Have you got any famous friends?

[SauvingnonBlanketyBlanc]

I haven't and I don't know anyone that has.Must be weird to be on a night out and have constant attention from strangers.

Ran it by her before posting, she doesn't mind him being named, so: my sister is friends with Andrew Scott. They met several years before he was in Sherlock, she says although she doesn't see him as often now he hasn't changed at all and is still a great guy to be around.

Very pleased to hear that Bear, I love Andrew Scott!

brizzlemint I got it 😁

A good friend of mine worked with someone who's sister is married to a famous comedian. She went on the woman's hen do and said the comedians bride to be was fabulous and very beautiful. She has met the comedian several times and says he is shy to the point of rudeness.
My uncle was best friends with someone who is the grandad of a member of a very successful boy band. When my mum was young they lived in the next street to the grandad.
My dp was the best man for a journalist who until recently was often on tv.
They are no longer close though but we have bumped into him and his wife.

Phil Tufnell used to be my next door neighbour. But he and his then wife divorced and they sold the house. Shame, as they were great neighbours.

I'm Facebook friends with James "Murr" Murray from Impractical Jokers, does that count? 🤷🏻‍♀️

I was friends with a very famous actor as a child (up to about age 7 when they moved). We used to play together every day. He used to blame me if anything went wrong. I often wonder if he remembers the fun we had ...

I have a famous cousin but haven't seen him for years as he is busy xxi am close to my aunt who also hasn't seen her son for long time fame eh!

I went to school with an actor who was in Brassed Off. He could be quite spiteful as a child.

A good friend of mine was in the Boo Radleys. He doesn't get recognised any more!

I went to school with a relatively well known Mummy blogger and with an ex Miss UK.

My DP is local-famous, he gets approached by fans every now and again.

I think you must live near me then, @purplereindeer, if you knew the Boo Radleys growing up.

@FromDespairToHere I'm glad that somebody did

I'm friends with hairdresser Phil Smith.

@BiBiBirdie JA? If so I’ve worked with him. Lovely man.

I went to primary school with someone who is married to an heir to the throne. Not ‘fwiend’ friends with them anymore really but would stop for a catch up if we met

My friend is currently playing the lead in Hamilton in the West End.

OMG @BearSoFair I scrolled along to your post just as I was idly thinking, I wonder if anyone knows Andrew Scott.

I'd only just recovered from a massive debilitating crush on him after Sherlock, when he pitched up in Fleabag. I find him so utterly engaging and charismatic, that I'm almost afraid to look directly at him - he is mesmerising.

I appreciate that if I were the last woman on earth I still wouldn't be his type, but he is still a beautiful man and an incredible actor.

I don't know anyone famous but I am apparently the spitting image of a very famous bollywood movie star - so much so that a client of my firm, an Arabian Prince, was struck dumb when I did some work at his office, and went all silly whenever I spoke to him.

I am not even of south east Asian origin (more Russian really), but I enjoyed the attention at the time.

Nigel Farage has had dinner with my parents several times

There’s a fairy famous actor living in our small village. He used to be in Corrie and LOVES being recognised, and alludes to the soap all the time, even though he left many moons ago. When he tried to chat me up in the local, he went on and on about being a famous television and theatre ac-TOR but I pretended I hadn’t a clue who he was. I got him to pose for a selfie with me, saying “My mum might know who you are.....” 😁

*How do you know they aren't faking it?

Well I’ve met her parents (DPs aunt and uncle), they’ve been married / together for years and there’s loads of photos of them. It would be a pretty good lie hmm*

@Ravenlg Never mind.....

@brizzlemint

My DH is mates with a WWE wrestler and we go to see him when he comes to the UK. I enjoy going backstage at events and seeing all the other wrestlers.

Once is unfortunate but several times ?

I once worked with a girl who's sister had a brief spell on emmerdale.

Far fetched but I'm going with it!
