    I did this to someone once. Had no idea who he was, then he told me and I admitted the name sounded familiar but I still wasn’t sure, he seemed a bit confused, but overall relieved.

    I didn’t know who Garth Brooks was at the time. I at least knew his name after that. It was a long time ago, I was just an autistic weirdo in a Slipknot shirt.

      Aside from the fact it’s a greentext and probably fake, I could understand recognizing a face from a movie or something and still not knowing who they are.

        Especially seeing them out of context. I once ran into a newscaster on public transit, and thought they looked somehow different from the rest of us, but couldn’t really place it. At some point later, I had vaguely recognized them as a newscaster on one of the local stations that I didn’t watch, so I still don’t really know who they were.

    Ive straight up asked people who are attractive if they’re famous before and they’re like well I did modeling once but theres no way you’ve seen that. Different fucking breed, they make people ugly and unfashionable where I’m from.
