Mediocre claims to fame

I work on movie sets and at TV studios cooking for cast and crew, I have been working here for 4 years now. I have cooked meals for quite a few celebs now including, but not limited to...

Brad Pitt
Minnie Driver
Taika Waititi
Rita Ora
Florence Pugh
Jason Momoa
Dave Bautista
Jack Black

And many more I cannot be bothered to remember.

Luckily for me, I don't get excited with celebs, I wouldn't recognize half of them if I passed them in the street lol!

(Jack Black was really nice actually, I won't share my opinion of JM ;) )
 
I met Kevin Whately of Auf Wiedersehen Pet, Morse and got a pic with him. I was an extra in a crap TV show he was doing, The Brokers Man.

You can see me playing rugby in one scene and then in another in the team baths. I had to get out the bath, flick a towel over my shoulder and walk off butt naked to the changing rooms. When i watched the show on TV the actress Sarah-Jane Potts eyed me up and down and said something like, "this job has some perks" :cry:

Met Ewan McGregor in a hot and sandy place. Spent about 30mins just me, him and his PA. He was very quiet and just wanted to get out of Dodge as there were rockets going off all around us.

I won a group competition when I was 10 with my school and got to appear on the really wild show from the 80s. Met Terry Nutkins, Chris Packham and Michaela Strachan.
All of me that appeared on the TV though was my shoulder
 
Went to the same youth club as Keira Knightley and used to play gigs with her brother's band.

Had my music played on BBC radio several times over the years

Nick Frost lives down the road and goes to the same local pub
 
I supplied the chemistry set to yorkshire tv for the girls bedroom in my parents are aliens.

That's a good one. I loved that programme.

Another one I remembered - I went to the filming of Celebrity Big Brother...I can't remember who it was that got kicked out, but my friend and I managed to cover the whole camera filming the audience with a sign that said "ODIOUS". It was live so my mum was able to watch us gleefully cover the whole thing.

Saw Jonathan Edwards at the imperial war museum some time back with his family. we were in the canteen and were just leaving so offered him our table.
And a few weeks back , was selling at the EM-Con in nottingham and Danny John Jules walked past, i gave him the "right on" hand sign and he reciprocated. He's quite small in RL unlike Edwards, who's all legs.
 
Just remembered, on a flight from Belfast to London, Gwendoline Christie ( Brienne of Tarth from GoT) walked down the isle, kinda hard to miss given shes 6ft 3in
