Famous people.

[Beautifulbutterfly22]

Has anyone ever went to school/worked with or just knew before they became famous? Just wondering as I don't know anybody who is famous 😀 and what were they like ?

@SukiPook

My brother's an actor and novelist, and his wife's an actor too. She's more well known.. The Split and lots of other good things. I suppose he would have been best known for being in Primeval. If anyone remembers A Young Person's Guide to Being a Rockstar, he was the lead in that when he was a young'un in the 90s. He was in one Rimmel ad shortly after that where he had to kiss Kate Moss, so at the time he got a lot of recognition in our home town by envious lads his own age 😀. But he's not famous famous, by any means, especially not now. Which is good! I bet it would be highly annoying. He's well known in our home town. Oh yes his friend also from our town is v well known now cause of Line of Duty, and much more famous. Good old Aidy Dunbar aka Ted Hastings, catching bent coppers!

Is he Ciarán McMenamin??

Someone I was at school with is now a famous mummy blogger. She always talks about how she was bullied at school when actually she made my friends life hell for most of our school days.

One can fantasise

Yes, he's now a well-known actor and he was a totally obnoxious cock. It's all a bit pointless this, without saying who, but I don't really want to do that.

My Mum used to live next door to a couple who were both in a major 1990s TV drama. They were very kind to ds and I. With his additional needs a lot of people wouldn't have him at their children's parties but they always invited him. I never talked to them about their work. One night after ds had gone back to residential school I noticed the husband was in an episode of Heartbeat. I rang ds House mother and asked her to put it on. She asked why and I said she would soon find out. Two minutes later ds came charging out of the tv room. "E, E, my friend R is on the tv!!"
I saw R in the post office a few days later and I broke my rule and told him how excited ds was and he grinned broadly!!

Someone very famous on the music scene.
I think he was born cool.
I see a couple of my dc's friends now and just feel they're somehow different and will stand out from the crowd.

I was in the same school year and fairly friendly with a well known household name TV and radio presenter. She was bubbly and outgoing and already into broadcasting at a young age. It's great to see how well she's done.
