Apart from tv, Kirsty Young possibly does well out of property?
Hugh Grant hasn't been in anything for years now has he? Whilst I'm fond of Notting Hill, everything he's in involves Hugh Grant playing Hugh Grant
At least I know who they are compared to half the people on here who are probably a bit niche.
Honestly, I could be sitting across from someone "famous" right and I wouldn't know them from Larry!

Celebrity in the Family.
My sister is an often recognizable US TV/movie actress and she will be flying BA back from London this spring with her family in Club World. Let me know if you see her in the lounge.

As for recent roles, he had a very brief and fun screen moment as Daniel Craig's gay lover in GLASS ONION.

I think rather less worldwide would recognise Kirsty Young

But this thread should have been renamed “disagree with me that this person is a celebrity” long ago!
Also, fewer.
