People you know who share names with celebs/characters

[Zak]

This would've been a PCG-ish poll, but... guess it'd fit here now.
So, I was just looking at the "Shame" trailer and reading about how there's another "Steve McQueen" getting famous in Hollywood now... and was thinking about people I knew who share names with celebrities.

I went to high school with an Anthony Hopkins... and my college-counselor there was named Bill Murray.

I feel like there are more as well, sure you must've encountered some too.

The only one I can think of off the top of my head is when my dad was browsing Facebook and, IIRC, one of his friends has a relative named Aaron Rodgers.

I went to school with Reed Richards.

[Zak]

I have never heard of either of those people.

[Katie]

My boyfriend's ex's last name sounds like "Zoolander" but is spelled differently. That's all I got :notfunny:

[Lady Vulpix]

My mum saw a patient named Mercedes Sosa last week.

I can't believe I didn't think of this one before!

I went to school with a Michael Jordan. We called him "white Michael Jordan"

I know a guy who is called Alistair Campbell.

I visited someone in the hospital once and there was a Jean Gray on the visitor list at the front desk o.o

Asi: Sweet!

Zak: Reed Richards AKA Mr. Fantastic of the Fantastic Four.

One of my clients is Lois Griffin. She's pretty nice.

Also, this one isn't a celebrity or a well-known character, but several years ago, I wrote a story in which one of my characters was named Samantha Cross. I was working at a shipping company at the time of the writing. A few weeks after completing the segment that featured this character, one of the Ship-To addresses I had to process bore the exact same name. Creepy.

Omg Matt XDDD that is scary o.o


That reminds me of when I made my character Jane Fox. I drew her and showed my dad and he said one of his ex gf's in high school was named Jane Fox...and I didn't know that. Was a bit weird lol

Oh how could I forget! I had a boss named Michael Jackson in college.

And went to school with a Ryan Nolan (which is opposite-order of Nolan Ryan, the baseball player)

I have never heard of either of those people.
Look them up.

One of them is fictitious.
