Folks Online Share 30 Honest Responses About Having A Famous Person In The Family

My good friend is a very successful spicy smut author. I honestly keep forgetting she’s famous… her and her husband are just my friends. But then, I occasionally get a reminder about her fame when we can’t hang out because she’s travelling for book signings or events.

There are some perks, though. Right now I’m posting his from their massive house because I’m house sitting for them while they are at their villa in a European country far, far away for the next couple months.

My friend's uncle (by marriage) is an Oscar-winning director. His whole family mooches off of his uncle with one cousin basically ALWAYS crashing at one of the director's four homes.

Some people thought that my friend was BSing until some people in my friend group got into the director's house by asking my friend for an invite and took selfies with the Oscar.

I have some extended family members and friends in the music industry. I don’t talk about it very often. A few friends have figured it out because of social media. I have had people call me to see if I could get them some free tickets to a legendary venue. I don’t even ask because that’s just not something I am willing to do. Otherwise, it’s easy to be supportive and happy for them.

Well he’s like a brother. But whenever I’m around him, people are like ants on an ice cream cone. They treat him like a god. It’s really funny when they start talking about things he has done. I end up just telling everyone that he’s not that good or start making fun of him.

In Japan he is like The Beatles, there will be a line 1/4 mile long just to get a view.

He had painted one of my snowboards and a couple people asked me if they could see it. I ended up waiting around for 20 minutes because they were taking pictures.

My uncle wasn't a player but he was pretty high up in the Manchester United club. Travelled the world with them, been on tv on the sidelines all the time etc. but other than a couple of pictures of like Sir Alex Ferguson visiting his house and things like that I don't really have much proof so no one really believes me. Also his last name is different to mine (he married into the family).

Every time I go out with my brother someone recognizes him and wants to chat. At first it was annoying, but i can tell he still gets a kick out of it. It's just funny to me, because i still just see him as my little brother.

My brother-in-law is a youtuber and it doesn’t really affect me all that much but its funny when my friends see he’s following me and go crazy about it.

My stepbrother is a little over 6”10 and plays in the G league. Not many know him but the amount of stares and people asking him questions in public is so annoying - how tall are you? Do you play basketball? What size do you wear? Were you tall like this as a child? - I don’t know how he does it.

Somebody I worked with was a cousin to a very famous musician. About the only thing that impacted her was a few selfies she could show, grandma’s house was upgraded and the family Thanksgiving was massively upgraded even when he didn’t attend.

My cousin was a runway model and every time she came home to visit it was like she expected a parade. If you wanted to hang out with her you had to schedule a time slot. All the while she was saying how nice it is to be home and back to normal living.
