@Undercovering - yes! 😎

I’ve such a massive crush on Derren brown. He is so handsome and just seems like such a lovely bloke. I know he’s gay though, so would settle for being his pal

My dad also has his own IMDb page

So does my Dad, I think anyone can set one up. He has a wiki page too, pretty sure he set that up himself too. Fancies himself as an actor and director but he’s only ever had extra parts and was in a couple of rock bands music videos about 10 years ago. Made a couple of his own films but they’re terrible, he made me watch one once and my Nan walked in literally asking what the crap was on TV 😂.

He’s in his 50s now, started acting in his late 20s. He’s always said he’ll be a late bloomer like Jack Nicholson but I don’t think that’s going to happen somehow.

Noitjustwontdo · 28/10/2020 13:41

Oh he was in a couple of adverts years ago too. He text asking me to watch Gok Wan’s programme because he was going to be in the sponsored advert before it. He loves himself.

I’ll try not to take offence to that but he didn’t set it up himself . He worked in the film industry for around 20 years , he’s not an actor .

I’m a writer.

I sort of didn’t understand how famous I was until I realised another ‘famous’ friend (radio DJ) messaged me. We were chatting away, just chit chat then somehow I realised “shit! I’m on texting terms with Gary Davies/ Simon Mayo/Paul Gambaccini”
And I can call lots of other celebrities friends

DryRoastPeanut · 28/10/2020 14:39

I also have an IMDb page, but that doesn’t really count gir much these days. It’s much diluted now.

Funnily enough, I often see friends on tv, I do love to message them saying something like “hey Tony, I saw you on bbc show xxx tonight” My mum still thinks I’m unemployed! 🥴🥴🥴

Hopefullynamechanged935 · 28/10/2020 14:40

@DryRoastPeanut I wonder if we know each other

FAQs · 28/10/2020 14:45

I was on TV 20 years ago for quite a while and in newspaper and TV mags but I was young and now mortified when I look back, every now and again it pops up again but no one recognises me much to mine (and my daughters relief)

NetflixWatcher · 28/10/2020 14:50

My relative was the captain for a well known football team but they are retired now.

Noitjustwontdo · 28/10/2020 14:53

I didn’t mean to offend with that, just thought I’d state that IMDB doesn’t mean much at all.

movingonup20 · 28/10/2020 14:56

My ex is famous in his field and has been on tv, caused a bit of interest at the time but never got asked back (alas for the family finances). Still hoping for his work to pay off financially before my divorce is final!

@Mariola212

My friend's dad was in Black Sabbath. Used go round and smoke weed when I was a teenager. 😂 The dad was really nice chilled guy, not crazy rock star at all.
Yep sounds like a great guy Hmm

@Hopefullynamechanged935
I’m ‘mates’ with
Joe Lycett
Keith lemon
Noddy Holder and Susan Price
Glynn Purnell.
That gives you my area/location, but as I said, I’m really most well known for my writing.

A friend of mines child is friends with Tom Hardy's child. My friend speaks to his ex wife quite a lot because of this and has met Tom a few times now.

First time she did he kissed on the cheek and we were all joking that she could never wash it again now 🤣

IEat · 28/10/2020 15:55

I'm famous. I was in the local paper when I was little , I met Princess Anne. Well I was in a group photo and she was in it too.

Sex tape

Hadalifeonce · 28/10/2020 16:00

My cousin used to go out with a proper A Lister, brought him to my wedding. I had no clue who he was and spent quite a while chatting to him.
When I have told people this story since they are speechless that I didn't know who he was. We are talking proper globally known.

mozzzy1 · 28/10/2020 16:09

@Hadalifeonce Please give us a clue!

Hadalifeonce · 28/10/2020 16:12

American 'god' to some. Huge band.
