DD went to Cream Dream ( I know !) Cafe in London today ( she had a fabulous cake ) and was sitting next to a celebrity - Male, 50 + ish,, in a houndstooth jacket, wide trousers and a pink beret. other people asked for a photo, and apparently he was really nice to them, so we know it was someone famous, but who ????

AIBU to ask you all to help work out who it might have been ? ( sorry shoe horned into AIBU as I was hoping for a quick answer !)

Alan Cumming maybe? Sounds like his type of style and he is a really lovely man by all accounts

PenelopeTitsdrop1990 · 11/04/2024 10:05

Ah.

Its worth pointing out that I am in my 50s - perhaps I need a pink beret.

Still I look good for 70 !

Nah, after a certain age we all wear mauve - forget pink, get yourself a mauve one!😃

Sadiq Khan after more votes?

I love Dexys. 'Back in 68 in a sweaty club , Oh Geno!'

Was going to suggest Nigel Farage just for the craic. Is he 70 though? He's always looked the same.

diddl · 11/04/2024 09:02

Is Cream Dream still very pink?

Maybe he wore the pink beret as a nod to that if so!

Your dd thinking a 70 yr old is 50 is a compliment to Kevin but not really one for 50 yr olds lol. Good that it was solved as it’s the sort of the thing that can really bug you for days. Judging by the tweed suit I was going to guess Rocco Ritchie but he was far too young.

You are all amazing. I too spent the balance of the evening singing to Eileen.

And, at least on my computer, a trending thread - its a bucket list moment !!! Amazing what a nice man in a pink hat can do - am now moving on to singing Prince songs featuring fruit.

Thanks again for the help in identification

Richard E Grant? He lives nearby.

Lollybridge · 11/04/2024 08:42

70 is the new ...er, 65?

Good for him for still strutting his stuff but most 70 year old men cannot pull off a pink beret and tweed combo.

Was my first guess because I had a lovely smog with him in 1985.
A very lovely gentleman.
happy memories.

A smog? You must mean 1885.

@JudgeJ - Do other people get surprised when they realise that as they have aged so as the rest of the world, catches me out all the time? Friends' babies going off to Uni for example!

Yes! Other people's children get 'stuck' in my head at certain ages too.

I have twin nieces who i only see a couple of times a year. Year 2 now (so coming up to 7), running about screeching with all the other nieces and nephews at family get togethers. I'm always shocked to see them because in my mind they're still cruising round clinging to MILs furniture - and that's where they'll stay! 😂
