Michael Sheen went to the same school as me, unfortunately a few years after me. Anthony Hopkins was from a different part of the same town, so went to a different school, quite a few years before me and Richard Burton came from a village just outside town.
Mary Hopkin, oh yes, those were the days.
Christian Bale was born welsh but believe brought up in London.
