Real “claim to fame”

Jump to newest
 

By (user no longer on site) OP

I’m always entertained by the claim to fame posts that pop up every now and then. But is there anyone on here that has a real claim to fame?

Have some of you worked on our favourite tv shows? Written books that everyone loves? Produced songs that have topped the charts?

I’m intrigued to see which creative types we have on here...

Speak up with your true claim to fame! No need to reveal your identity.

Not so much a claim to fame, but I went to school with Lord Andrew Adonis (ex Labour Minister), Guy Pratt who replaced Roger Waters in Pink Floyd, and Phil Lynott still owes me a pint

There's a website that lawyers, news stations and press from around the world go to when they need to find an expert on a given field.

I'm the only expert in my field listed on that site.

I devised a new method of detecting corrosion in aircraft airframes, that traditional methods can't pick up.

I was an extra in the Wesley Snipes film

The Contractor. They filmed the “Police Department interior shots” at my then workplace.

I (and many others) was background staff in an Iain Robertson scene. Myself and a friend had our pic taken with him (he was lovely!).

You don’t see us in the film, but we had a good time and it was fun. Made me appreciate how long it took for a film to be made - there is shitloads of waiting around, our small bit of the film took many, many hours to film. Got paid £50 too!

I have a cousin who was quite famous and had a lead role in one of the primetime soaps for a few years and was also in a popular sitcom.

I also have a cousin who is quite infamous and was front page news on more than one occasion. I was mistaken for him on a night out once, it's really not a good place to be in, given his misdemeanors.

I'm the opposite of famous, even my neighbour of some ten years standing can never remember my name.
