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?

Iddo is probably the closest, but this chap had more of an eccentric look about him, rather than handsome - could be because of his eyes.

I'm always so convinced I've got the right answer on these threads Grin

Ben Chaplin? Much older than 40, though, but still in good nick.

Dh was playing this game by himself last night, convinced that the bloke standing next to us at the zebra crossing was famous.
Anyway after much googling he did manage to identify who it was and I agreed they were the same person but I’d never set eyes on him before so would never in a million years have knew he was famous!
Hope you find out who it was OP, it can be a long and arduous game Grin

Richard E Grant was in Manchester then! I know that for a fact Wink

I had this once as was stood near someone who had a "memorable" voice so I'd presumed they must be doing a show in the town and I recognised them from songs/radio/podcasts.

Annoyed me for weeks then suddenly I heard the voice again.

Was the flipping clown at a kids birthday party we must have seen before. Hadn't recognised them without makeup. Such a letdown

Mario falcone? Confused don't think he's eccentric though

TheChosenTwo · 13/04/2022 19:26

@wobytide Grin Grin that’s brilliant!
We were in a restaurant last night and then dh was insisting that the voice of the man sitting behind me was identical to Chris moyles. I denied this strongly and turned to look - it was the bloke who worked there! If most definitely wasn’t Chris moyles Grin

BradleyCooperwillbemine · 13/04/2022 19:39

Its funny you mention Johnny Marr as my husband saw him in this same cafe a short while ago!

I am loving all the suggestions and appreciate everyones help. If I eventually find out who it is, I shall update.
