Catherine Zeta-Jones was at the BAFTAs giving out an award. and nobody recognized her at first!

hotdiggetydog · 19/03/2023 21:26

Stephen Graham.
Romesh Ranganathan.

Be nice if either of them got a bit more work again.

Catherine Zeta Jones is on Wednesday, which is pretty big.

Time out /working less as they've had children would be my guess.

Sandra Bullock had multiple proper deranged dangerous stalkers - always fest so bad for her. And she has youngish children too.

Katherine Jenkins
Dean Gaffney

Did anyone ask about Adam Rickett, Clare Danes, Kate Winslet, Paul Nicholls, Jamie Theakston, Zoe Ball, Chris Evans. To make a few. Haven’t seen these faces for a while.

When you say ‘famous’………never heard of any of them.

The only one who rings a bell is Julie Styles

Zoe Ball did comic relief. Chris Evans is still a radio DJ

Sandra Bullock! She was in everything and then seemed to have dropped out of existence

She did a film with Channing Tatum recently and another one about a woman who gets released from prison

Dean Gaffney

I think that work dried up for him, after he was convicted of drunk driving, during lockdown. Did he ever do anything apart from Wrickaaaay! ?

Dinopawus · 19/03/2023 22:35

Cat Deeley is married to Patrick Kirsty and works in LA - I think they have DC too.

And Rylan, we never see much of him on the telly. 🤔😁 (I actually like him).

SinnerBoy · 19/03/2023 22:46

I first knew him from adverts and thought that he was nothing more than a slightly irritating, orange tidybeard. Having seen him in a few programmes and interviews, I think he seems like a nice guy.

He's all over the telly.

H34th · 19/03/2023 22:49

Many names on here that don't actually ring a bell for me...

Nicholas Cage

I'm pretty rubbish with slebs, too.

Nicole Richie has a fashion line and is a judge on Making the Cut on Amazon prime.

Katie Hill has a big online instagram following and does a counselling and life coaching type stuff.

SinnerBoy · 19/03/2023 23:03

Katie Hill? American politician? Or wheelchair basketball player? They're the top ones on google. ...
