Done to death previously but always new members joining!

I am not famous, dont have any celebrity friends. It fascinated by what it must be like to be famous or have famous relatives or friends!

Anyone willing to spill any beans tonight to cheer me up!

I Would HATE to be famous, I would love the cash but would hate to be famous - constantly spied upon and judged - awful.

Actually on these threads I always wonder whether there's some way we could charm trick them into accidentally revealing themselves Then we'd be all chuffed with ourselves, and of course they would immediately name change.

It's worth a try.
There's always the off-chance that at least one 'famous' person will be really drunk or stoned and accidentally reveal too much about themselves. Grin

That's why it's a good idea to start a thread like this late at night, after they've had a few! Smile

Has no one mentioned Davinia or Holly whatsherface yet?

I'm not famous in the slightest but my sister is quite a successful fashion designer.

My friend's mom bumped into John Lennon (in the 1960s) "carrying his thing" -her words - assume (hope) she meant his guitar!

I have always worked in posh schools so I've met a few famous people; my best one was when Paul Weller leaned out of his car to wave at me. If I could go back in time and tell my 14 year old self that this was going to happen, I'd watch myself be gobsmacked.

Kittykat1978 · 03/08/2017 18:27

She was my friend at school!! I think if we're talking about same person...

SinfulRevenge · 03/08/2017 18:28

I have a sort of claim to fame. I've had a book published but I'm not well known :D

IdentifiesAsYoda · 03/08/2017 18:33

Yoda I am

Heard of me you may have

Fizzymoon1234 · 03/08/2017 18:36

I'm very well known but I really love the anonymity on here.

My gran is cousins with Robert Carlisle. Never met him but have met his mum a few times over the years as my mum is close with the family member who looks after her.

Writermom22 · 03/08/2017 18:42

Not yet. But I'm working on it ...

Lightroom · 03/08/2017 18:42

I was on Pebble Mill at One when I was a kid. I've had a book published, which makes my son think I'm famous. No one has heard of me.

Bluntness100 · 03/08/2017 18:43

I think you may be overestimating the level of interest, I for one couldn't give two fucks who you are

Well that's fairly unwarranted and aggressive Confused . What you doing on the thread if you're not interested?

JustDontGetItAtAll · 03/08/2017 18:45

Brasty Fox's York by any chance?

Gabilou · 03/08/2017 18:46

Think we know who ilovepartybags thinks they are 😆😆

JustDontGetItAtAll · 03/08/2017 18:48

Ilovepartybags If you are who I think you are then I can blooming well imagine you are proud! Wow x

DS1 is extremely famous in China.

Well actually he's not, but Chinese people think he is. We went on holiday in South East Asia recently and he was constantly stopped by excited Chinese tourists wanting to take selfies with him and get his autograph.

He thought it was hilarious given that he's a 12 year old nobody from the midlands Grin

No heartno7. IM SPARTACUS 😂

MinnieSprinkles · 03/08/2017 18:53

My partner is "famous" or rather has a blue tick on twitter and insta and hangs around with famous people i dont see him as famous though.

FirstTimeMum07 · 03/08/2017 18:55

Not famous but someone came upto me a few years ago asking me for my autograph as they thought I was Miranda Hart

A few pics on Google of Sam Bailey (x factor) really look like me

Snoozy1 · 03/08/2017 18:57

Rach363747 Apologies, but we may have interrupted your dinner at the rainforest café in Disneyland Paris a few years ago. Sent my 8 year old DD over for an autograph Blush

My English teacher at High School is now an author...his books keep popping up on Amazon. I have no idea why though cause they are definitely not my type of books! Im wondering how Amazon knows...

Lightroom · 03/08/2017 19:00

Who did they think he was, Newtssuitcase?

(He's not a nobody, though. Nobody's a nobody. We're all a somebody. I hate it on Twitter when famous people call themselves the 'real' Jane Smith or whoever. EVERY Jane Smith is a real Jane Smith. Lecture over. Grin)
