Well, I mean, I say ‘facts.’ I suppose that, if we were in a court of law, then there could be an argument that some of the ‘facts’ on this page aren’t strictly, from a legal point of view, true.
But I stand by ‘fun.’ These fun facts are definitely fun.
So, put your feet up, crack open a family-sized box of malteasers, and enjoy some fascinating facts* about your favourite stars.
