British Family Reacts | The Most Famous Person In Every US State

[@jennyavril1997]

Eminem was born Marshall Bruce Mathers III on October 17, 1972 in St. Joseph, Missouri, and was raised by his mother, Debbie Nelson Mathers, who settled the family in Warren, just outside Detroit when he was 11.

[@yungkidnf]

Yeap, his rap name "Eminem" comes from his initials being "M&M".

[@wesleybush8646]

Yes, I think there's some fudging of details here. Joe Biden was born in Pennsylvania, but moved to Delaware as a child. Most people associate Eminem with Detroit after the movie was named after 8 Mile Road in the city and where his career started. My brother was born in Arkansas, but that's not where he's lived most of his life.

[@yungkidnf]

​@@wesleybush8646 I sadly think the video makers are purely basing the video off where the person was born.

[@Alex.Kaleipahula]

Nice copy paste

[@morpho5539]

Thank you google lol

[@t2j0h09]

You're right Gaynor. I think they are stating their birth places, but that doesn't mean they grew up there. Eminem grew up in Detroit Michigan.

[@dannyp9537]

Hence the movie, "8 mile"

[@willrobinson4976]

You can be born in a certain state but didn't grow up in that state, your family could move while you are a baby or a very young child, so you identify with the state you grow up in. So, it will always be on record where you were born but, even though you were raised in another state.

[@Sleepingcoffee979]

No duh they aren't dumb

[@marydavis5234]

So true, I was born in Arizona and We moved to Vermont when I was 2 years old.

[@tHEdANKcRUSADER]

Yeah this was where people were born. Most were raised in another state and would never claim their birth state as a HOME STATE

Tim Allen’s tv show was Home Improvement & he is the star of the Santa Clause movies. He also is the voice of Buzz Lightyear in the Toy Story movies.

The one that might be the silliest is trying to compare is Mr. Beast and Amelia Earhart. She famously was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic and went missing along with her navigator trying to be the first woman to fly around the world in 1939. There are still at least a couple of news stories and documentaries about her every year and she's likely mentioned in many history classes. I'm not sure you can say the biggest KZbinr for a few years will be that relevant and taught in history class 80 or 90 years later. It's possible, but is pretty insulting to one of the few women who actually got mentioned in history classes for decades along with Eleanor Roosevelt, Cleopatra, Pocahontas, and Joan of Arc.

[@0z074]

I wanted to throw something when I saw that one. Amelia Earhart is a legend!

[@gacaptain]

I only learned who Mr. Beast is the other day. And it’s only because recently KZbinrs keep talking about him.

[@MoeDavinci]

2:20 The show Gaynor is referring to is called Home Improvement, such an underrated sitcom lol. Additionally, Tim Allen also is the voice behind Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story.

[@edgardosoto7513]

She's right to think that Eminem was from Michigan since most people associate him with Detroit

[@missireason8998]

Also, his group is D-12 for Detroit.

[@jariemonah]

3:25 Kanye West is known more for Illinois since he named his child Chicago after his city.

[@fantomfoto]

Whoever made the vid did a piss poor job. Gaynor is right, Eminem may have been born in Missouri but he was raised in and still lives in Michigan. It'd be like someone saying Aidan is from New Jersey..... yeah technically but he obviously would consider Britain to be home. Great reaction as usual guys!

[@kimzwolinski9919]

Eminem still lives in Michigan and he does sing about Detroit as well 😊

[@nancysexton4364]

Where you're born vs where you're raised are very often different states. People (especially young families) tend to move around before permanently settling down somewhere

8:02 Beyonce has openly stated in MANY of her songs that she is a "southern girl" and a "Texas Bama".

[@teacuptofu]

I'm surprised with Daz's history he hasn't ran into her in Houston 😂 But I can see if you've only heard her sing and not watch her interviews you wouldn't hear her southern accent

[@gacaptain]

Beyoncé is very southern. She even proclaims herself to be a “country” or southern girl in a few of her songs.

[@MoeDavinci]

2:58 Being From GA, some circles know that he's originally from here (His mom was a university professor at our prestigious AUC) but he considers himself a Chicago native. He (like many people on this list) didn't spend a significant amount of time in their birth state to be considered from there. I actually didn't know Julia Roberts from born and raised in GA until this video, wow lol.

[@MoeDavinci]

Kanye's last tour he did in 2021 he debuted his latest album in Atlanta, the same city where he was born.

[@bamachine]

You are more likely to know the voice of Tim Allen, he is Buzz Lightyear in the Toy Story movies. As for my state, Rosa Parks is not a bad choice and a historically significant one but she is likely less well known than many others from the state of Alabama. People tend to be more familiar with actors or politicians. Courtney Cox, Channing Tatum and Sela Ward were all born in Alabama. Condolezza Rice was born here. Hank Aaron and Willie Mays for baseball fans, Bo Jackson for football/baseball fans. Charles Barkley for basketball fans. Lionel Ritchie was born here, the Commodores and the Temptations started with a large portion of their members from Alabama.

[@mauryeetss3561]

Eminem lived in Detroit, Michigan. His early rap career began in Detroit with a group of rappers called D12 (to signify the 12 rappers as being from Detroit.) I'm an Eminem fan and I was also surprised to hear he was from Missouri and not Michigan.

[@EagleFang74]

Most people would think Eminem is from Michigan if you’re not well versed with his history. A lot of his personal story centers around Michigan and I think he still lives there. This whole list is pretty subjective though. There’s no way the Rock is more famous than Marilyn Monroe. I don’t think that The Rock will be as famous 60 years after his death as Marilyn still is today.

[@starparodier91]

I think Trey Parker & Matt Stone (creators of South Park) should’ve been the top for Colorado. The Colorado History Museum has selected clips that play from the show and they have a section. Even if you’re not a fan, South Park is iconic.

[@willvr4]

Idk who the most famous person from NY would be, and I'm from NY. Mariah Carey went to my high school, Michael Jordan was technically born in NY but his family moved to North Carolina when he was a kid so that doesn't really count. Edit : Gaynor, you're partially right about Eminem. He moved to an area around Detroit Michigan in his early teens with his mom.

[@sebastianblack6506]

Bruce Springsteen wasn't even mentioned for New Jersey, what a joke. These lists tend to be ridiculous. While Eminem spent time in Missouri as a youth, his formative years were in Detroit, which is where he should have been listed. Also, while Abraham Lincoln is from Kentucky and spent the first 8 years or so of his life there, Muhammad Ali was born there as well and is much more famous worldwide. People from every continent knew who Ali was, while most foreigners couldn't name Lincoln.

[@gacaptain]

Looks like the list was made from the point of view of a teenager. SMH!

[@ESUSAMEX]

Joe Biden is not from Delaware, but Pennsylvania. He was born and raised in Pennsylvania and moved to Delaware as an adult.

[@Furn-nx7kz]

Marilyn Monroe family were from Mexico. She fluent in Spanish, she was often seen in traditional attire from Mexico.

[@aka3927]

Walt Disney is known for his beginnings in Kansas City Missouri tho, not illinois. That’s just where he was born.

Trey Parker is one of the guys that made the animated TV show South Park based on a tiny town in Colorado named South Park. He’s worth millions and millions and just recently bought a state famous restaurant called Casa Bonita which is featured in the show multiple times.

[@kkandola9072]

Kanye was born in Atalanta but grew up in Southside Chicago .

[@hannahbrown187]

Eminem was born in Missouri but raised in Detroit. Kanye was born in Georgia, but lived in Chicago from the age of three and got his start there. Walt Disney was born in Illinois, but raised in Missouri from the age of four. Birthplace ≠ where someone is "from," or at least most Americans don't view it that way. Personally, I was born in Alabama and most of my extended family still live there, but we moved when I was three so I don't ever say I'm "from" Alabama (my people are!).

The NBA has way more white people in it than the stereotype of it not being racially diverse. In fact, on the most famous team Bird was on, three out of the five players on the starting lineup was white and so was the sixth man.

[@TES-541]

@@bobzyurunkel which I’m not arguing but that’s different than Gaynor saying “I think he was the only white guy on the team.” She’s not a fan obviously and no slight to her, but the common trope that it’s almost weird or shocking when a player, especially a famous or great player, is white. Especially nowadays when two or the three main MVP candidates are white and four of this years all stars are too. And I don’t actually care what race any player is. Just get a little bothered by the trope, as if athletes from all over don’t belong in a specific sport. Was just mentioning it to them. I didn’t think whatsoever there was any malicious intent or anything.
