If famous people had to be real

    I was listenin to Joe Rogans podcast and I couldnt believe how good he was at conversations. he always has something to say and its always realy funny or interesting and realy confident. it got me thinkin though. he is talking to his friends or people who know him and are interested to talk to him. if a famous person had to chat to people normaly, as in the person they were talkin to didnt know they were famous and werent interested in whatever they are famous for, do you think they would be able to be as interesting and entertaining as they seem?


    its like when gordon ramsay was on jonathan ross, he seems cool there but if he was talkin to somebody who didnt like cookin or celebrties and didnt know him i think he would be a boring psycho. whereas i think bruce willis could be a real guy and just have a cool conversation anyway.

    what do you think, would most famous people fail to be interesting if they had to be like all of us? who would not fail? :):)

    I'd say he's a bit of a wanker.

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,663 ✭✭✭Immaculate Pasta


    Completely agree OP. I mean erm like Samuel L. Jackson always comes across as a cool guy and very approachable but he would be torture to wonder around Centra with let's be honest... :cool:

    It depends. Gordon Ramsey..no! However he is famous for cooking bla bla bla.. But someone like Cheryl Cole id still have to be surgically removed from. Famous or no.

    Celebs are boring c$nts. FACT!
    You would be too iff people catered to your every whim.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,822 ✭✭✭Mickey H


    I'd say Giovanni Trappatoni's interpreter would be very interesting. She's a looker if nothing else.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,538 ✭✭✭flutterflye


    I don't find clebs interesting at all in the first place though!

    i think there are some that are for sure but not all. like dara o brian, hed be funny :)

    Plenty of non-famous people out there who are fascinating - i met a guy from Magnum, the photo agency who had spent his life taking photos of war zones - very cool man, should be on TV daily, but there you go. Some famous people are deadly craic, others are dull as ditchwater. I met a man yesterday who is ultra well known, and in fairness, he could have mumbled the alphabet and I'd have listened agog as it was surreal just standing beside him - not showbiz famous, just a household name - funny things happen to rational people when they meet a "celeb" - I thought I acted pretty cool, but maybe I was just kidding myself.

    Well, they'd stop calling their kids after fruit, planetery essences, or kitchen utensils or whatever stupid idea comes into their very detached minds.

    I would find the idea of sitting beside many celebs on a plane or train journey a hindrance , I mean they would automatically assume I'm fan or something and want to chat to them .

    Joe Rogan is going over the same stuff a lot lately. I find myself more and more fast forwarding through large chunks of his podcasts.

    He also believes in Bigfoot and has a new diet every week that's better than the last one.

    he doesnt believe in bigfoot or fake moonlands or any of that hes just open to it.

    i forgot to say, met keith wood the rugby player once with my dad. he was realy down to earth. i think alot of sports stars are more interestin people than actors.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,455 ✭✭✭Where To


    I had an A list guitarist to the airport last week, had some real interesting stories and the run passed very quickly. I thought what a genuinely interesting guy this is.

    After helping him with his luggage, he pulled a tenner from his wallet(it was a contract job, he wasnt paying) but asked me for a fiver back so he could get breakfast.

    I thought to myself 'what a ****!'
