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.

Although in all honesty it looks like my Uncle Ian.

Daedalus84 · 07/08/2024 06:20

I think I might have to accept that it is your uncle Ian….

Ah. Having now seen the pic, I revise my original suggestion of it being Jason Watkins. I think it's defo a rather vertically squashed Prince William! Poor man, one wonders what's happened to him to compress his features like that? 😂

He is Spartacus!

renthead · 07/08/2024 07:19

I think that is just some random guy

HighflyingPigeon · 07/08/2024 07:24

I think random man.
Bit he has a bit of a shorter rounder Prince of Wales look about him. Enough to look familiar maybe?

RubaiyatOfAnyone · 07/08/2024 07:24

Barry from Eastenders?

Monoceros · 07/08/2024 07:41

Is it Bill Nighy?
I saw him in the same area a few times, although I'm not sure if he meets your description.

Heston blumemthal

MadameMassiveSalad · 07/08/2024 07:49

Grant or phill mitchell?

MadameMassiveSalad · 07/08/2024 07:50

Oh just saw the pic no not them!!! 😆😆😆

He does look kind of familiar but I think that's just because he looks like a fairly generic white, balding middle-aged man rather than because he's anyone famous.

He looks a bit like a cross between Andy Hamilton and Jack Dee imo.

Yougotwhatstuckwhere · 07/08/2024 07:54

Is this him?

Who is this chap?
TheMarzipanDildo · 07/08/2024 08:00

He looks a bit like David Haig

sunsetsandboardwalks · 07/08/2024 08:01

He also looks like very young Geoffrey Palmer imo.

IamnotnutsIamacondiment · 07/08/2024 08:37

David Troughton - although I think he is older

NigelHarmansNewWife · 07/08/2024 10:38

Kevin Doyle? Then I saw your photo OP and think Kevin is slimmer and taller.

Mmmmdanone · 07/08/2024 10:46

Armando Ianucci?

KingscoteStaff · 07/08/2024 11:22

That is Mr Heyworth who taught me English in 1989. Hasn’t changed a bit. If you see him again, tell him I still love Persuasion.

raspberryberet7 · 07/08/2024 11:37

Bob Mortimer

JaneJeffer · 07/08/2024 11:37

Phil Collins

PreciousMahoney · 07/08/2024 11:42

Theresalwaystomorrowihope · 06/08/2024 22:43

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.

For the love of Jesus lighten up and wind your neck in

hlc123 · 07/08/2024 11:55

Kevin Doyle? He was in Happy valley

Halfaninch · 07/08/2024 13:29

Yougotwhatstuckwhere · 07/08/2024 07:54

Is this him?

Definitely looks like this chap off Emmerdale

JaneJeffer · 07/08/2024 13:47

It looks nothing like him!
