Photos taken of famous people together that you would never have expected to be together but make you happy all the same.

It hadn't occurred to me either. That Wimbledon pic looks like the organisers have them on a careful seating plan tbh.

George Michael's in there as well.

people you fully expected to appear in a photo together at some point but never have?

I would totally expect to see a photo of Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen together but I can't find one. Same goes for Lou Reed with Jim Morrison (who apparently met at early Velvets shows in LA).

Looking at that pic closely it's clear that it was actually taken at Live Aid. You can see the logo on the laminate that the guy in the middle is wearing (who is he?). And is that Bryan Adams in the left foreground?

The fellow in the middle looks a bit like John Reid, Elton's manager. But probably isn't.

Is there something strange about the way Princess Diana looks in that shot? Something odd about the focus or the light? It looks like a cut and paste job but I can't work out why.

Looks legit to me.

i think laminate dude *is john reid, but i don't think that's bryan adams

A little GIS-ing reveals that it's actually Jim Beach, Queen's manager.

gah, right! i knew i recognised him as some kind of mid-80s megabucks manager.

Being able to see the white under someone's iris ilike that is always weird.

Slightly against the spirit of the thread, but I am happy, in a way

I give up, who is that w 40

uncle phil

Who are the folks in Alba's pic? I only recognize O'Brien from Star Trek?

never change Tuomas

it's colm meaney, julian bashir and will wheaton. not really unexpected tbh

I'm pretty sure I'd recognize Alexander Siddig and Wil Wheaton, no way are those other guys them!

I'm with Tuomas on this, I don't recognize the other guys. Wil Wheaton has a beard.

THought it was George W and Gore at first.

l-r: jeremy clarkson tv/cars, alex james bassist/cheesemonger, abducted child, david cameron child abductor

Ah, I was gonna say it's Cameron, but then I thought he would have an aide or someone to take care of the baby, so I wasn't so sure... Not familiar with the other two names, I guess they're UK celebrities?

uncle phil

haha oh shit

who is uncle phil

Tuomas: Alex James was the bassist in Wigwam, with Betty Boo

apparently finds E-40 far more entertaining than Fresh Prince, or maybe the years have just softened his stance on hip-hop

Don't feel bad, sic, I didn't know who E-40 was.

Ok, look, see? I am absolutely positive that I am the last person to know that Steve Jobs and Ross Perot were buddies, ok?

Can I finish, Larry? Can I finish?

This has been making the rounds on FB today...not "Unexpected" as this was backstage at Bowie's 50th Birthday Concert, but volume man, volume. (Also, if we need to kick off a 'Dave Grohl + Weirdos' thread, here's the place to start.)

I like how the then-Gordon-Moore's got Coco into the picture.

Is that what it looked like backstage at MSG at that concert? I thought all these people would have contract riders specifying tibetan wall paintings, elegant furniture, fine wines, fresh flowers in abundance etc.

I guess that's DiCaprio on the background, but who are the other two? Is the dude in the middle 50 Cent?

It's the Uncle from the Fresh Prince and Michelle Obama.

Leonardo Dicaprio, 50 Cent and supermodel Naomi Campbell

lol, alex

Naomi's hands seem to be ageing faster than the rest of her.

I wonder how Leo and Fiddy's hands are doing.

Broad City + Sleater-Kinney (not unexpected perhaps, but it makes me happy all the same)

Ha, there are articles on both S-K & BC placed right next each other in the new Rolling Stone!

I would totally expect to see Alice and Lennon together, if i remember correctly they were pretty tight

Then again based on this thread, i dont know if Cooper is eligible because it wouldnt surprise me to see him in a picture with Ghandi at this point.

who is the lady in the hat?

Haha I almost managed to convince myself that Alice's "Exorcist" T-shirt was a The Korgis T-shirt. That would have been much better.

who is the lady in the hat?

Alice's wife Sheryl, I think.

For a second, I wanted to believe it was Stevie Nicks.
