They are all household names who grew up in Sheffield and in many cases achieved fame while still living in the city.
While some have chosen to stay in the city which moulded them, others have moved away after achieving celebrity status.
Here we look at where Sheffield-made stars including Sean Bean, the Arctic Monkeys' Alex Turner and Harry Maguire have ended up, from LA to Paris, via London and Somerset.
In many cases they moved for their work, or sometimes for family reasons, and many still have strong links to the city and visit frequently, despite living hundreds of miles away.
Our list only includes celebrities who spent their formative years in Sheffield and not those who settled in the city after coming here later, so there's no place for TV presenter Dan Walker.
