Carell, born Aug. 16, according to his IMDb, is as bold a comic as they come and it's no wonder why — he's a Leo! GQ made note of some of his most daring, stand-out roles, in 2016, naming his part in The Office, The 40-Year-Old Virgin, and Little Miss Sunshine. He dares to go where others may not, and isn't afraid to look silly doing it. Not just anyone could do that.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is a Leo, according to Find Your Fate. He's never been afraid of the spotlight, which might be thanks to his star sign. Before he was an actor, he was a bodybuilder and saw great success in that. From there, he found more fame as an actor and a politician, which definitely takes guts to do.

Sandra Bullock is one of the most famous Leos. She was born on July 26, 1964, according to Famous Birthdays. Bullock shows her bold nature through her fashion, her roles, and her actions. She's fearless, and fiercely loyal — especially to her kids. And she proved just that when she accepted an MTV Award for her role in Bird Box. In her speech, according to MTV News, she said:

I made Bird Box because my children asked me why I never made anything for them. So when Bird Box crossed my path, I knew this was a story I needed to make because it was about family. And when I finished the film, I went to my babies and I said, 'Here, mommy made this for you. And even though you can't see it until you're 21 — because apparently a movie about being a mommy is a horror film — you will know when you see it that there isn't anything that I wouldn't do for you.

Halle Berry, who celebrates her birthday on Aug. 14, has been in the acting game for some time, taking on a variety of roles and shining in all of them. She's daring, she's charming, and she's not afraid to go there — perhaps because she's a Leo, according to Horoscope.com.

Ben Affleck, a notable Leo, celebrates his birthday on Aug. 15, according to People. His days of partying like Leos are known for are long behind him, and he prefers to keep things more low-key, but he's still very much a Leo at heart.

No star says Leo quite like Mick Jagger. The rock star, born on July 26, 1943, hasn't lost a beat, even at the age of 76. He proved that this past May when he shared a video of some of his signature moves after undergoing heart surgery, as CNN reported at the time.

Celebrity Leo Robert De Niro, born on Aug. 17, according to his IMDb, is as bold as they come. He's shown that time and time again by standing up to President Donald Trump, calling him and his administration out repeatedly. For example, back in April, as reported by The Guardian, De Niro called Trump a "wannabe gangster."

There's no denying that Charlize Theron is a Leo. The South Arifcan-born actress has made a name for herself in Hollywood, as noted by The Astrologer, which noted that she has three planets in Leo: Mercury, which is a planet of communication, Mars, a planet of aggression, and Venus, the planet of love and art. Theron certainly embodies the attributes associated with these planets on and off the set.

Kate Beckinsale, born July 26, is also a Leo, and possesses many of the star signs typical traits, as Betches pointed out. She's garnered serious attention with her romantic relationships, most recently coupling up with Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson for a period. She's also proven to be fierce, as Refinery 29 noted, often calling out her haters and standing up for herself on social media.

Michelle Williams made a name for herself as a member of Destiny's Child. It takes a strong woman to keep up with Beyoncé — fortunately Williams is a Leo, according to We Heart It. As if her track record with the group wasn't proof enough that she's a powerhouse, she's showcased her strength while coping with and opening up about her mental health struggles, according to Entertainment Weekly.

Leos are known for being carefree, fun-loving, and commanding attention, and no one does that better than Kristin Chenoweth, who was born July 24. In a 2018 profile, GQ touted her work ethic and hilarity, noting that she likes to really get inside the heads of her characters and works hard to make audiences laugh.

Few comedic actresses are as daring as Rose Byrne. The Leo, born on July 24, according to her IMDb page, boldly goes where few are willing to get a laugh on screen. Perhaps that's the Leo in her, perhaps she's just naturally hilarious and commanding.

No one exudes the courage and strength of a Leo like supermodel Iman Abdulmajid. The fashion icon, born on July 25, falls under the star sign, according to Realm of Astrology. There are few examples of her strength more obvious than in the weeks and months after husband David Bowie's death; as reported by People, Iman told Good Morning America, "It's been a tough year, but I'm holding up."

Maya Rudolph is a stand-out among comedians. She's bold, hilarious, and unapologetic in who she is. Rudolph, born on July 27, is a Leo, which may account for some of those traits.

There are so many examples of Rudolph's Leo-status, but none more glaring than her ability to stand up for herself and what she believes in. For example, in 2018, she spoke with The New York Times about her time on Saturday Night Live, revealing that she was hair-shamed by some of her cast mates, and while it was undeniably frustrating and hurtful, she took charge of the situation.

"... Every [expletive] Friday night, we’d hear some [expletive] white guy walking down the hall going, ‘Is something burning in here? What’s burning?'" she told the publication, going on to share her bold response to the rude comments: "I’m. Get-ting. My. Hair. Done."

Leos are known for being showy. And when you think about it, it makes sense that Alex Rodriguez, like his fiancee J.Lo, is one. The superstar athlete was born on July 27, according to Refinery29, and he has so many of the traits of a Leo, including loyalty and nobility. He's lived much of his adult life in the spotlight, and now that he's with Lopez, he's right back in the thick of it.

Meghan Markle celebrated her 38th birthday on Aug. 4, putting her under the Leo star sign. The Duchess of Sussex is powerful in so many ways beyond her place in the royal family. For starters, she is a leader, as noted by Vogue India, and she's been clear about that for years. "I love to work, to be honest," Markle once told Best Health in 2016. She's had many jobs before becoming a duchess; she appeared on Suits, ran her own blog, and now she's heading up charitable work in the royal family.

Leos are among the most regal of signs, and Markle shows that she's a princess (OK, not literally) every day with her style and grace in answering questions, interacting with fans, and handling hate from the outside, as Vogue noted. Markle also shows her Leo qualities in other ways; for example, she handles being in the spotlight like a pro, she's strong, she's inspiring, and she's brave in ways some could never understand.
