What are your vague celebrity connections?

[ANewNameForThisThread]

What are your barely related celebrity connections? Not the "I'm Bruce Springsteen's Sister " type but the much more loosely connected "Friend of my Uncle's milkman's brother" kind?

I live in the same street as an iconic singer. Can’t say who but my gosh I can’t believe my luck. Absolutely love this person. Have pictures of this person in my house. Looked out of my window one day and saw this person.

My granny was friends with Jamie Dornan's granny! They went to church together.

I've hugged jenson buttons mum cause she was crying.
I had a cuppa with toploader.

I want to tell you about my connection to Rick Astley but it is outing lol.

English actress whose father was my father's best man.

My uncle is a soap actor. He's quite nice despite lots of family discord on that side.

Many decades ago I was with a friend in a Greyhound bus depot in the US. We got chatting to a guy who offered us a coffee while we waited. Chatted about his buddies' ranch and offered to take us there and afterwards drive us to another Greyhound bus stop. Stupidly, we went. It had lots of cattle and horses as you'd expect but what we didn't expect was that they were members of the Ku Klux Klan and were reluctant to let us leave. Why, I've no idea. We weren't assaulted or anything like that but they didn't want us saying anything to the police and were annoyed at the guy who'd taken us there who was in a mini series which was shown on British TV. We saw the pictures.

If I said almost anything about his personality or hers, you would guess who she is in an instant.

When I was a chid many moons ago, my grandmother had a friend whose daughter was nanny to the children of a minor member of the royal family.
My sister in the 1960s had a boyfriend whose brother was Sting.
My father, when stationed somewhere in the navy during WW2, danced with the Duchess of Windsor at an event being held for British servicemen.He said she was absolutely charming and he would not hear a word said against her.
