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?

Another one; I worked with a nurse who was in the same class as Sting.

@catinboots123 i knew it! Fucking love that 🤩

My dad's best mate used to work with a man whose son was in the boy band Upside Down.

DSIL's brother went to school with the nephew of the inventor of the Rubik's Cube.

My former boss's daughter is married to the son of one of the Loose Women.

I used to go to church with Tom Jones cousin (she was a lovely lady)

As a teenager I had an enormous crush on one of my brothers best friends who went to school with Benidict Cumberbatch

David Bowie's mum was a resident in the retirement home where my school friend's aunt worked.

Oliver Reed started a fight with my uncle. Chris Evans drove my car. We live in the same town as Dame Maggie Smith.

My father used to drive the boat which took Prince Philip waterskiing.

My father was in the Royal Navy and based in Malta for several years - the same time as Prince Philip and Princess Elizabeth were newly weds.

I've another -

Janie Jones of Clash song fame/70s notoriety gave me some concrete planters when I moved into my new flat in the 90s

I used to work for a guy who was once engaged to a Casualty actress.

My father taught Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull. My mother was at school with Warren Mitchell... Oh, and I taught three children of the captain of the FC Basel football team, he used to drop them off at school in his Maserati.

I see Duran Duran has already had a mention. Simon LeBons mother taught me piano and we all used to play together out front. Preferred his younger brother though!

Later was at uni with Graham Brady (chair of 1922 committee).

I used to work with Chris Rea and Stephen Fry's ex PA
Fry was a complete arse towards her causing her to have a breakdown

And my sister taught Adam Hart-Davis's kids and my father in law used to drive an MGB GT which used to belong to Fergal Sharkey. I used to live round the corner from Les Dawson.

Closest I have is that one of my relative’s by marriage went to school with a well-known serial killer.

Reading the thread to DH in the car. He'd like to add that his friend's sister snogged Leonardo Dicaprio on Millenium NYE.

DH himself has lent Chris Martin a lighter, but I think that's a bit of a tenuous reach to be honest

This thread is all about the tenuous and reaches.

Bez from happy Mondays had a rizla off me once.

Norman Cook was in the year below me at school.

One of my neighbours is Gerard Butlers aunt I'm still waiting for the day he comes for a visit!

Putting Bobby Moore to bed in Denmark

I went out with someone who was possibly the nephew (or second cousin?) of the person who wrote the wombles theme song

My dad stayed in a b&b that was owned by the mum of a famous newsreader x

Dh cousin is married to Philip Schofield's cousin, I've seen him at a family event but didn't talk to him

My Grandmother was friends with Sean Connery’s mum.

@ANewNameForThisThread Well of course, but lending a lighter is hardly in the same realm of solid celebrity connection as some here
