Notes
- ^ Olivia Newton-John was born in the United Kingdom and moved to Australia at the age of five. This makes her a British-born Australian.
- ^ The Bee Gees were born on the Isle of Man, a Crown dependency that is not part of the United Kingdom, and moved to the UK in their early childhood. In 1958, when oldest brother Barry was 12 and twins Robin and Maurice were 9, they moved to Australia and resided there for about ten years before moving back to the UK. This makes the Bee Gees Australian, English and Manx.
