I feel a bit of a dork here but hear me out. I met Peter* at one of my regular fav haunts. It's a quiet, out-of-the-way place used by those who share a common pass-time. Peter & I must have similar schedules because we often rock-up at the same time. Over a period, we've progressed from a smile & nod at a distance, to polite small-talk, to sharing a space to do our hobby side-by-side - with the accompanying chit-chat that goes with it. I felt like we were right on the cusp of becoming quite pally. I don't have a tv & seldom read the news online apart from a quick scan of the headlines, I'm a bit out of touch really. Then a week ago I suddenly saw his pic in the news & thought 'Oh fuck'. I was shocked. I know Peter's just a bloke like any other person underneath it. He doesn't court the press like some do but now I feel a bit funny about the next time we meet up. He's never told me who he is other than first names & I suspect he likes the quiet friendship. I feel funny about it now. Do I say something? If I don't I feel a bit awkward. Wwyd?

The op is also famous, but has no idea because they don't know anything about famous people Shock. Peter doesn't know whether to play it cool.

Metal detecting with Nicholas Lyndhurst. It's gotta be.

I was having lunch with my boss one day in a restaurant and Robbie Williams was sat at the next table. My boss had no clue who he was. He had never heard of him. And this was about 17 years ago, at the height of Robbie’s fame. So it is possible not to know who someone incredibly famous is.

Rod Stewart was on the news, he gave some money to some model trainers, as he's also an enthusiast.

If he's so famous haven't others clocked him, are you sure he's not a looky likey?
