Clive James being another.

It's a moot point in my opinion about Nicole Kidman and Mel Gibson - they could both equally be described as famous Americans as they were both born in the USA.

Plenty of famous Brits have ditched the shores of beloved Blighty for the glitzy lights of the US.

I think they leave to find fame outside Australia and take their careers to the next level.

I'm surprised the guy's never mentioned Elle Macpherson and what about Olivia Newton John, do you think she could be related to those other Newtons?

You laugh, but she could well be related. Her father was in British Intelligence during WWII. He was also involved with working on the decyphering of the Enigma machine out of Bletchley Park. Her mum was the daughter of a Nobel Prize winning physicist too.
