From Presidents to professional athletes, there are a whole lot of southpaws out there. Here are 21 left-handed celebrities you might not have known about.
Do any take you by surprise?
Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga might be pointing to her engagement ring from Taylor Kinney here, but she could just as well be showing off the fact that she’s left-handed.
Barack Obama
The POTUS, Barack Obama, is but one of many Presidents who are (or were) left-handed.
Justin Bieber
Justin Bieber is left-handed. It’s apparently his preferred hand for stogie smoking.
Angelina Jolie
One half of famous couple Brangelina, Angelina Jolie is a leftie.
Prince William
Prince William is left-handed like his dad. Since this seems to be genetic, maybe the Royal Baby will follow in their footsteps.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Sarah Jessica Parker is a southpaw! That means her alter ego Carrie Bradshaw was too!
Julia Roberts
Julia Roberts’ dominant hand is the left one. But her dominant teeth are all of them. We’re saying she has a great smile!
Bill Clinton
Yup, just like Obama, Clinton is all for universal health care. Oh, he’s also left-handed.
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen
While it’s typical for only ONE twin in a pair to be left-handed, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are BOTH lefties.
Tom Cruise
Tom Cruise is a leftie. That doesn’t get as much attention, however, as his crazy religious views get.
Oprah Winfrey
If being left handed in any way helped Oprah Winfrey become so successful, then we want to be left handed too.
Phil Mickelson
Apparently, being left handed gives people a predisposition to being good at golf. That’s the case for Phil Mickelson.
Demi Moore
Talk to the hand, Demi Moore is sort of saying here. My dominant left hand, that is!
Bill Gates
Billionaire computer genius Bill Gates is a leftie. Turns out being right-brained is really great for guys like him.
Matt Lauer
Matt Lauer keeps his mic-hand strong…errr…his left hand. Because he’s left-handed.
Jon Stewart
Jon Stewart emphatically uses his left hand to wave around his pen during tapings of The Daily Show. It’s become a thing of his.
Celine Dion
Celine Dion is a Canadian leftie. Not that there’s any correlation. She’s Canadian AND a leftie.
Nicole Kidman
Australian stunner and wife to Keith Urban, Nicole Kidman is a southpaw from Down Under.
Seth Rogan
Seth Rogan is a southie! Wonder if that’s the hand he uses to toke or if he keeps that one free for mocking KimYe?
Bruce Willis
Bruce Willis loves to die hard. Also, to write with his left hand.
Morgan Freeman
Morgan Freeman is a leftie. You’re reading this caption in Morgan Freeman’s voice right now, aren’t you?
