Aibu to ask if you have a famous DH

[MeadowL]

Does it bother you? I have a semi famous DH, he gets paid to gig and go on podcasts etc if we go out locally he does get asked for selfies so we tend to go away for weekends as a family.

I do find it slightly annoying but I guess it pays the bills 💃

We went to Italy yers ago, and DH apparently looks the spitting image of an actor in their equivalent of eastenders…he wasn’t thrilled and we’ve not been back!

Is he the dog dad of Fenton?

He's CLOSE friends with them yet you seem to think your school disco DJ DH is "semi-famous" oh c'mon now 😂😂

I’m not sure you do - maybe reset you envyomitor?

not many people are envious of you being married to someone who wants to charge £200 to play at a school disco

I was sponsored once. It was a sponsored dog walk and I passed that man off the telly who does Flog It. My dog wagged her tail at him * Does that count ?

• said dog wagged her tail at everyone, they didn’t have to be famous.

Bows down You are MN royalty

When I married wee Tom it was red carpet hell. No heels, getting audited all the time and silently singing in big Ron's church. With wee Keith he makes me feel less embarrassed by my 5 Oscar noms, 5 Grammy noms, 17 Golden Globe noms. Thank God I can live through my DH. Why would a lil 'ole wife need ambition, what's the point....

My kids were terrified of the number taker too!

I am so famous that one day when I was on the Buckingham Palace balcony with King Charles, a woman in the crowd nudged my friend and said "who's that guy on the balcony? The one next to PigletJohn?"

😂

DH made a stupid comment on a radio phone-in, complete brain fart moment and it was used in ads/promos for the station for a few weeks afterwards, does he count ?

Oooo DH was on Helicopter ER. The star of the episode after his life changing accident! Does that count?

You mean your DH is friends with all of them?

Great.

Someone I know is a non famous DJ but has known Fabio and Groove for years. They live about 20-30 mins from me. They’re honestly the least fame driven DJs I know I think. I don’t think I’d recognise them though.

My ex NDN is a promoter of DJs (sounds more glam than it is) and his wife is very big in the record industry, not naming where or who as she’s quite private.

I sympathize with you OP.

When I was a girl I was in a tap dancing troupe. We'd often do well attended concerts in venues like the local elderly peoples home and many church halls, sometimes up to half a mile away. You might have heard of us but I don't want to give the name as it will be outing.

Our fame, as you can imagine, spread and a photo of us appeared in the local evening paper circa 1974.

I'm still unable to walk the streets in my home town without people rushing up to me begging me to do a little heel, tap, toe to Alexander's Ragtime Band.

I oblige, but it can be very draining.

😂 I'm not sure you're very perceptive then.

DB is a fairly successful YouTuber. He gets people coming up to him who have recognised his voice, mostly when he goes to events that are related to what his channel is about. It's all very amicable and friendly.

If he's an "influencer" or some cretin on TikTok, he's not famous

My DH is close friends with both

You mean he stood next to them in the pub urinals once, right? 🤣🤣

I love your complete lack of self-awareness.

Thanks for starting this thread though, it's had me in stitches!

DH is an A Lister. So ner ner.
"I am richer than yow!"
I'm a bigger hanger on than ALLLLLL of you.
Football WAGs have nothing on me.

Envious of a husband with a bathist wife who wants to call someoen a cunt because they want to organise a trip to a cinema?
No, we're not.

I used to work in the music industry.

if he’s a DJ I wonder if I’ve worked with him!

I got sponsored by Oakley sunglasses once. I got loads of free shit. 😂

Eh? I’ve read the thread and see no envy, just some people not giving a shit

My husband is famous is his hobby sport apparently, he gets stopped for autographs and is interviewed by the BBC etc, when he is at events, I just think why are people interested in him he is nothing special and they do not have to pick up his boxers everyday.

He would never get stopped walking around Waitrose on a Saturday morning. Stay humble OP.

Who cares?
