Charlotte Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 So we haven't had one of these for a while and it's interesting. Give me your claim to fame/15 mins of fame/famous relations etc I'll start with a rather tenuous one:- My sister's best friend is the neice of Alan Rickman. And the random that won x-factor a few years ago - Steve Brookstein was a security guard for my mum and dad when their house was being built. I have more but.... Next!

DanGX Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I met Angelina Jolie a few times when I worked in the cinema. She used to come in with Madox and her sister. Angelina was nice, sister was unpleasant. Also, as for family, I'm illigimately related to the throne of Denmark thanks to a promiscious great grandmother.

Animal Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I used to crew for Smax Smith when he was running his Fuel Altered Funny Car, Mainline Menace 3 and I was his IT guy/webmaster when he became 2003 FIA European Top Fuel Funny Car Champion (with a run of 4.89 @ 303.14mph). I also became infamous in AWoL bike magazine as the 'Naked Man in Crosser Boots' after my malarky at a Jesters MCC rock night was published (with photos) I have also been on stage with Jethro Tull as part of his stage set. He had a living room set up on stage and me and a couple of others were invited to sit up there for a few songs drinking tea. That was cool.

Ace Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Ian Wright signed my dad's birthday card for me in the Arsenal FC merchandise chop when I was about 10. Happened across Glen Johnson and Leroy Lita blundering about separately, but both looking lost, in Bluewater about 2 years ago. Had a drink and a long chat with Andy Fordham one Christmas while he still owned the Rose pub in Dartford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 My dad knows Chubby Brown (my Uncle got him his first gig), and I've met him a couple of times while out shopping with the folks. He's a good bloke Martin Carr from the Boo Radleys once came to a small gathering at my Student digs after DJing at the SU bar. He was a bit of a big head, if I'm honest.

Mike Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I met the Towers of London a couple of times on some random Camden nights out... remember them? On one of the night I woke up to find Christian (guitarist) had left his jacket.. and mobile phone (it was a bit of a messy night). As it turned out he was with Sadie Frost at the time and it was her phone. I duly returned it via Charlottes brother... the money I could have got for that!? Also, the guitarist from Sigur Ros appeared at our hotel door with a pint of Guinness whilst on another crazy night out in Camden. He wanted to come in and join us... it was a bit of a party thing in my room. He was a very nice man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGX Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I know one of the towers of London went to my school. Year below me. They used to come to our local quite often, at least a couple of years ago. Not sure what they are up to now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
