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?

@ColourfulOnesie

Who is this white man with dark hair aged between 25 & 40 Seriously OP Hmm
It's a common game on MN and some of us love it. Guess the book / person / song. If you don't like it, jog along.

Giovanni Pernice from Strictly? White, tall, Italian, dark slicked back hair, 31, began his tour yesterday in Doncaster so he’s vaguely in the right area at least?

My first thought was either Beppe from Eastenders or Antonio Banderas 🤣🤣

I couldn't find this thread, so assumed I hadn't pressed the post button!

I put in as much detail as possible, but realise it is still quite vague, but I know a lot of people enjoy these type of threads and find them fun. I am fairly sure I would have recognised Hugh Jackman - yum.

He was very thin and angular and his eyes were hooded and slightly protruding. He wouldn't have looked out of place in a mafia type gangster film .

Thank you for all the helpful replies.
