Aibu to ask if you have a famous DH

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 💃

I am so famous that one day when I was on the Buckingham Palace balcony with King Charles, a woman in the crowd nudged my friend and said "who's that guy on the balcony? The one next to PigletJohn?"

You win.

Oh the DJ guy. From your other post.

Why do you think people care?

Fairly vacuous nonsense really.

💯 this

This thread is reminding me of the DH who was doing a T Rex in Asda - the OP is making little sense.

But do you think it’s ok to do a trex arms in Tesco?

Back in the 70s I had a boyfriend who was a bit famous. He went on to become very famous indeed. Now he's in prison, likely to be there for a good while. I'm also related to a child who had a part in a very famous period drama series, not sure that he remembers it though, he was only 3

this is wonderful

Lelophants · 29/03/2024 22:55

Op tell us you want to talk about your famous hunting without talking about your famous husband.

Are you happy?

I was on an episode of 80s TV show 'Why don't you?'

Love it.
My friend was on Wacaday playing Mallets Mallet. It was brilliant.

Omg that post was SO FUNNY ! Is it in classics?

Newsenmum · 29/03/2024 22:52

Mines so famous I sometimes wake up and faint!

Not really. But he does pay the bills.

AngelQuartz · 29/03/2024 22:50

Is your DDJ still going ahead with the year 6 leavers disco? Did you end up calling the other WhatsApp mum a ‘see you next Tuesday’ OP?

But, to answer this thread. No, my DH isn’t famous. But my father is. A sportsman, who also gets sponsored. He’s just a normal bloke.

Oh wait - I am semi famous! I won a competition as part of a group who tried to look like the spice girls! I am basically Victoria Beckham.

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 29/03/2024 22:34

No, I don’t think I’d like to be married to someone famous (I’m not married at all in fact)

My aunt is sort of famous. I think if someone close to you is famous, or at least well known, you don’t see them as famous but just as themselves.

My son is famous, but I rarely leave the house, have zero online presence apart from here, and still work as a cleaner. I am happy to live the way I do because he has well and truly earned everything he has achieved. I am immensely proud of him though.
Living anonymously is possible.

How can you rarely leave the house and work as a cleaner at the same time?

No one cares.

Why not make a life for yourself rather than hanging on his Z list coat tails?

I'm in a band - backing vocals.
We're not semi famous though. I think we have 700 followers on Facebook.
And I've not performed with them since Christmas because I've been too ill.

Do I win a prize?

BirthdayRainbow · 29/03/2024 22:30

Some of these posts have reminded me I was in the paper aged nine. My dc have all been in baby magazines. We've all been on the tv several times.

Blimey. I'm technically famous and have forgotten. After one tv appearance a lady came up to me in a supermarket carpark and said you're that lady off the tv, I said yes, she said your dc is so lovely. I hope she does well.

Sorry everyone for letting you all down. I denied you all the chance to mock/celebrate me.

😁😆

StarDolphins · 29/03/2024 22:26

Not my DH but my Auntie’s brother had a girlfriend whose 2nd cousin was godmother to a guy whose sister was in a band.

To be honest, I tend to just go about my life quietly in the hope that no one makes the connection. The last thing I need is for people harassing my to try & work back through the people to get an autograph.

Oh, you've just reminded me to do a bit of Eleveneriffing here.

My grandpa was once featured ON THE FRONT of the Scots' Magazine with an article on him inside!!

How d'ya like them apples @FoxyLoxyLoo ??? 😛

Charging for a disco for his child's class?

For sure, much more semi fame infamy awaits Calvin Harris Esq if he insists on following that route!

You just had to steal my thunder didn’t you? There was a photo of DH on his tractor and everything. 😂.

As my username suggests, I actually do have a fairly famous husband.

Why would it bother me? I am proud of him. We have very different careers but are both equally proud of each other. My manager laughs when I book time off to attend premieres and wrap parties as it sounds so far fetched in my field.
