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

Show-biz people hanging with other show-biz people seems to be the mainstay of this thread. Bernie yakking with Ginsberg was a refreshing exception.

Oh, I thought that was Salman Rushdie!

But I guess Hadrian's post makes more sense now.

My mental image of Emmylou was stuck way back in the past: that was a bit of a shock.

Tuomas, it is clearly a dog, now you are just being silly

What's a dog?

sorry if this is huge

not totally unexpected but nice to see dubstep radio queen Mary Anne Hobbs with ILM darling Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith

this morning's film on bbc2 featured a scene between john wayne and thora hird.

this is maybe not *too* surprising as he has talked about being a fan of the band (also maybe slightly stretching the definition of "famous people") but - Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron with Martin McAloon from Prefab Sprout (Paddy's younger brother)

itt people i've never heard of looking nervous together

that's fantastic but I feel for Tuomas rn

Well, Michael Jackson, and Bennie Hill. <3 u tuomas

Benny, to help Tuomas even further.

It was quite well known in the UK (probably more so than in the US) that Jacko was a massive BH stan and was widely reported over here, I think after his final exile from UK tv.

It's like there was a summit and each country sent its best entertainer...

Was about to say that Benny Hill looks like he's got one one of those wrist tags you have to wear if you're in hospital, then I noticed that the towel(?) behind him appears to be from the Royal Brompton Hospital. Curiouser and curiouser.

Today in Michael Jackson History February 22nd

1974 - The Jackson 5 performed at The Astrodome in Houston, Texas.

1992 - While in England, Michael and his young friend Brett Barnes visit comedian Benny Hill at the Royal Brompton Hospital in London.. He brings flowers and spends 35 minutes at Benny Hill's bedside. Jackson is said to also have asked Hill if he wanted to appear in a video with him, to which the comic replies, "Of course, why not?" Jackson then confesses to Hill that he watches his shows every day and that he has hundreds of his videos. Benny Hill's best friend, TV producer Dennis Kirkland, reveals, "Michael had invited Benny to stay with him next time he is in L.A. The 67-year-old comic has been convalescing from a heart attack, but refused to undergo a heart bypass and passes away three months later from coronary thrombosis.

They were also visiting London,capital of England.

I'm a bit offended that you think I wouldn't recognise Benny Hill. :( I loved his show as a kid, and I even started this ILE thread:

Post some animated GIFs you can watch to the tune of "Yakety Sax" aka the Benny Hill Show theme song

maybe not all that unexpected, but it's a nice photo: Holly Johnson and Danny Dyer

All celebrities should have their names on their hats, just to simplify the thread a little.
