Who TF is Johhny Borrell? I am so uncool aren't I? I know who he is now but I had to google.

Both sisters returning from Paris on Eurostar .

He was sporting a big coat and sunglasses (under the sea?)

Who is he?

Flamesparrow · 07/11/2008 17:43

I also googled - knew him from a pic though Wouldn't have spotted him on a train

mehgalegs · 07/11/2008 17:44

He is the lead singer of Razorlight dontcha know (I didn't).

There is a good quote in his wiki entry -
"Borrell has sometimes been regarded as having a very arrogant attitude towards the press and is famous for his proclamations of his own abilities. A large amount of... the human race, believe he needs a good fucking slap."

mamaspanx · 07/11/2008 18:09

DaDaDa · 07/11/2008 18:11

"A large amount of... the human race, believe he needs a good fucking slap"

I heartily concur.

wahwah · 07/11/2008 19:42

he wears white skinnies. I think that's pretty conclusive.

mehgalegs · 07/11/2008 20:11

He weras white skinnies and really horrible, low cut v neck t-shirts

he's a bit annoying. crappy band, awful clothes, terrible voice... can't understand why the band are famous.

WilfSpell · 07/11/2008 20:26

oh my god.

he's fit but a bit of an arse.

doesn't he go out with Kirsten Dunst?

Or was that years ago?

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 07/11/2008 20:42

I would have said "was it the Wanker Express"...one of the funniest threads EVER on here IMO

mehgalegs · 07/11/2008 20:44

He did go out with Kirsten Dunst wilf but I don't think he does anymore.

I'd forgotten the Wanker Express.

Yeah he is fit but my gosh don't he know it. (In the style of Mike Skinner)

oh my god he's a minger!!!

MintChocAddict · 07/11/2008 20:51

He always looks as if he's on the verge of a huge strop!
Have seen Razorlight a few times (how cool and down with the kids am I?)
He reminds me of Mick Jagger (showing my age now! ) when he prances around the stage.

otterchocdog · 10/11/2008 18:12

There was a funny clip of him on one of those 100 most annoying celeb type progammes...he was going on about going out with Kirsten Dunst and on and on and on, and he said to his mate/fellow band member "What do you think of it?" - said band member looked totally bored out of his tiny mind with the whole thing and replied acidly "nothing really".
