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 💃

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?"

this is wonderful

Back in the 70s I had a boyfriend who was a bit famous. He went on to become very famous indeed. Now he's in prison, likely to be there for a good while. I'm also related to a child who had a part in a very famous period drama series, not sure that he remembers it though, he was only 3

This thread is reminding me of the DH who was doing a T Rex in Asda - the OP is making little sense.

But do you think it’s ok to do a trex arms in Tesco?

Oh the DJ guy. From your other post.

Why do you think people care?

Fairly vacuous nonsense really.

💯 this

You win.

Pluviophile1 · 29/03/2024 22:58

Typing my name into Google generates more results than my DH - does that count? 🤣
Because of my profession, I get the occasional 'Do I know you?' look when I am out locally because people may have seen me doing my job. But I'm not famous, or at all important. Or rich.

Omg that post was SO FUNNY ! Is it in classics?

I’ve just been looking for it and can’t find it 🥲

I think I bumped into him once!! I was probably the one stalking him in Morrisons. Sorry!

Sorry but wtf is 'semi famous '? 🤣
No I do not, thankfully. Don't really understand the fawning over famous people, they are just a person -same as me 🤷🏼 I'd likely find the attention extremely boring, annoying if I was the famous one. I think I'd deny it and say 'nooooo, this happens all the time, I just look like them'

Semi famous = not famous, but think they are

Absolutely! I’m actually laughing remembering that thread and visualising the DH stood like a T rex.

I was on an episode of 80s TV show 'Why don't you?'

Oh yes, I think I remember you. You had blonde curly hair and collected pebbles, didn't you? You showed us how to clean them up and make them shiny. Can you send me a signed photo please?

Omg really?! Omg that's unreal!! Sponsored? By whom? For what?!??! I need to know more!

Is that the reaction you were looking for...?

10p a km for his couch to 5k

My DH has been on Crimewatch 3 times. Does that count?

Love it.
My friend was on Wacaday playing Mallets Mallet. It was brilliant.

I loved Mallet's mallet. I must show it to DS. He'd crease.

Nah, that wasn't me.
Sorry to disappoint. I just can't tell you because it would be too outing. 🤣

WingSlutz · 29/03/2024 23:04

My exh was on daytime telly talking about his field of expertise once so I totally get it OP. These other bitches are just jealous. Also my friends brother is well known in our home country. So, yeah.

This can't be real surely? The other thread is so embarrassing, nobody would charge a fee to play a bloody disco set for their own kids end of term party would they?! Especially someone who usually earns 4 figures and isn't on the bones of their arse.
Oh and I was sponsored by multiple companies as a rider and I'm not remotely famous. Means absolutely nothing.

What level did you ride at and which discipline? You might be famous to me 😂

DoBeDoBeDoDoDo · 29/03/2024 23:04

My DH is semi famous. He was the lead character in a Jackie magazine photo love story in 1979. Despite the fame and adulation he's pretty humble and grounded considering.

TheHorseOnSeventhAvenue · 29/03/2024 23:05

Fame is fun when you are doing the BAFTAs and red carpet in Cannes, not so much fun when you’re having a domestic in your flat in Camden.

Like anything else it has it’s good and bad.

Zone2NorthLondon · 29/03/2024 23:05

I’m a big deal in my industry. When I present or go to conferences I get mobbed

TheMixedGirl · 29/03/2024 23:06

This is such a pretentious post

Fizzadora · 29/03/2024 23:06

Oh oh oh just remembered my DH is a famous hgv driver. He was on telly once being interviewed by Hugh Fearnley- Whittingstall about his healthy food options for motorway services - DH wasn't very complimentary if I recall correctly.
He got the piss taken out of him in the pub for weeks afterwards.
Does that count?

Are your DH's initials AM?

I wouldn't consider him famous, if so.
