@blueshoes

Xingming: I was papped regularly in my early 20s in London when lots of people thought I was a very well known French porn star. I only had to open my mouth to prove I wasn't.

I am intrigued. What was it about your mouth (or hers)?

Presumably that a French accent didn't come out of it?

Then, I looked very similar to the actress who starred in the Emmanuelle soft porn movies, and was often mistaken for her. But I am English, so as soon as I said I'm not Emmanuelle, with an English accent........

I was at school, and friends with a very, very famous lady who is now deceased. I still think about her, and all the laughs we had. I miss her terribly.

oh shit... my memory is crap... a couple of years back, i met a bloke from pof who was apparently a famous footballer back in they day. He's roundabout 60 now and i cant imagine that he would be recognised but apparently he married the daughter of a famous football manager and that was his real claim to fame...

I only met him once... a few texts after that were enough to establish that he wasn't rich enough for the compromise needed..

my dad met the manager of slade once if that counts

but nah... im not famous for anything

My neighbour was in a band that came out of the Popstars series in the early 2000s. They had several top 20 hits, then he did a bit of tv presenting, but then the showbiz work dried up. Now he’s 40, lives in a normal house and works as a manager for a frozen food company.

My best friends brother is a World Champion and Olympic Gold Medallist in his sport.
Another friend is married to an ex England footballer (very well-known).
I dated Anthony Joshua briefly
Personally not famous but I worked at the most exclusive nightclubs in London for years, which meant I had lots of famous people in my phone book - and was well known if you wanted to get "on the guestlist!"

OhhCarolina · 04/11/2020 01:05

I'm Martin Amis.

No, I really am.

You must be a BBW then ! I remember the boxer Amir Khan accusing him of having an affair with his wife, and Anthony Joshua said he only liked BBW ladies !
OhhCarolina · 04/11/2020 01:06

Also am on the guest list.

OhhCarolina · 04/11/2020 01:07

So, a fat stripper then? 👌👀👀

Ghosts2020 · 04/11/2020 01:54

A close family friend won a silver medal at the 96 Olympic games, you can probably guess who it is if you've guessed where I'm from from my previous post of who I know
