Have you got any famous friends?

[SauvingnonBlanketyBlanc]

I haven't and I don't know anyone that has.Must be weird to be on a night out and have constant attention from strangers.

[Whatthefunk]

I'm friends with the drummer, fro a very famous band. Nobody bothers him at all....

[eurgh]

I'm friends with a famous chef and aquatinted with a fairly powerful politician. They're just normal people

[SnappedandFartedagain]

Yes I’m good friends with an actress who is currently back in Eastenders. And another who used to be in Hollyoaks but is currently a SAHM.

[WouldHAVEcouldHAVEshouldHAVE]

Yes, some say hello.
Saw a man pointing and mouthing to someone else ‘that’s .....’ when she wasn’t looking.
But she goes about her business like everybody else.

[Bluntness100]

My best friend from school, who I was joined at the hip with till my twenties, her son is very famous, he's the lead singer in a huge band.

I find it odd as fuck if I'm honest . I look at him on the tv and think of the little lad throwing his crisps round my living room and struggle to reconcile the two. When we talk I really just ask how he is, in a how's the kids way, but don't allude to the fact that they've just announced a tour or has another hit or something. She will mention something, but in the same manner I do with my daughter, matter of fact way, and I'll say oh that's great yes I saw that, looks good, that sort of thing.

It really is all a bit weird. When I see screaming fans I think "you've got to be fucking kidding me".

[TulipFever]

Yes, an actor. Not my best friend, but someone I see regularly in a group of friends it's a bit strange, as I don't have a TV and the kind of films and TV he does are not the kind of thing I would ever watch if I did (so I've only ever seen him on stage, where he is very, very good) I think at some level, I didn't get that other people do watch this stuff, and that he is a huge deal.

[midsomermurderess]

One or two actors. Mostly quite ordinary people when it comes down to it, although for a while when one first experienced real success, he was quite the prat.

[BlackCatSleeping]

Yes, she's very lovely and down to earth, but i can't tell you who is it.

No, not really, but that's always how these threads go. It would be so much more interesting if people gave names and dirt. 😂

[SlightAggrandising]

Yes and as pp said, it's really weird. I tend to ignore his fame and take the piss out of his name dropping.

[mcjx]

Have regular contact with an A-lister and have also met her and her family privately a few years ago. Won't see who as could be outing..

[mcjx]

Say*

[Youmadorwhat]

I have an uncle in America who is the BIL of a very famous child actress (who doesn’t do a whole lot any more) they have a very famous circle of friends including famous photographers and ppl from Andy Warhol’s “group”.Their wedding was...interesting 😂

[Ihopeyourcakeisshit]

Yes it would be better if someone actually named someone, you wouldn't have to go into so much detail that it would break a confidence.

[Whatsallthisaboutthen]

Yes, an English actor who’s a lead in an popular American drama. He’s also been in GoT etc. I hate watching him on screen, it’s really weird. I avoid it!

[Pinkarsedfly]

Yes. Actor. More of an acquaintance. Seems a nice fella. It’s just a job 🤷🏼‍♀️

[SauvingnonBlanketyBlanc]

Please tell!

[CoffeeRunner]

These threads are a bit pointless without names TBH.

What’s so wrong with saying “I’m friends with Holly Willoughby” (for example).

No-one knows who you are anyway, and I don’t think the fact she has a friend is betraying her confidence at all.

[Redbluesky]

My cousin is a well known popstar, she's not changed a bit since she became famous but it is a bit weird hearing her on the radio or seeing her on the tv and thinking we were having sunday lunch at our nan's house together the other day 😂

[mcjx]

Naming the person I know would definitely out me. When I met her it was in a lot of national/international newspapers and magazines.

But I wish I could name the person!

[Ihopeyourcakeisshit]

Why would it out people, are you their only friend?

[AliasGrape]

Not proper famous but a comedian who is occasionally on tv, more regularly on radio. I enjoy hearing his radio show, find seeing him on tv weird but actually can’t bear to watch his stand up - he’s excellent but I just get too anxious for him. I once hid in the loo for the majority of his set then lied and said it was great afterwards. To be fair, unless I’m particularly drunk, I find watching stand up live really tense and anxiety inducing anyway - terrible second hand embarrassment in case they’re no good or die on stage.

[CostanzaG]

Yes I'm friends with an actor. He does get recognised but deals with I. In good grace.....as does his lovely wife.
It freaks my ds out a bit though when he sees him on TV!

@mcjx Naming the person I know would definitely out me.

How - again, are you the only person who has ever met this person? Name change if you don't want it linked to anything else

[TheFrendo]

Mick Jagger told me it was bad form to name drop.
