To ask if any so called celebrities have contacted you on social media

[Grannyinnwaiting]

I'm an occasional instagram user - my settings are private and i only post occasionally. in the past few weeks i've been contacted by Gary Numan, James Norton, Aidan Gillen and Matthew Mcconaghy. Very clear these celebrities are not IRL keen to engage with a middle aged woman. I've blocked them all. Anyone else experiencing this? Gary Numan thanked me for liking one of his posts but then went on to say we should chat ove something called Telegraph - it's clearly bollocks

On Facebook joe Elliott and rick savage from def leppard liked my post on their fan club page.....and rick Allen (drummer) sent me a friend request. A lot of people fall for these scams as they're often very very convincing

This has been happening for years - I get them occasionally.

No, it’s just that the men haven’t realised yet that they’re being scammed, they genuinely think that Sam Fox from the 80’s has chosen to message them on insta because they’re fucking irresistible and she must just have a humongous wetty for them.

@LightDrizzle lol, you’ve brightened my afternoon. Have you seen the ‘Elaine Figgis’ sketch?

Dean Gaffney but many years ago and was the actual real one

I have 😂
It was painfully good as well as funny.

I have a mild hobby in which I "collect" celebrities by finding ways to get likes from minor celebrities. Money does not change hands 🤣 and there is no dialogue. Just a mild satisfaction to me for. Collecting Nigella Lawson. Like a sort of birdwatcher!

Oh I had Cillian Murphy get in touch via FB messenger !! Kept it going for a while but unfortunately rl was too busy for me to really wind them up !

I'd rather a fake Brad Pitt than the real one!

Yes, lots on Facebook. All sorts of musicians. I'm irresistible obviously 🙄 🤪

I'm actually jealous that i haven't had fake Brad and Cillion rather than Aidan Gillen and Gary Numan

If you engage with any fan sites on SM you get people claiming to be that person and asking you to go over to another site or private message or whatever. I instantly block.

Oh I'd quite like a chat with Aidan !!

Nicholas Galitzine messaged me yesterday on Instagram.

Instant block as I'm pretty sure he's not really trawling social media for middle aged women.

Keanu Reeves pesters me to the point I'm thinking of getting a restraining order

Sinatra and Prince Andrew recently. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Brad Pitt recently liked my comment on FB. Actually he liked quite a few people's comments. It was on a post about cake icing 🤨

Ioan Gruffudd wants to be my Facebook friend.

To be fair I also have Mark Whalberg and quite a few James Martin's. Not sure if that improves things?

Elon Musk and Keanu Reeves! As neither could spell very well, and Keanu couldn’t spell his own name correctly,I concluded they weren’t genuine 😀. Elon, or should I say’Elon’, clearly was uncomfortable using a language not his mother-tongue.

Dean Gaffney I can believe. He's contacted a friend of mine from his official insta account. He'd probably say he was hacked though.

Prince William and the Archbishop of Canterbury. Twice. Now, there's a thing!

The actual real Trevor and Simon follow me on Twitter.

and the real CBeebies follow me on Instagram!

sadly, no DMs from Hollywood AListers yet.

Me too !!!

Dean Gafny?? Is he still a 'celebrity'?
Was he ever?
Why on earth would anyone think that a 'celeb' is randomly contacting them for a natter? V gullible if they do
