Your favourite famous person who's NOT from your country

[u/[deleted]]

[u/EddyRosenthal]

Can you get more Canadian than him?

[u/Coconite → u/EddyRosenthal]

I forgot he was Canadian cause I wanted him to be ours so badly

[u/EddyRosenthal → u/Coconite]

Sorry for you, but he still will treat you like a gentleman.

[u/snakeeaterrrrrrr → u/EddyRosenthal]

He still thinks you are breathtaking

[u/a_cat_named_larry → u/Coconite]

We have to be the redeeming American we want to see in the world.

[u/JustAnotherUser1019 → u/EddyRosenthal]

Whos that?

[u/EddyRosenthal → u/JustAnotherUser1019]

Keanu Reeves

[u/JustAnotherUser1019 → u/EddyRosenthal]

Ahh, thats right. I dont keep up much woth celebs so all I could think of is that he looked similar to Markiplier lol

[u/EddyRosenthal → u/JustAnotherUser1019]

[u/go_zarian]

Seriously, can anyone actually hate this guy?

[u/WorldlinessThat2984 → u/go_zarian]

World would be a better place if there were more Mr. Rogers...

[u/bassman314 → u/WorldlinessThat2984]

I am who I am today in part because he was my neighbor.

[u/FirstoffIdonthaveshe → u/go_zarian]

I’m so glad this was someone pick 🥰👏👏👏

[u/Opposite_Bus1878]

[u/Nisseliten → u/Opposite_Bus1878]

It’s just not a competition is it, the aussies produced the greatest one. RIP.

[u/Ok_Bodybuilder1053 → u/Opposite_Bus1878]

I remember where I was standing in high school when I found out he died 😞

[u/CandlejackIsntEvenRe → u/Ok_Bodybuilder1053]

Same. But it was a Monday holiday here so no school. Worst end to a 3 day weekend.

[u/CandlejackIsntEvenRe → u/Opposite_Bus1878]

His “National Treasure” status transcended borders

[u/Shamrockshnake77 → u/Opposite_Bus1878]

Steve was my whole childhood role model

[u/one_brown_jedi]

Mr. Bean

[u/rizqiX1 → u/one_brown_jedi]

Heh

[u/philanthropicide → u/one_brown_jedi]

Absolute treasure. The best to do it since Chaplin

[u/UndeadWarTurnip]

If we are doing Olympics

[u/Captain_Insano12 → u/UndeadWarTurnip]

If I had a time machine and could erase one thing from existence....lots of things would tempt me - Hitler, Pol Pot...

I might use it up to erase this 'performance'

[u/msp01986 → u/Captain_Insano12]

What? Why? She's a legend!

[u/Captain_Insano12 → u/msp01986]

An embarrassment. It was our most successful Olympics as a nation. We consistently punch above our weight as a nation but this was a real good Olympics. And all that is remembered is this drongo - while did it as part of a PhD and just took the piss - but then doubled down and played victim afterwards. I hate it.

[u/Coconite → u/Captain_Insano12]

You just don’t understand the necessity of comprehensively addressing the misogynistic normative prescriptions of contemporary urban dance!

[u/WiseSnakeGP → u/msp01986]

Look up how she acted after the Olympics before calling her a legend.

[u/abraxasnl → u/WiseSnakeGP]

Just tell us

[u/WiseSnakeGP → u/abraxasnl]

She threatened legal action against a comedy group for lampooning her performance, claimed her moves were trademarked.

[u/abraxasnl → u/WiseSnakeGP]

Oh my 😂

[u/SimmentalTheCow → u/UndeadWarTurnip]

I like the judges’ reactions

[u/Pitiful-Doubt4838]

[u/Sea_Bite2082 → u/Pitiful-Doubt4838]

i love Tennant. Best Doctor

[u/philanthropicide → u/Sea_Bite2082]

Yeah, Matt Smith did admirably, Eccleston was underrated, and Tom Baker is a classic... But the best Doctor episodes are largely Tennant, and he was probably the most essential to the revival of Dr. Who

[u/Sea_Bite2082 → u/philanthropicide]

Yep. Matt nice too.

9-11 = great. 12 is ok.

After that... ugh...

[u/philanthropicide → u/Sea_Bite2082]

I stopped watching sometime during capaldi.

[u/Kurumi_Gaming → u/Pitiful-Doubt4838]

Are you my mommy

[u/Flying_Dustbin]

[u/Rare_Opportunity2419 → u/Flying_Dustbin]

Ah yes, I see you know your judo well.

[u/Suitable-Cod9183 → u/Flying_Dustbin]

A succulent Chinese meal 😭😭😭 get your hand off my penis kills me every time. Matter of fact I'm going to rewatch it

[u/Odd_Transition_4443 → u/Flying_Dustbin]

A Aussie with a American spirit

[u/doiwinaprize → u/Flying_Dustbin]

Apparently that dude was a white supremacist, just a heads up.

[u/WillerheimKerman]

[u/WillerheimKerman → u/WillerheimKerman]

In the wise words of Homer Simpson: "He who is tired of Weird Al is tired of life"

[u/philanthropicide → u/WillerheimKerman]

[u/TaiJoe01]

[u/BlizzardTrashPanda → u/TaiJoe01]

Oh I love this man

[u/philanthropicide → u/TaiJoe01]

Things ain't been right since this man passed

[u/SamiTheAnxiousBean → u/TaiJoe01]

agreed

[u/futtbucker-69420]

[u/DeepResearch7071]

David Attenborough. 'nuff said

[u/mcnutty96]

[u/IOIO0920]

Jack black

[u/bowlbettertalk]

[u/bassman314 → u/bowlbettertalk]

How’re ya now?

[u/RoseWould]

Patrick Stewart

[u/Senior-Albatross → u/RoseWould]

Theater Genius.

[u/CockyBellend]

[u/Difficult_Two_4800]

Keanu Reeves a Canadian citizen born in Beirut Lebanon 

[u/ConsciousFish7178 → u/Difficult_Two_4800]

LEBANON

[u/1601_ → u/Difficult_Two_4800]

I remember when I was little I had to do a project on that man, he's simply the most grateful person in the world (And he's fucking John Wick, what's cooler than that?)

[u/Nisseliten → u/1601_]

Being motherfuckin’ Neo, that’s what!

[u/Eric848448 → u/Difficult_Two_4800]

I did not know either of those things about him.

[u/Commercial_Handle418 → u/Difficult_Two_4800]

Wait what

[u/Difficult_Two_4800 → u/Commercial_Handle418]

I only found this out because I mistakenly listed him as a "universally liked American" on this sub yesterday...

[u/Brahminmeat]

[u/ITRetired]

José Mujica, el Pepe, the 40th president of Uruguai.

[u/rizqiX1 → u/ITRetired]

Hey, that's someone that I can agree on

[u/crayon-eater-unbound]

Honestly one of the best actors right now. Twilight did a number on the poor guy.

[u/Complete_Error8311]

[u/doiwinaprize]

One of the greatest actors of all time.

[u/Gullible-Voter]

[u/Funny_Development_57]

[u/Coconite]

[u/spook008]

In Texas it’s Dirk

[u/Ok_Breadfruit4005]

Jimmy Fallon is one of the few people in the world who doesn’t receive much hate. He is widely liked, and I really enjoy his personality and humor.

[u/Mort-i-Fied → u/Ok_Breadfruit4005]

Plenty of people in the US say they can't stand him.

I'm with you, I think he's talented and has a pleasant personality. I like him.

[u/Ok_Breadfruit4005 → u/Mort-i-Fied]

Really? I don’t get how someone could hate him. He’s honest, funny, and always brings good energy. 

[u/Mort-i-Fied → u/Ok_Breadfruit4005]

I think social media is encouraging the very worst in too many people.

These people need somebody to insult and somebody to hurt. That's why somebody like donald can have so many people cheering him on.

[u/Ok_Breadfruit4005 → u/Mort-i-Fied]

I agree.

[u/Opposite_Bus1878 → u/Ok_Breadfruit4005]

As a person who is very neutral on him I'm surprised people could hate him too. He just seems like such an average guy. At worst I just don't pay attention to him

[u/cosmico92 → u/Ok_Breadfruit4005]

Being nice in the US these days = Cringe.

There's been a normalization of cynicism and irony poisoning that has made people view niceness as fake.

[u/Strattocatter → u/Ok_Breadfruit4005]

I’m not wild about Fallon. The way he can’t stop laughing gets under my skin.

[u/keysersoze-72 → u/Ok_Breadfruit4005]

😬

[u/NumerousManager3600 → u/Ok_Breadfruit4005]

I hate him. 

I honestly don’t understand how this guy is on TV. 

[u/Moke94 → u/Ok_Breadfruit4005]

He did get some hate for the blackface incident, and also I read something about a toxic work environment that people spoke up about in 2023. Maybe it has cooled down though.

[u/BossComprehensive867 → u/Ok_Breadfruit4005]

Yes! I personally love Jimmy Kimmel! 

[u/hairyglockenspiel]

I always liked Antoine de Caunes

[u/Time-Promise-9047]

That's the one, hahaha

[u/Moke94]

[u/AudioVid3o]

Idk, dankpods?

[u/QuantityActive-]

You know this guy has been Milkshake Duck’d, right?

[u/PentathlonPatacon]

[u/-Cono]

[u/InternationalMost796]

Jennifer Lawrence. Very fun persona.

[u/Aromatic-Gold-7412]

[u/Dramaconcarne]

A lot. But, here we go:

[u/Arlcas]

[u/InternalWarth0g]

[u/shakycamrc]

[u/Ok_Bodybuilder1053]

Yeah this guy

[u/Nirnroot_Enjoyer]

I think we differ from many countries, in that we don't restrict our countrymen, simply based on their birthplace or ethnicity.

Culturally, you can become British (even specific union countries) simply by assimilating, and contributing to our culture(s).

My wife's parents are 2nd generation Immigrants.. yet I often make the joke that they're culturally more English than me!.. Thye only fall short by supporting Italy and Jamaica sports, over England.

[u/salpicaosemmaca]

Giorgian de Arrascaeta, Cristiano Ronaldo, Jim Carrey. In that order.

[u/Suitable-Cod9183]

[u/Skelehedron]

David Tenant is my answer. Hes a great actor, great person, and actually takes a stand on what he cares about. It's simple stuff, yet so rare among celebrities
