VINCE VAUGHN

He was raised in suburban Buffalo Grove and Lake Forest, and during his formative childhood years was infected with the Cubs virus.

He became a movie star when the film "Swingers" came out, and followed that up with comedy classics like "Old School," "Dodgeball," and "The Wedding Crashers."

In 2005-2006, he co-wrote, produced, and starred in the movie "The Break Up" (with Jennifer Aniston) and insisted that it be filmed in Chicago. The opening scene in the film actually takes place at Wrigley Field.

During the filming, the Vaughn and Aniston became an item, and People Magazine reported that they liked to hang out at Wrigley Field together...

"Now when Vaughn visits home, he is more likely to catch a Cubs game with Aniston, as they did on Memorial Day, than hit the singles' scene. Says Tim Juliusson, owner of the Holiday Club, where Vaughn took Aniston last summer: "They're in couples-mode now."

That didn't last long, but his love affair with the Cubs and Chicago remains strong. Vaughn decided to keep Chicago as a semi-permanent residence. He purchased a River North condo, made even more frequent visits back to his home town, and whenever he came to Chicago, he was sure to visit Wrigley Field to watch his favorite team play.

He still sings at Take Me Out to the Ballgame at least once a year.

He may be a Hollywood superstar, but Vince Vaughn will also forever be what he was growing up in Buffalo Grove and Lake Forest.

A Cubs fan.
