Whatever happened to…

[Flawedperfection]

Inspired by another thread!

Whatever happened to certain celebs? So many were really quite popular/successful/infamous/famous at one point only to seemingly disappear off the
face off the earth. Where did they go?

Insert the missing celeb. I’ll go first with a few:-

• Sam Smith (sang Black and Gold- love that song)
  
• Samantha Mumba (Irish singer)
  
• Shola Ama (You Might Meet Somebody singer)
  

Go!

@Tiramiwho

I spotted the Brookie Jordache mother on this week's Silent witness in a small part.
Whatever happened to the Actress who played Marie Jackson, married to George who was wrongly jailed?
Bobby and Sheila Grant's 3 adult children? ( really fancied Damon back in the day 😳)

@Tiramiwho Simon (can't remember his surname) who played Damon is in Find It Fix It Flog It with Henry Cole.
Dh favourite programme.

[quote lanbro]@ZaraCarmichaelshighheels I saw Jimmy Nail a few years ago, I own a business in the NE and I served him. He was very flirtatious and I said to my colleagues afterwards "wow, he looked just like Jimmy Nail" and they confirmed that's cos he is[/quote]
I’m very glad to hear he is alive and well! I was beginning to have my doubts!

No need to worry - ain't no doubt

I was expecting somebody to say they'd recently seen him licking vinegar off a wasp that was sitting on a nettle

Andi Peters appears on the home shopping channel QVC occasionally.

Toby Anstis and Timmy Mallet have random 80s/90s playlists on the NOW music channels, very cringy.

[WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll]

Peter Simon is also on a late-night shopping channel now. He's very entertaining when I've caught it on occasion. I distinctly remember once, when he'd started a sentence in his sales patter before he had any idea at all how he was going to finish it. He said "Now, you show me a better price for something of this quality, and I'll show you.... [very long pause].... my big hairy buttocks!!" I'm about 6 and I found this hilarious!

[quote NameChangeNameShange]On the subject of Robert Carlyle do you remember the film where he has MS, watched it once decades ago and I weeped buckets at that. Google tells me it's this one [/quote]
I remember him as Hamish Macbeth, a policeman in a very pretty Scottish village, he has a lovely white little Scottie dog. I also recall him in an episode of Cracker where he played a young man bady affected by the Hillsborough disaster, very disturbing.

@MinnieJackson

Haven't heard from those kardashians for a while...😂

Green day were massive when I was at school, I don't think they've put anything out for ages but probably wrong.

Lloyd Grossman?

All my digits crossed for the demise of those KKK people.

[DanceToTheMusicInMyHead]

@rougemouse

I saw Melinda Messenger in Sainsbury's recently. I did the whole "oh hi" thing like I knew her then realised I didn't know her.

I lived in the Same apartment building as Nick Tilsley from Corrie for months.

Saw him in the lift everyday and I used to say "alright luv" every morning and he replied with "alright babe" everytime. I thought he worked in my office.

@OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow the only one of those three I know what has happened to with any degree of certainty is Joe Jackson, who died a cfew years ago. I had an evening on the Youtubes listening to his music and remembering how great it was and generally mourning. Sad times.

Yeah, you’re wrong @MinnieJackson
Their stadium shows sell out very quickly. They’ve just headlined a sold-out US stadium tour with Fall Out Boy and Weezer and they’re bringing it here next Summer (hopefully - Facebook informed me yesterday that it was two years ago that I bought tickets to see them and Covid has meant it’s been postponed twice already).
They’ve released six albums since American Idiot in 2004, toured numerous times and had a Tony Award winning musical on Broadway.

[MinnieJackson]

ahh thank you @MadisonAvenue! what about blink,182? I heard Derek was in a bad way.

[MinnieJackson]

Are weezer the teenage dirtbag guys?

No Weezer are the Buddy Holly guys (amongst others of course)
