I’m poorly in bed and have too much time to kill, plus I am very nosey.
I have never even met anyone remotely famous!

@Fenella good point :')

HC?
I thought it was nonsense... Then got pictures Blush
Still didn't change my mind though! Not that what was pictured wasn't impressive- I just wasn't up for it.

FenellaMaxwell · 30/01/2019 18:26

@Kismetjayn Mine was not, but I actually do know HC! (Have worked with him and have a mutual friend) He’s a very sweet guy, so I’m surprised now - doesn’t seem his style!

Kismetjayn · 30/01/2019 18:41

@Fenella you're better placed to judge as you know him then- perhaps propositioner just has mad Photoshop skills! Even more embarrassing if I'd accepted it and he wasn't there!

peachgreen · 30/01/2019 18:47

@FenellaMaxwell You have me wondering if we're all talking about the same HC as I have a close friend who has worked with him and he is well-known for being - er - a bit of a sexual deviant! Not in a creepy way (although he does tend to go for very young women) but I certainly wouldn't put a threesome past him!

Slept with someone whose dad used to work for the Queen, he's fairly well known for what he does in certain circles.

Kismetjayn · 30/01/2019 18:59

@PeachGreen
S&M kind of deviant? Because that was definitely in the offing Blush and I was 21 at the time!

DSHathawayGivesMeFannyGallops · 30/01/2019 19:05

No one famous here but enjoying the guessing! Grin

@loobyloo1234 jel! Although what a scum bag.

Not here, but went out with a sort of teen idol in another country. We were in our early twenties, trying to date but being chased around by squealing teenage girls all the time. It was extremely annoying and was surreal - and we didn’t last. Shockingly, he was rather full of himself and his ego grew rapidly as his popularity rose. Aka he became an absolute dick. A friend of mine bumped into his sister a while later and she said something along the lines of “it’s such a shame that *War couldn’t handle my brother’s amazing rise to fame”, my friend was like nahhh, I think he was just an arsehole.

Zintox · 30/01/2019 19:16

I snogged the bassist from Brand New Heavies at a party and then went on a date with him. He drank too much, had his Amex declined (because they didn’t take Amex), so I had to pay then I drove him home while giving him a lecture on drink driving (he wanted to drive home but I told him I wouldn’t let him because he was over the limit). I can’t imagine why he didn’t call again...

IJustLostTheGame · 30/01/2019 19:16

Someone I've known for years has gone on to be a superstar DJ. He used to go out with a friend of mine.
He has tens of thousands of followers on social media.
He's also the biggest prick on the planet.
An absolute bellend.
I'm going to ibiza this summer and I'm glad he's so far up his own arsehole that he won't suggest meeting up.

Weezol · 30/01/2019 19:19

Nobody especially famous, but in my experience bass players are a much better shag than singers or lead guitarists.

Drummers always seem to have a wife or girlfriend, so no data available.

Dinnaehinksae · 30/01/2019 19:29

@Readytorewind Starsailor is my absolute all time favourite band.

Panicwiththebisto · 30/01/2019 19:34

squelcheye did you ever live in Gypsy Hill and know LR?

SimplyPut · 30/01/2019 19:46

A former cabinet minister... my grandma used to turn off the tv when he came on until I assured her I ended it and we were still mates. We still are.

SugarinaPlum · 30/01/2019 20:04

yes years ago, I did and I will forever kick myself that when deciding whether or not we were going to get together I completely failed to factor in the “fame” thing! We had known each other a few years during which time he was well known so I never considered it! And ultimately it was ruined by the attention- press hassling me to sell my story, photographers on the doorstep etc

babyinthacorner · 30/01/2019 20:28

I was in a relationship with someone who played a Jedi Knight in the middle 3 Star Wars films and was in another major film around the same time. I won’t say who it is because you won’t have heard of him. Also he was a complete psychopath and i’m rather embarrassed by the whole thing Blush
He had some great stories though. And made an absolute fortune doing signings at Comic Con.

JujuBeanss · 30/01/2019 20:30

Ohh I love Tom Hiddleston!!

peachgreen · 30/01/2019 20:33

@Kismetjayn Yes that sort of thing! Nothing illegal, all good clean fun (ha) but I could definitely see he would be up for threesomes!

Mumblers · 30/01/2019 20:44

I was at a house party nearly 30 years where one of take that were (just before they became famous). He was trying to get my friend to have a threesome....

I'm married to someone who even our 6 year old says "Daddy, you're not even famous anymore". Didn't go to his head when he was famous, but he still gets recognised.

MyShinyWhiteTeeth · 30/01/2019 23:12

I have a relative-in-law who 'parties' with a TV star and their boyfriend/husband in a very seedy way. They were a teenager when it started and the couple were in their late forties. They seem a bit sleazy in interviews but from what I hear from the r-i-l they are so much worse in real life.

I hear a lot of the juicy celebrity gossip this way - some of it verges on the truth but some just seems to be bitching. I think trying to cling to fame/experience wealth & glamour by associating with these lowlifes is very harmful.

@loobyloo1234 jel! Although what a scum bag.*

Indeed. I've just googled it and they'd been together a good few years by then. Was abroad - maybe he thought as it was different area codes it was a green light Hmm

Ferfeckssake · 31/01/2019 08:53

I had a great night snogging one of the Pogues in NYC.( showing my age).And he had all his teeth.Grin
