Madison Mealy
Madison Melly was born under the sign of Aries. Aries is one of the most active signs because it is ruled by Mars and falls into the fire group (along with Leo and Sagittarius). Astrologers say that Aries always bring a strong and unstoppable start. They always seek fun, speed and victory, and try to be the first in everything they do - at work or with people. They move quickly and often act before thinking too much.
Madison Melly was also born in the year of the Ox. In the Chinese zodiac, the Ox is a strong, stable and focused type. They like details, work hard and do not give up easily. They are mostly serious and calm, and sometimes they feel lonely or uncertain. But they remain loyal, caring for those close to them, and always try to protect and help their faithful.
Cillian Murphy
Cillian Murphy was born on May 25, 1976, in Douglas, County Cork, Ireland. He grew up in Ballintemple, Cork. His father worked in the Irish Department of Education, and his mother taught French. By the age of ten, Murphy was already making music and writing songs.
He attended Presentation Brothers College, a Catholic school. He did well in class but often got into trouble. At that school, he acted in a play for the first time. His English teacher, William Wall, who was a writer, saw his talent and encouraged him to consider acting.
But Murphy wanted to be a musician. He sang and played guitar in a band with his brother. He liked the Beatles and Frank Zappa and named his band The Sons of Mr. Greenjeans. A music label called Acid Jazz Records offered him a five-album deal, but they turned him down. Murphy later said he was glad they didn't accept the deal.
In 1996, Murphy began studying law at University College Cork. But he failed his first exam because he spent more time with his band than studying. While at college, he acted in two plays: "Observe the Sons of Ulster Marching Towards the Somme" and "Little Shop of Horrors".
