As far as astrological signs go, Geminis get a bad wrap. Yes, they can be a bit sassy and maybe a tad two-faced (Geminis are represented by twins, after all), but they’re also incredibly intelligent, curious, and talkative. There’s an abundance of talented athletes, musicians, and actors who were born Geminis, including Marilyn Monroe, Brooke Shields, and Tom Holland. That said, let’s dive into what makes a Gemini so unique.
For one, Gemini is an air sign, which means they’re naturally witty, intelligent, and playful people. Add in the fact that they’re also a mutable sign, so they’re flexible and adaptable. Together, these two traits provide them with their social butterfly nature. Gemini is also ruled by Mercury, the planet of travel and communication, so it makes sense that many Gems are talented actors, songwriters, speakers, or writers. (Just look at how quickly Kendrick Lamar was able to pen those Drake diss tracks.)
Here are 60 celebrities who you might be surprised to learn are Geminis.

Jolie is the ultimate multitasker. As an actor, humanitarian, and mom, she’s constantly shifting among roles and communities, like any social butterfly Gem would.
