People born under the sign of Leo often see the world as their stage. They are incredibly creative, self-confident, and love being under the spotlight. If there is a sign of the zodiac perfect for showbusiness, it's this one. They also have tremendous leadership skills, so we can also see them looking for the spotlights in other areas -like running a company or leading a country. On the other hand, they can also be "too much" sometimes, and their behavior can be selfish and egocentric.

A Leo person loves applause, attention, and being recognized. So it is no surprise that some of the greatest pop stars in the world are born under this sign. Keep scrolling and discover more about them.

10 Geri Halliwell

If you grew up during the 90s, the chances are high that you loved Spice Girls songs. The British Girl band took over the pop music scenario, and they were everywhere. Unsurprisingly, the leader of the group was Geri Halliwell, a Leo. The sign is also known for having exceptional leadership skills and being very ambitious.

Of course, not everybody can deal very well with their personality. In 1998, the singer announced she was no longer part of Spice Girls due to differences with the group and also to take care of her mental health.

9 Charli XCX

If you are born a Leo, you probably have a lot of confidence, and you will not just sit back and wait for things to happen. You know you are talented, and being proactive is another characteristic of Leo people. That was how Charli XCX became famous. The singer started recording her first songs and posting them on MySpace. It didn't take long until someone offered her a contract.

That is another great thing about Leo. If they want something, they will make it happen, and they will not wait until someone offers them a chance.

8 Shawn Mendes

Shawn Mendes is only 21 years old, but he is already taking over the music industry. People are often impressed by his confidence, charisma, fantastic presence on stage, and he feels at home under the spotlight. Can you imagine which sign puts all those qualities together? Yes, he was born under the Leo sign.

The singer is very charming and seducing people seems to be a simple thing for him. He is just natural. It is no wonder Camilla Cabelo could not resist him. Another essential trait of Leo people is that they are often creative, and Mendes is no different. He wrote several songs on his debut album Handwritten.

7 Joe Jonas

Leos have a strong personality and will remain honest to themselves, not following a path just because people expect that from them. That means that they don't like to be told what to do. Joe Jonas is an excellent example of how Leo would behave in some situations. He is the son of a pastor, and his parents would expect their sons to be flawless and attend church, but he preferred to participate in punk-rock concerts.

People born under the Leo sign are often loyal. Just look at Joe and his relationship with his brothers.

6 Dua Lipa

Dua Lipa is only 24 years old, but she took pop music by storm, and we probably will see a lot of her in the coming years. The singer was only 20 years old when she became famous, and she worked very hard to be successful. That is another trait about people born under the Leo sign. They are unstoppable when they want something.

The singer is also a songwriter, and her songs reflect another Leo's trait: you will hardly have a second chance if you let them down.

5 Demi Lovato

Demi Lovato is sexy, powerful, and, for many people, she is a role model who is raising discussions about beauty standards, and she embraces that. She once said, "I feel like every public figure has been put in the public because they are meant for more than just singing."

A person born under the sign of Leo will have no problems in the lead or being the role model, and they enjoy it. Sometimes, it has nothing to do with altruism but with their need to be admired. Unsurprisingly, there are notable names in politics who are born under the Leo sign.

4 Whitney Houston

People born under the sign of Leo often have an overwhelming charisma, and they can light a room just with their presence. Whitney Houston is proof of that. The singer was born on August 9th and was one of the most talented singers ever, and we often hear that people used to be hypnotized by her personality when they were around. And she also had a smile that could light a room, so common with Leo people.

Unsurprisingly, Whitney was also very confident on stage and in studios. She is so confident that people even forget that her most famous song, I Will Always Love You, was not original, and Dolly Parton recorded the first version.

3 Mick Jagger

Leo people are known for being full of energy, and it isn't very easy to follow them. That explains how Mick Jagger can still walk 10 miles during a concert and work out six days a week. And watching the Rolling Stones will never give you the feeling you are seeing someone who is 75 years old performing.

Mick Jagger also has other Leo's traits. The singer has a sharp sense of fashion, and he is still very stylish. It also seems that he is still charming, as we have never seen Mick Jagger single.

2 Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez is gorgeous, and she knows it. She can manage dancing, acting, singing, and is one of the best performers in show business. Jennifer Lopez behaves like the world is her stage, and we love her for doing it.

Just a Leo could wear that iconic green Versace dress with so much confidence. As you might have heard, that outfit was responsible for creating Google Images. Unsurprisingly, J.Lo loves the spotlight, and, as a good Leo, she tries to show her multiple talents on stage and also in cinema.

1 Madonna

The Queen of Pop had to be a Leo, and no star represents the sign of Leo better than Madonna. The Like a Virgin singer was born on August 16th, and she exudes confidence and self-esteem. During an interview back in 1983, when Madonna was a brand new face, she said that her goal for the next year was to rule the world. Madonna also added that she doesn't feel scared because she always had too much confidence in herself.

And only a Leo could release music called B****, I'm Madonna. In short, there is no doubt the singer knows how important she is to the music industry.
