He's even less well known than Steve Irwin now and is in fourth. Kidman and Jackman make sense since they've been around longer and have had more variety of roles to reach a broader audience.

Because Chris Hemsworth is probably the most talkative person in this entire quiz, and thus everybody has heard his accent and remembers he’s Aussie. (That’s my theory and I’m sticking to it.)

Keith Lionel Urban (born 26 October 1967) is a New Zealand-Australian singer.

You can have more than one nationality.

There's a special Australia-New Zealand thing whereby we each claim some celebrities that were born in the other country WHEN WE LIKE THEM, but disown them WHEN WE DON'T.

In this case, New Zealand gets to keep Keith Urban.

Nicole Kidman was born in Hawaii, so by that theory, she shouldn't be on here either.

So are you saying that because she wasn't born in Australia, it means she isn't Australian? That doesn't make sense. Isla Fischer was born in Oman and Olivia Newton-John was born in United Kingdom. Julia Gillard and Tony Abbot were born in Wales and England and they were Prime Ministers.

Someone was saying that Keith Urban isn't Australian, he should be a New Zealender. I used the example of Nicole Kidman because she's clearly Australian even if she wasn't born there. So yes, I agree with you NellyFurtado.

With all due respect, I don’t think that just because *you* don’t know who these folks are, that doesn’t make them obscure.

It's amazing how many people on this site think that the definition of 'famous' or 'well-known' is "things I personally have heard of".

Yeah, but it's only cricket which is played in about 10% of the world, so 31% isn't bad

Don't worry, it's all the way up to 32% now!

Honestly though, I'm sure more than 32% have heard of him since he comes up all the time when people talk about Jordan, Gretzky, Brady, etc.; however, his name is hard to remember since it's pretty generic-sounding while not actually being generic and thus difficult to guess if you can't actually remember it.

Rod Laver (Tennis) Margaret Court (Tennis) Mary Mackillop (St Mary of the Cross), Douglas Mawson (Antarctic Explorer), Albert Namatjira (Artist) William Bragg (Nobel Laureate) , Kingsford-Smith (first flight England - Australia) ..... just to name a few that unlike pop singers and movie stars will be famous when 'celebs' are long forgotten.

William Bragg is a physicist who did something with x-rays (I'm not a scientist, so don't really understand it). However, it's a stretch to call him Australian. He was born and died in England and only spent 23 of his 79 years in Australia, although he made a big impression on the University of Adelaide while in the land down under.
