Jason Momoa is one of many famous faces whose birthdays falls in August.
August is home to the bold Leos and the meticulous Virgos. Anyone born between July 23 and Aug. 22 is a Leo, while those born between Aug. 23 and mid-September are Virgos. Leos are often described as natural leaders, driven and determined, while Virgos are practical and detail-oriented. Curious which celebrities celebrate their birthdays in August? You might just share your special day with a star!
