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.

David Haig?

Onasingleincome · 07/08/2024 14:08

He looks like a completely random man you've posted on the internet.

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.

?Eh?

OP is asking as someone trying to remember someones name - not her next sex conquest

AnnieMcFanny · 07/08/2024 14:10

Dom? I don’t know his surname.

That's no way to talk about Uncle Ian! 🤣

AntigoneFunn · 07/08/2024 14:28

To be fair, Uncle Ian would be absolutely made up if he knew he was being compared to such Titans of the entertainment industry as Barry from Eastenders and Jimmy King off Emmerdale... Grin

A senior civil servant arriving for day's work in Victoria St/ Whitehall. Wears lycra at weekends. Gets a bit sweaty in the armpits due to quality of shirt. Wife buys his clothes at M&S. Quietly dying inside, but the gold plated pension means probably jumping ship in ten years. Wife will leave and take half.

You found it so dull, yet you couldn't stop yourself from posting on the thread anyway...

Oh ffs 🙄

It's bugging her who it is.

Get a grip and stop looking for any reason to be offended.

Going by the recognition skills here he has no chance of being outed

That’s a very good shout. Hadn’t thought of that. Will do now. Thank you all for helping with my mystery!

Maybe he's not famous but you know him from somewhere in your life?

TheMarzipanDildo · 07/08/2024 21:39

Well I’ve enjoyed this anyway Grin

and I do still think he looks like David Haig
