Happy Birthday... Which Celebrities Have Their Birthdays Today?

Happy Birthday... Which Celebrities Have Their Birthdays Today?

We’ve got enough to make a pretty decent film, but that’s about it

Have you ever worked out who is your birthday five a side team? You basically look for celebrities who share a birthday with you - it helps if they are footballers, but it's not essential - and that is your line-up.

This Monday (5 February) was the best day of the year for it, probably. If that's your birthday you can have a team that contains Neymar, Cristiano Ronaldo, Carlos Tevez, Giovanni van Bronckhorst, or Gheorghe Hagi.

Not bad, eh? It works with bands too, or basically anything you want.

Today (Wednesday 7 February) would probably work best as some sort of comedy film line-up given who has their birthdays today.

First up is Chris Rock - the star of Dogma, Madagascar, and a whole load of sweary but hilarious comedy shows turns 53 today.

Another famous comic (and full time 'action transvestite') Eddie Izzard also has his birthday today. He's 56 years old and has recently moved into politics to run for a place on the National Executive Committee of the Labour Party.

He lost, though, so he will probably have to go back to his boring old day job, which has seen him release loads of massively successful stand-up shows as well as starring in Hollywood films and - for a laugh - running 43 marathons in 51 days for Sport Relief. Blimey.

Also in this fictional comedy movie that is starting to shape up pretty well is Ashton Kutcher. He was born on the 7 February in 1978 and is celebrating (or not, depending on his outlook) the big 40 today.

He has starred on the big and small screen throughout his career that has taken him from starting out on TV in That 70s Show to films such as The Butterfly Effect, and then back to the telly on Two and a Half Men.

He's also been married to Demi Moore, and is currently married to Mila Kunis (who was also in That 70s show) so Ashton does alright for himself.

Unfortunately the football team angle isn't too strong today though.

The star of the show is probably Sergi Roberto (who scored the winning goal in that ridiculous Barcelona vs PSG game in the Champions League but after that it's pretty slim pickings.

Gianluca Lapadula has scored a lot of goals in Italy and has his birthday today. Federico Marchetti also plays for Italy and he could at least go in goal.

After that you're struggling - though you could always rope in Mick McCarthy to manage, because it's his birthday today too.

Happy birthday Mick.
