Hertfordshire is a county filled with countless prominent and lesser-known celebrities and has been called home by many famous people in the past. Our county has many celebrities in almost every area, making it quite common for Hertfordshire residents to come across familiar faces they might have seen on their televisions.
Hertfordshire has been home to A-list actors and actresses, sportspeople, and other experts in their respected fields, where they experienced their childhoods and went on to have an impressive career. From small villages like Cuffley to crowded towns such as Hoddesdon, Borehamwood, and Hatfield – there are so many areas filled with well-known people.
We’re all very aware of Sir Lewis Hamilton’s Stevenage roots as well as the likes of former heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua, cyclist Laura Kenny, gymnast Max Whitlock and golfer Ian Poulter who all have called Herts home. From sporting talent, we also all recognise the large pool of actors and actresses, including Charlie Brooks, Rupert Grint, Shona McGarty, Lacey Turner and more.
