Party Like It’s (Finally) Your Birthday: Celebrities Born On Leap Year

Leap year babies have it rough. Because February 29th only rolls around once every four years, they only get to celebrate a quarter of their birthdays. And since some of these celebrities are technically young enough to still be in middle school, some of our ’90’s crushes feel a little bit awkward.
What’s with leap year anyway? Technically there are 365.24219 days in a year. To compensate for those extra hours, Julius Caesar tacked on an extra day in the calendar year way back in 46 BCE. Unfortunately for these stars, he apparently didn’t do too much thinking about all of the missed birthday celebrations he’d become responsible for.
But despite the fact that they only get to do it a couple of times a decade, we hope these celebrities are celebrating their leap year birthdays in style. If you’ve got a leap year birthday, let us know in the comments section so we can wish you a happy birthday too!
