Rubbish title but hopefully you know what I mean.

For me, those who spring to mind are:
Sir David Attenborough
Tom Hanks
Usain Bolt
Judy Dench

There's been rumours about him being part of the elite shit show and Jeffrey Epsteins island 😮

Show quote history

Noooo. I just don't see it, he's so devoted to his wife Rita too. I'd only believe it if there was hard evidence.

Agree with David Attenborough and Bob Mortimer.

Also Michael Palin and Michael Rosen.

Nobody.
Call me cynical but nothing surprises me anymore.

That was my initial thought. Then when I was reading replies, I thought NOOO! Not Keanu, that would be upsetting. As would Dave Grohl. There are probably others. Probably already listed even. But that has already shaken me quite enough for one evening!

Vinvertebrate · 30/05/2023 22:34

Keanu

Guy Garvey

Clare Balding.

I have met her in real life where she was just as lovely, so pretty sure she is who she is.

See this one wouldn't surprise me at all, he's given me the creeps since I was little. Sorry!

You don't want to read the chatter on tattle then Sad

Well seeing as it'll all come out in time about DJ, I'd get your mourning in early!

SunLightButMoonlightIsBest · 30/05/2023 22:38

Dermot O’ Leary

Yes 🥲 Totally agree with Mackenzie Crook too.

Joanna Lumley

Rowan Atkinson

Rowan isn’t dodgy but sadly he is not a nice friendly person. He’s generally known in the TV world and his local area for being rude and entitled.

BluePineAndApple · 30/05/2023 22:39

David Attenborough
Monty Don
Carol Klein
Judi Dench
Maggie Smith
Brian Cox

bellac11 · 30/05/2023 22:39

Johnny Ball
Bob Mortimer
Johnny Morris

Many of the names here

BettyOBarley · 30/05/2023 22:40

Tom Hanks
David Jason
Hugh Jackman

(I know there are internet rumours about DJ, but I think it sounds like a load of BS)
