Although Wikipedia lists his birthday as August 15, American actor, producer, creator and all around funnyman, Anthony Anderson on Saturday, August 13 celebrated his 42^nd birthday with fans in Ghana. The actor is in Ghana as the grand host for ‘The Spirited Actor: Search for Africa’s Next Hollywood Star’ reality TV series.

After recording the performance show for the Nigerian contestants and the announcement of the finalists who would head for New York to pursue their Hollywood dreams on Friday, Anthony announced to the audience that the following day was his birthday and he invited the public to come celebrate with him at the Boomerang Nightclub in Accra. And that’s exactly what the Ghanaian fans did on Saturday night when they trooped to the venue for the celebrity bash.

Before the event, Anthony put on his Twitter page, “Ghana come and celebrate my birthday tonight at Boomerang”. And after the celebrations he tweeted, “just getting from birthday celebration in Ghana! i haven’t seen the sun come up in a while!”
