At least google will help with Dylan Alcott but it didn't help with ADB. I’m not sure how you missed knowing about him buy YMMVMore to the point, what's a Dylan Allcott?

It’s funny you thought of Barry Humphries as old in the 80s He was probably not much older than you are now.My very first visit to a lounge was as a 16 year old in the 80's with my friend and his dad...I obviously didnt fly much at that age and was amazed that I could have "free" coke and lollies.
My friends dad said "That's Dame Edna over there"...I knew who she was and looked for a lady with purple hair, but all I saw was an old man drinking coffee by himself...Barry Humphries.
Since then I have seen some cricketers and footballers, a few Big Brother types, a politician or two but nobody I would rate as proper "famous".

I obviously don’t get out enough…. Celebrities don’t rate all that highly with me in any event.At least google will help with Dylan Alcott but it didn't help with ADB. I’m not sure how you missed knowing about him buy YMMV
Dylan Alcott is not a “celebrity”, he is the 2022 Australian of the Year. That might be considered as being famous. This thread title does not refer to “celebrities“, who I agree are often just DYKWIA types in their own minds and definitely not worth mentioning.I obviously don’t get out enough…. Celebrities don’t rate all that highly with me in any event.
Not a celebrity, more of a happenstance in my case ...Does a celebrity spotter become a celebrity?!

What with so much entertainment being ad-free these days, it’s easy to miss stuff you‘ve got little interest in, like stuff to do with sport & Australian Of The Year awards given to sportspeople.I obviously don’t get out enough…. Celebrities don’t rate all that highly with me in any event.
Does AFF have red carpet for their meetups?AFF (FT) celebrities
With your weight loss, you are obviously not the figure you once were.In the bar of the IC Double Bay listening to the trio with singer, guitarist and pianist. Also listening is Marcia Hines.
Now I am miffed. 40 years ago I was involved in getting her to perform at the Maitland Show. Now she walked straight past me and showed no recognition.
Will just have to have another drink.

I actually bumped into him in a pub in London and he was a completely charming and passionate about the airline.I arrived back into SYD from a nice time in Europe the other day and after riding the cattle truck to T3 entered the escalator up to the QF lounge. At the top of the escalator emerging from the Chairman's Lounge was the wretched Alan Jones. That's one way to shatter you back to reality and know you're back home.
Oh that would have been a nice sighting. He's a great actor.Dev Patel on a domestic QF (of course!) flight to ADL.
Lovely guy. With his Australian partner.
