I'm too old to be a Mcfly fan, actively disliked The Dinosaur that Pooped books and have read on here that he and his wife are smug but after last night I'm a fan. I thought Paddington the Musical was fantastic. I know it's a team effort but his music and lyrics are a huge part of it's success.

I've just read that he's Bipolar so now I feel bad.

I've only seen him in concert and obv was a mcfly fan growing up. He's always seemed like a nice person imo. I remember when he was the chubby one in the band. That must have been tough in the 2000s. Apart from that, no idea tbh.

I don’t mind him but I hate his wife. What is she even famous for? Being married to Tom from Mcfly. I’m friends with famous people, doesn’t make me famous by association.

TBF I can't see anything to have disliked about him in the first place and MN is a bit weird about people sometimes, I have only seen clips of Paddington, it looks inredible, I really need to go. TF is super talented but a lot of people seem to not have noticed as he was in a 'boy band'. I am not the biggest McFly fan but weirdly have liked them more as I got older. Have seen them live a couple of times recently and they were fab.
