Celebrities using the bus!

[Bunbuns3]

So I live very close to a local celebrity. I have spotted this person standing at the bus stop and then boarding the bus on several occasions, most recently today. So this has got me wondering, how many other people have seen celebs board a bus? I know the tube is quite common for famous people to use, but just wondering if bus use is fairly common? Admittedly we do have a very good bus service where I live.

“Of course celebrities get the bus”

I’m not a celebrity and can’t remember the last time I got on a bus. It was certainly more than 25yrs ago though.

🤣 best guess yet!

But I thought they could walk 500 miles? … no need for a bus

Frank Skinner uses the bus as he uses his over 60s travel pass to get on for free. I imagine it's fairly common in London for B level and under celebs.

I sat in front of Timothy West and Prunella Scales once (about 15/16 years ago). They were on their way to the theatre and were having a lovely chat and making each other giggle.

AMAZING

I sat across from Francis Boulle from MIC on the bus in Notting Hill back when the series first started😂he was reading a book.

My late parents once sat behind Margaret Rutherford on a bus. Apparently she was exactly the same off-screen.

My friend used to live just around the corner from Feargal Sharkey, and we once walked past his house to see him busily hanging up curtains. (He wasn't on a bus, obviously, but had been spotted out and about in the vicinity of a bus stop).

Helen Mirren and Richard Briers used to stay at a very beautiful house in our village when appearing at a local theatre. Kit Haringtons family live here s

• bugger, pressed post. Kit Haringtons family live here so he is sometimes about. Doubt any of them ever take the bus here. One out in the morning. One back at 5pm.

I used to live in a very naice area of North London and would see Anne Marie Duff on the bus all the time.

And Julian Clary

I used to see Lesley Manville all the time.

What's a bus? 😂

Angus Young would blend in on both counts.

Also in Oxford, back in the hey day when the city was producing lots of bands, Radiohead, Supergrass and Ride were often seen on the buses to and from East Oxford

😂

Brill !!!! 🤣🤣🤣

I sat next to Anne-Marie Duff on the bus in North London: she was on the phone to someone (James McAvoy?) talking about what they were going to have for tea

Ooh. I wonder if you live near me. I quite often see a proclaimer waiting for a bus. Was it the number 10 into the city centre?

@Incywincyspi amazing 😁😁

Sandi Toksvig gets the bus. She's written a really charming book about it www.amazon.co.uk/Between-Stops-Number-long-awaited-British/dp/0349006407/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=B09PN6TM0OU&keywords=sandi+toksvig&qid=1658388097&sprefix=sandi+%2Caps%2C214&sr=8-3

We also have a local theatre and I often see the actors walking through town to and from the train station. Some of my neighbours host actors, so it’s not unusual to bump into people like Caroline Quentin as I wander round.

I've seen a few celebs on Ryanair / easyJet flights in the cheap seats (with me lol)

Yes - flew back from Italy on EasyJet with Guy Garvey and Rachael Stirling sitting a few rows away several years ago (we had been to see Elbow play a couple of days previously).
