To think celebrities seriously need to get over themselves?

Just got an email from a recruitment agency I signed up to years ago, they were listing a load of jobs they had available and one of them was:

"£60k - Nanny for Celebrity family - required qualified nanny with experience of young children and newborn, ideally has experience with celebrities so doesn't get starstruck"

I mean seriously, puke. Get over yourselves!

I was walking in London once and this tall, well dressed man passed me on the zebra crossing. I looked at him because he was good looking, and he grinned at me. It was only afterwards that I realised it was that race car driver. He probably thought I was star struck, but I had no idea who he was !!
So I think I’d be ok for the job.

@DivorceAdvicePlease123

Bet it's some wanker from TOWIE 🤣
Maybe we need to stop referring to such nonentities as 'celebrities', unless a person has actually done something, other that promote their tacky lifestyle, they're really nobodies. People who sing, act, write, play a sport, etc., have actually done something of note, can be referred to as celebrities, not a spray tanned screecher, too often if I look up a name all they've done is move from one self-promotion to another.

@EdgeOfTheSky

SE19 is a big and varied area and I can assure you that there are significantly famous/ VIP / notable families who live there.

But due to minding their privacy they are not having their job adverts scrutinised and criticised and being subject to all sorts of speculation and slagging off by MNers,

Yes poor celebrities.. it's a public job ad jeez

Who is Catherine Ryan 🤣
That ghastly person who is reduced to doing Wowcher adverts, she has caused me to unsubscribe from them, horrible voice.
EdgeOfTheSky · 15/10/2021 13:26

Yes, OP, but due to your thread people are speculating, and saying not many famous people live in SE19.

You didn’t even quote the ad correctly.

I think we can agree with you that there are a few reasons why you wouldn’t be a prime candidate for the job Wink

EachandEveryone · 15/10/2021 13:26

If have you go for it as curiosity would get the better of me

My original post said I received an email that said that, which I did lol so I did quote the email ad correctly

Which driver was that, I thought they were all quite short to fit in the cars comfortably

I went to a event once where there were F1 drivers race suits on display and I was surprised at how tiny they were

WheelieBinPrincess · 15/10/2021 13:35

Yes, the current world champion is only 5 foot 7.

Unless the family is unaware that the advert is appearing on the internet and is available to the world to discuss they haven't really got anything to complain about

A family who value their privacy would surely find a nanny by less public means.

whynotwhatknot · 15/10/2021 13:43

I find the more z list they are the more they harp on about how famous they are

george clooney wouldnt lower himself to put that ad in for example

@JudgeJ 'Who is Catherine Ryan 🤣 --

'Reduced to doing adverts'? Is that a shameful job? I really don't like people degrading others' jobs. You would pee your pants if you had such an offer.
She prob got paid for it more than you will in 10 years of working. And she's well known whilst not many people know you exist.

Oh come off it, do you not eye roll then when influencers start selling teeth whitening and detox teas?

OP posts:
primrosee · 15/10/2021 14:14

No @Keke94LND I do not.
Maybe they're struggling for money. What is embarrassing about promoting teeth products? It's a job, just like a cleaner job.
No shame in either.

How are you in a position to laugh at someone selling teeth products? Tell us what you do. Unless you're an owner of a tech company, you can't be sniggering (and even then it would be a sh*t thing to do).

Lewis Hamilton. He’s taller than me !
SirensofTitan · 15/10/2021 14:24

So it was Lewis Hamilton was it @GoodnightGrandma ? T

o be fair I would never have got that from tall , next time you need to describe his as taller than me with an * with your height at the bottom GrinGrin

Had to Google him to get his name ! I just don’t ‘do’ celebrities, they’re just people.
WheelieBinPrincess · 15/10/2021 14:28

I mean LH can look very striking because he has a unique dress sense and really stands out- but he’s certainly not what I’d describe as tall!

SirensofTitan · 15/10/2021 14:33

How do you google someone that you don't know is well known and somehow find out that they are Lewis Hamiliton Confused

Sorry to divert the thread @GoodnightGrandma but your story is making me Smile

Well firstly I mentioned teeth products and detox teas.. i personally would be embarrassed to promote detox teas because it would be promoting an awful industry that thrives off of peoples insecurities and also creates them. Secondly, I wouldn't compare cleaners to influencers, cleaners work very hard and are totally undervalued. Thirdly, I'm not sure why the only job I could do that would allow me to laugh at other peoples jobs is being the owner of a tech company.. very random. And thirdly, I said eye roll not laugh 🙃

She's a comedian. If yours into comedians, she is pretty well known. If you're not then you might have only seen her on panel shows and not actually known who she is.[/quote]
