My sibling is a celebrity AMA

[zedtree]

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.

AMA

Unlikely

I think it's Eddie Izzard. Sorry I can't remember their name now..
Suzy - edit to add

I think Victoria Coren-Mitchell would be a good laugh. She seems down to earth.

I’m thinking maybe a model or tv presenter. I understand you not wanting to say who they are OP, because then you can’t be honest without harming their privacy.

Interesting theory and I don’t disagree, from having a completely normal childhood there was then many important life experiences as a young adult that they didn’t get to experience in a normal way.

Very interesting thread, thank you.

Do you have family Christmas or other celebrations all together with parents and can the celebrity status be forgotten then?

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

Why are you defiant towards her? What about?

Really interesting OP about (I think you imply) letting their kids privacy go early on and then not being able to get it back.

If their kids are old enough to be thinking of their own jobs have they found it a struggle to settle to “normal” jobs or courses etc? I think kids of celebs often end up in a weird bind where they and everyone else experts them to become famous in their own right.

Are you Wayne Lineker?

That would be my guess too.

Great thread!

Did your parents have a role in them becoming famous (I appreciate they were a young adult so maybe less like a 'stage school' parent) but more perhaps encouraging them in the particular field, paying for or otherwise supporting that field? And if so, did that/ how did that affect your relationship with your parents?

Secondly, do you have other siblings and if so what's the relationship like there?

Thirdly, how old are your famous siblings' children and how are they approaching things like careers, life plans, etc?

Yes, we have normal family celebrations. It of course is sometimes mentioned in conversation but it is never gets in the way for close family.
Extended family get togethers have been harder in the past.

Who’s the most famous person your sibling has ever met?
What is the most out of touch thing you’ve ever heard them say?

OP has said it was a spelling mistake. They meant definitely 😊

No, our parents didn’t really have any part in it. They were given the same general support I was given.

We have another sibling and the relationship is similar, we are all close now but we haven’t always been.

Im hesitant to talk about the children as it would make my sibling easier to narrow down. But they have more than one child, at least one is planning a similar career.

Does she have a famous partner/husband or is it only her that is well known? If he isn't famous how does he deal with it all?

im guessing your related to someone in Ne Direction

I want to a wedding once when one of the guests was a famous actress recently on telly, Hannah Gordon. She was there because the groom was props manager on the series and was in.

The wedding evening event was definitely more about Hannah Gordon than the bride and the marriage didn't last.

Has your sibling been involved in any similar situations?

I definitely think you are Sophie price. Process is following her mother’s foot steps.

Have they ever had a stalker?

Yes Sophie was my guess too!

Is it difficult with family celebrations? Like if it’s your mum’s birthday and you get her something normal and your sibling can afford something massive? Or do you all agree a budget?

Do they end up staying at home a lot as a result of fame?

I don't think KP's daughter is planning to become a glamour model.

When out with your sibling, have you seen people sexually harass them?
