Dc1 thinks everyone knows who he is (was). Clearly not everyone as I had no clue.

So...do you know who he is?

YABU - yes
YANBU - No.

To note. Im nearly 50. This may have something to do with my ignorance.

I’m 47. No idea.

purpleme12 · 09/07/2026 17:51

Never heard of this

OriginalSkang · 09/07/2026 17:51

Yes. I wasnt a big fan of his music, but I loved the character he played

Edit to say I'm 47

RaraRachael · 09/07/2026 17:52

Never heard of him

ShanghaiDiva · 09/07/2026 17:52

Nope.

Have not got a clue. I read your title as Olive Tree and thought of the American eatery.

tilypu · 09/07/2026 17:54

Yes.

But only because he died last month

CandyFlossssss · 09/07/2026 17:56

Yes but only because my teens have mentioned him constantly recently, I hadn't heard of him before recent events.

Turtles4543 · 09/07/2026 17:56

My son told me that he’d died. If not heard of him before then but then I did recognise some songs.

NewGoldFox · 09/07/2026 17:57

My son told me about his death. I did recognise his music though.

LittleGreenDuck · 09/07/2026 17:57

Yes, but only in the context of his recent demise. The teens know him.

ChessieFL · 09/07/2026 17:58

Never heard of him. I’m 47.

Thats Olive garden

cariadlet · 09/07/2026 18:05

I'm late 50s and have never heard of him (including the news that he has died). Off to Google him now.

Yes I know I was saying that I read it as olive tree and my brain went to olive garden from there rather than Oliver Tree. Still not entirely sure who he is only that he recently sadly passed away and he was a singer?

I half wish that I hadn't googled him.

I know that it's mean to comment on someone's appearance, especially in the context of their death, but I hadn't expected the photos that popped up on my phone and they genuinely took me aback enough for me to (briefly and slightly) freak out.

ERthree · 09/07/2026 18:21

Not a scoobie

Beachtastic · 09/07/2026 18:26

Well I do now, thanks to Google.

What a mad life!!!!!!!!!

Ive had to google him, never heard of him. What freaked you out about him exactly?

Netcurtainnelly · 09/07/2026 18:27

Does he know who we are?😆

Pibs101 · 09/07/2026 18:30

I’m 52, never heard of him. I also don’t have children or nieces and nephews so that might be a factor.

likelysuspect · 09/07/2026 18:31

From what I read he was obviously hugely talented, shame

BacksToTheFuture · 09/07/2026 18:31

I do but only because I saw on SM that he'd died and I looked him up

Before that no but that's not surprising, I'd say most parents only know the people their children are interested in
There are waaaaay too many known people for one person to have heard of them all

BacksToTheFuture · 09/07/2026 18:34

Has the MN algorithm got sunstroke, there is one item in the similar threads box

10 points for anyone who can find any kind of similarity 😂

Might take time to load the photo
