  • Reese Witherspoon, who became known through Legally Blonde and is dubbed Hollywood’s most powerful woman, was born under the Chinese zodiac sign
  • Others include The Godfather’s Al Pacino, martial arts star Chuck Norris and Colin Farrell – who recently starred in The Banshees of Inisherin

The upcoming Year of the Dragon promises to bring power, strength and energy – something actors born in the year have shown to have in abundance.
The Year of the Dragon starts in February and is observed every 12 years. This year will see the Year of the Wood Dragon, which is celebrated every 60 years.

“It (the Dragon) incorporates the most powerful things of all kinds of creatures into one. That’s why people love it, because if you’re a dragon, you’re everything,” Canada-based feng shui master Paul Ng told CBC previously.
