I won’t be saying who they are.

I recently spoke to a friend about it who
had lots of questions which lead to an interesting conversation, things I’d never said or thought about before.

When I was younger I used to feel incredibly jealous of them and had a very short and unsuccessful attempt at creating my own fame.

Now I’m older with my own dc and have seen the effects up close I definitely think the negatives out way the positives and it’s not something I would ever want for my children.

You are a very angry person. Calm down

Yes and they’ve been excluded from or chose not to attend friends events to avoid this.

Once one person asks for a photo everyone seems to decide they want one too even without needing to like or be interested in them.

I wouldn't want a photo with Katie Price.

Can’t believe you’ve made out like they’re some major celeb and then the most famous person they’ve met is Simon Cowell

Was fame/fortune/power/inlfuence the driver for their chosen career? Or was it something they had a passion for/another objective that motivated them and fame was a byproduct?

Fame and fortune was definitely a driver but they didn’t expect or plan for the level of fame they got. They enjoyed/enjoy their job and would still have without the fame side.

For some reason my mind went to Mel b and her younger sister

InOverMyHead84 · Yesterday 20:23

First thought here was someone along the lines of Kara and Hannah Tointon. But, I know that this speculation will remain just that.

My question; Does your older sibling like to go somewhere foreign for anonymity?

He’s a singer though

She listed other famous people they’d met too. David beckham is pretty famous

Do you think objectively they are very talented in their field? Or was their success more down to luck and determination rather than actual talent and skill?

Would you be a fan of theirs if you weren't related?

Do they have any cosmetic surgery and if so what? Do you think their success felt very reliant on their appearance?

What are the main material possessions they have now to show for their fame?

Did you ever want to be a celebrity yourself?

Thank you very much xx

Talent and skill gets you nowhere unless you have the determination - and the luck to be in the right place at the right time. Sometimes you have to be in a lot of places a lot of times, and have the determination to keep going no matter what.

Why? She’s a singer that’s known globally, so doesn’t fit the description at all

Lifejigsaw · Yesterday 20:25

I’m finding this really interesting, as long as I scroll past all the people bickering and winging that the OP isn’t doing exactly what they want.

OP, do you think it’s affected their personal, romantic relationships? You mentioned hangers on, so in wondered about that side.

in a parallel universe, what do you think their life would be like?

BreadInCaptivity · Yesterday 20:25

Some clue to as what sort of celebrity they are would make it clearer as to whether we would consider them renowned famous.

Why does it matter?

They could be a TV presenter, sports personality or model (the OP only said not acting or music and not A list but UK famous).

Given charisma was a trait in becoming famous I’d consider it’s more likely to be a TV/radio presenter or similar.

I think it’s interesting regardless of who the person is and I understand the OP not wanting to disclose some details due to her sibling having children.

So my question would be OP how has their experience changed your opinion of fame and potentially that your children?

I ask as in the social media world it’s more apparent that lots of young people strive to be “known”.

Personally I can’t think of anything I’d dislike more in terms of feeling angst about going out and about and being hassled by people 😃.

Exactly. There is no way this is about KP.

2026letsgo · Yesterday 20:27

Which bit of fame is the bit that irks? Which bit do you think is brilliant?

I think they are horribly overpaid. That irks. I think having to be nice and cheery in public is brilliant.

WoollyandSarah · Yesterday 20:28

I reckon you're James Middleton. Nice dogs.

Sure, true. Just seemed that naming David B, Simon Cowell and Sharon Osbourne was scraping the barrel a bit.

pouletvous · Yesterday 20:29

Do they have a celebrity partner/spouse?

Considering they’re not an A list celeb and only famous in the Uk, who did you want?

Quite a lot of them do, so that's not going to narrow it down much.😂

pouletvous · Yesterday 20:33

does your sibling live an open life on social media?
