   I'm Swedish and as a small nation we always proudly point out hey did you know famous person so and so is Swedish.

   But I had no idea Rebecca Ferguson, a k a Rebecca Louisa Ferguson Sundström, is Swedish! Ferguson is her mother's name. Her dad is a Swedish business man and her mom is English, but spent her adult life in Sweden. The mom seems vaguely in the music industry and translated some ABBA lyrics in the 70s. Rebecca grew up in Vasastaden in Stockholm and started her career in a Swedish soap opera.

   Even when she played Jenny Lind in The Greatest Showman nobody pointed this out to me!

     Coming from an even smaller country, I'd just like to point out that her maternal grandfather was Scottish, which is where the Ferguson name comes from. 😃

     @dwaltiz Maybe you didn't know they're Swedish, but I think you've heard of Dolph Lundgren (Universal Soldier, Rocky IV) and Peter Stormare (Fargo, Armageddon, American Gods).
