Your claim to fame.

I know some of the guys in Ape Rape Escape, a Swedish band who are doing pretty well. Other than that, I can't say I have any connection to anyone "famous".

I'm related to a god from Nordic mythology though, that's pretty cool.

My uncle sold a hot dog to Wille Nelson a long time ago. My sister met Leonardo DiCaprio by accident on the beach in New Smyrna while he was shooting a movie. The same sister also met and chatted up Bruce Campbell at a book signing. My dad met Elvis when his friend played guitar for him. My mother in law went to high school with Blondie.

Edit-My sister in law has met John Travolta. He tipped her a hundred dollars.

I once got off with a girl who's friend knows the guy who plays Cook in Skins. "Cook" knows "Effy" (obviously) who is friends with Emma Watson. Emma Watson works with Michael Gambon who once appeared on Top Gear, so obviously he's met Jeremy Clarkson who [etc. etc.].

The only one i remember off the top of my head is that Pierce Brosnan lived with my grandparents and their children when he was a teenager. So did his mum. Or something like that, i don't remember it fully.
That happened long before i was even born though.
Unless you count my nan's Uncle George who worked on movies including Star Wars and has the original script for Episode 4, or my mum's cousin who works as at Pinewood studios. I personally wouldn't count those two though.
