I'm sure there are a few of these:

Boris Johnston US/UK British politician - Born New York.

The US consideres that anyone born in the US to be a US citizen.  And subject to US income taxes.

I read a while ago that the IRS wanted Boris to pay taxes that had to do with the selling of a house.

When Angelina Jolie adopted 1 of her kids she got a Cambodian passport with it.

I read that about Boris - I think he's given up his us citizenship now.  But I thought I'd add him and he was the first and only one that came to mind at the time.

I believe many Canadian actors and performers have gotten dual citizenship over the years.  Michael J. Fox, Dan Ackroyd, and Neil Young come to mind.

From memory, two more British politicians with dual citizenship:

Michael Portillo (Spanish father, Scottish mother)
Sir Winston Churchill (English father, American mother)

45th mother is Scottish.

Mike Pence's grandfather is Irish.

45th mother is Scottish.

Mike Pence's grandfather is Irish.

To the best of my knowledge, neither of them has dual citizenship. One of them made rather a stink about his predecessor's nationality, actually.

Fair point - I only mentioned to illustrate they could potentially have it.

Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock.  He didn't get Canadian citizenship until 2009 when some Canadian laws were changed.  His father is from Nova Scotia.

I wonder how many people there are like me who missed out on US citizenship simply because the paperwork wasn't filed before they turned 18?

Jeez, Keanu Reeves is all over the place.  But if I'm reading correctly, he only holds actual citizenship in Canada.  Not sure what "entitled to British citizenship" means.

Jeez, Keanu Reeves is all over the place.  But if I'm reading correctly, he only holds actual citizenship in Canada.  Not sure what "entitled to British citizenship" means.

As a Canadian citizen, if any of Keanu's parents or parent's parents were/are citizens of the United Kingdom, whether through birthplace or via naturalisation, he's eligible to become a British citizen also, if he so desires. His mother is English (from Essex). Since his father was an American from Hawaii, he's also American. As far as I know, he only holds a Canadian passport.

Further twist: he was born in Beirut. No idea of whether he is eligible for a Lebanese passport in addition to a UK and an American one.
