I’m useless at celebrity names. But a man has walked past me a couple of times in London Victoria and I can’t shake the feeling that I know him “off the telly”.
Hit me with your suggestions for short(ish), balding, middle aged white male celebs please.
I have a really terrible photo of the side of his head but not sure that’s cool to post in case I’m going mad and it’s just some random guy!
I have a feeling it’s sport / politics / tv comedy related.

Not a clue @Daedalus84 !

No idea who you saw but last time I was at Victoria Station I saw Jonathan Bailey and my goodness he is even more hunky in real life.

Chris Mason? Thinning hair rather than balding, but makes sense location-wise given the proximity to Westminster.

@Theresalwaystomorrowihope Your post is very strange and nasty. In case you haven’t realised, this is a lighthearted thread with a little mystery that the OP would like to solve. There is absolutely no reason for you to lay into her, making up all sorts of rubbish about her being “sad”. Do one.

I'm sorry but you have seen a shortish balding middle aged white man.
And if he is a celebrity he is interesting.
But presumably if he isn't a celebrity he isn't interesting?
I think that says a lot about you. And it's not very flattering.

Are you new here?

Morning, checked all suggestions above (thank you). Not any of them sadly. Maybe I am losing my mind (along with being sad 😂).
Here is the frankly terrible picture.
Posted with enormous apologies if he isn’t famous and I’ve stalked him :(

Who is this chap?

Also, thanks to all who defended my honour and recognise this as a silly bit of fun to solve an irritating mystery! 😂

Could be politics / sport / tv / comedy? I’m glad you’ve narrowed it down. Oh yeah and he’s white. I’ll draw up a shortlist of 750 MPs, actors, sportsman, TV presenters and comedians and get back to you.

Jesus! Could be anyone.

I know. I’m so sorry. Whilst hoping for inspiration for further Google rabbit holes to go down I seem to have just spread the irritating mystery like a virus. Sorry!

If I am thinking of the same person you think this is, I’m picturing him in a suit - detective? Kinda serious looking?

Your level of tedious judgement says A LOT about you

Show quote history

It does, doesn’t it?

I don’t think he’s anyone well known, but we’ll see!
