What’s Up With All the Henrys?
Half of the boys at my son’s preschool are named Henry. At the playground every weekend, it’s like a Henry reunion. When a parent at our coffee shop yells out “Henry, get away from the sugars!” all the kids in the store come running. And yes, this trend extends into Hollywood. DEEP into Hollywood. I count a baker’s dozen of celebrity Henrys, listed below. If you can think of any others, please let me know in the comments!
And now, you got it, a timeline of my 13 celebrity Henry kids:
