Help me identify a celeb

I was in a cafe in Manchester today and both my son and I thought we recognised a man. We assumed he was famous - actor/celeb. He was white, pretty tall, very dark slicked back hair with almost italian features - reminded me of a tall Frankie Dettori/Adrian Brody. Could have been anywhere between 25 and 40. Any ideas?

Oh this is so vague OP! I do love these threads though.

Any idea what kind of famous he is? Actor? Music? Sports?

My highly unlikely starter for ten is Hugo Taylor although I'm struggling to picture him in a caff in Manchester 🤣

Who is this white man with dark hair aged between 25 & 40
Seriously OP Hmm

SingleHandSue · 12/04/2022 22:08

No idea I’m sorry op, however I hope he does turn out to be a genuine celeb. Unlike the time me and my mum spotted a lady in a restaurant we were sure was off daytime telly.

Turned out she worked on the checkouts at Tesco. We knew we knew her from somewhere.

He's older but I immediately thought of Jake Canuso from BenidormConfused

Rylan?

I can't see Hugo Taylor going to Manchester - he seems a Chelsea dweller through & through!

Adam from Corrie?

InglouriousBasterd · 13/04/2022 01:36

Alastair McGowan? Only because I also recognised an man exactly of that description once and then realised it was him!

Father Todd Unctious

MsJuniper · 13/04/2022 01:47

Your description reminded me of Jamie Demetriou but I don't think his hair fits.

There's someone else whose face I can see but can't get the name. Will have a think. Love these threads!

Could you be any more vague? Grin

IEatChocolateForBreakfast · 13/04/2022 02:13

Seriously? You just assumed he was famous, so you decided to give the most basic vague description with the hope that someone would be able to guess from that? MN is filled with posts like this - although usually in style and beauty. I've never understood them.

Here, I've googled 'tall, dark and handsome' for you. This is the first pic that turned up. It's pretty much what you've described. Basic. It could be anyone. Including a good looking uni-Student who mowes your neighbours lawn in his spare time which is why you might recognise him

Gary off of Miranda

The one the Vicar of Dibley married

Dr Who (most of them)

Dr Turner off of Call the Midwife

The unacknowledged son of Stanley Tucci and Tracey Barlow

JaneJeffer · 13/04/2022 02:16

@IEatChocolateForBreakfast that reminded me of somewhere I used to work where when the really good looking next door neighbour mowed the lawn we would all gawp out the windows Diet Coke style.

Dick Dastardly?
