Louisiana: Reese Witherspoon
When people think about New Orleans, they think of Caujin food, dancing, Bourbon Street, drinking, hurricanes, and general madness. They don't usually think about Reese Witherspoon, who is the most popular celebrity to come out of the legendary port city. Some contenders for the title of most famous Louisiana natives are Lil Wayne and Frank Ocean.
Massachusetts: Mark Wahlberg
As you can see by the photo here, good ol' Marky Mark hasn't been eating as many burgers as he used to. If you didn't know already, Wahlberg is one of Boston's finest. He was born and raised in an impoverished family of nine. He struggled with drugs and imprisonment before he was able to break the pattern of poverty and hit the big screen.
