Male celebrity in London today in a pink beret

[Montypig]

DD went to Cream Dream ( I know !) Cafe in London today ( she had a fabulous cake ) and was sitting next to a celebrity - Male, 50 + ish,, in a houndstooth jacket, wide trousers and a pink beret. other people asked for a photo, and apparently he was really nice to them, so we know it was someone famous, but who ????

AIBU to ask you all to help work out who it might have been ? ( sorry shoe horned into AIBU as I was hoping for a quick answer !)

@Montypig 'wretched child giving us this mystery' Hmmm, quite.

I like your vocabulary OP. Wretched and vexatious are wonderful words 🙂

Is she sure of the age? If she’s young she might think a 30 year old looks 50!

YOU GENIUSES ( Genii ??))

Kevin Rowland ....... for it was he. Both girls agree and say "too rah too rah too rah too rah eh "

thank you so much, we can all go to bed now. I told DH that mumsnet can solve everything

Joe Lyset?

Glad you can get to sleep now! He has a very distinctive style and was the first person I thought of from your DD's description.
Actually wish I had the guts (and money and figure) to dress like him!

Yay hurrah. Well done MN! 😀

I actually googled "Who looks like Jeff Goldblum" due to this thread, and the search results provide some fascinating reading so thank you for that too.

Not, but a lovely suggestion - nope it was the chap from Dexys Midnight Runners and apparently he was really nice to the people who spoke to him. Thank you all !!

Sounds like Tyson Fury to me. The pink beret is a bit of a giveaway.

Hmmn

Apparently, Kevin Rowland is 70! Time and tide wait for no man...

🤓

Most of these people would never wear a pink beret!

70 ?
SEVENTY ???

<gets up and leaves>

He's apparently 70!

Sorry X posted lol

Michael Barrymore?

Just seen the answer... How lovely of him!

OP I read out your first post to DH and he got it immediately. I'm gobsmacked and a little weirded out
We are in Deep South wales so wouldn't have seen him himself.
#WTF

Since when has he been in his fifties 😂😂😂

Caitlyn Jenner or Jacob Rees Mogg.

This is going to be the new cancel the cheque isn't it?

He has kids with someone I was in sixth form with

I used to work with his nephew who looks a lot like him but doesn't dress anywhere near as interestingly!

Call the cafe and ask them?!

K.R. is 70??? Hells Bells!! 😮
Seems like only yesterday I was dancing to ‘Come on Eileen’ at the local disco hotspot and going to college, learning to drive, fitting into size 8 jeans, and celebrating my 18th birthday…🎈
Happy days…

70 isn't old! As KR proves 😉
