2016 is the year of the cheeky monkey from the twelve Chinese zodiacs, and the elemental sign for this year is "fire".

Those born in the year of the Fire Monkey are believed to be ambitious and adventurous, yet irritable. The last batch of people with Fire Monkey sign were those born in 1956.

The Monkey is known to be playful, so those with Monkey sign also possess traits such as curiosity, mischievousness, and cleverness – in short, they are the masters of pranks and practical jokes!

Thus, let's take a look at some international and regional celebrities who were born in the year of the Monkey!
