Does it bother you? I have a semi famous DH, he gets paid to gig and go on podcasts etc if we go out locally he does get asked for selfies so we tend to go away for weekends as a family.

I do find it slightly annoying but I guess it pays the bills 💃

Well if we are talking magazines, I hate to cap you, but I had a joke published in "Whizzer and Chips" once.

I think I win the thread, thank you 👸👑

Oh you definitely do! ( I was paid £1 for a letter published in Bunty though )

There's a difference between famous and infamous, OP.

Mrbumpssmile · 29/03/2024 23:47

No, but my first ex looked like a very young Mick Jagger, so tourists used to stop and take photos of him, which he found embarrassing but I found hilarious.

Then my next ex has schizophrenia and often thinks he's famous and thinks people are stopping to take photos and talk to him, which he finds bemusing and I find hilarious.

My current DP isn't famous, but does get asked to do occasional podcasts and interviews and I admire his skill in those.

Rachel1509 · 29/03/2024 23:46

Sounds like another humble brag post to me

at my nursery a parent is a prestigious make up artist they did the face painting for free when they had a party

He should do the school disco for free for heavens sake, tight arse. As a mum I've volunteered at loads of school discos, didn't charge them a % of my normal hourly rate!!
I'd hate to have a famous partner and I wouldn't want to be famous myself. Loads of celebs seem to suffer with mental health problems nowadays, not surprised given all the trolling online.

And there I was thinking the Jackie poster won the thread. Is there no end to the famous people posting on here?

It’s a phrase we often use 😂. I remember beamer from my school days.

Loki64 · 29/03/2024 23:38

Yes my dh is famous and is on a regular tv series. He only gets stopped depending ib what area we are in. We live remotely.

Very slightly famous actor in the family. He's well known locally, but largely by his own efforts. I don't like it at all, it makes me cringe.

I always enjoyed Whizzer and Chips. It must be difficult for you to stay grounded after seeing that level of success.

"You don't know me,
You're too old,
Let go, it's over,
Nobody listens to techno."

I read your other thread and this song got stuck in my head.

You're married to Moby aren't you?

I remember being in year 9 and was staying at a friends house watching crime watch and her brother appeared on there and he was sat on the sofa next to us.

everyone in the house just went silent.

he did his time in the end.

You win! That’s quite the story

My DH was featured in The Scottish Farmer does that count as famous? Let’s face it, It’s a total red neck charging a PTA for doing a disco.

Now there's a story...

stormywhethers321 · 29/03/2024 23:34

I'm pretty sure a famous, or even "semi-famous", DJ doesn't have to worry that a children's cinema trip is going to be more enticing than one of his gigs.

toastandtwo · 29/03/2024 23:32

Mirabai · 29/03/2024 23:11

Overlooking the genesis of the thread, one of my school friend’s DH’s is now world famous and they’re very wealthy. A little bit of success and money is nice but this puts a big pressure on the relationship and she wishes it hadn’t happened.

That is pretty much what Jamie Oliver said on a lovely R4 show with Kirsty Young (but not DID, whatever her new one is… name escapes me). If he could go back in time he would rather just have a normal life owning a pub.

But he and your school friend’s DH are actually famous so I don’t suppose the OP has to worry about such things.

Omg your friend won an Oscar @SabrinaThwaite 😱😱😱 that is amazing.

At university, I went out with someone who had been in a My Guy photo story. Sadly, he slipped through my fingers and is now married to someone else.
