55 Leo Celebrities Who Truly Live Up To Their Zodiac Sign
Think: J.Lo, Halle Berry, and so many more.

Fact: Members of the Leo zodiac sign are super creative and absolutely *thrive* on being in the spotlight. That's why it makes purrrfect sense (get it—because the Leo symbol is a lion?) that some of your favorite celebrities just so happen to have birthdays that make them certifiable Leos. That's right, tons of stars out there are proud Leo signs, which means you've gotta learn all of them, STAT.
And just so you know, being a Leo is kiiind of a big deal when it comes to astrology. "Ruled by the Sun, Leo is the Lion—the king of the jungle," says Narayana Montúfar, senior astrologer at Horoscope.com and Astrology.com. This zodiac sign hones in tons of creativity and fiery magnetism, she explains, so it's a total no-brainer that so many of them are celebrities involved in movies, television shows, sports, politics, and more.
"This sign's traits put natives from this sign at the center stage of life," Montúfar adds. "Making an impression is job number one for Leos." As you can imagine, being perceived well by casting directors, coaches, and everyday citizens alike is pretty much a crucial part of being a successful public figure. Naturally, Leo celebs nail it when it comes to all of the above. (You are Leo, hear you roar!)
