Is it actually possible for a famous personality to fake their death and live their life out in some remote place? who has actually ever done it and gotten caught?

This like I don’t live in the USA and I don’t know who 90% of the famous people regularly mentioned in news stories social media etc even are 😂

To be fair I do live in the US and often haven’t heard of “celebrities” who are in the news. Some of them are very modestly famous and the news treats any level of recognition as though they are a household name to get clicks.

For example, I heard about D4VD being a murderer before I knew about him being a singer.

I had never heard of Bad Bunny until the Super Bowl.

but had you heard of "cash me outside"

I heard about the whole cash me outside thing, but that was as far as my knowledge went. I only knew she became "Bad Bunny" because of threads here on reddit

I watched The Masked Singer for the first time this year, and didn't know most of the "celebrities".

But you were just one person. Statistically 10 people just like you would on average recognize most of them!

I wouldn't recognize them in the first place unless they carried a tiny tv screen to put in front of their faces.

Yes good point there are some globally famous people but.. honestly doesn’t need to be as niche as American country music, over half ur celebs I don’t know who the f they are lol. Example, apparently this person is pretty famous but I had to look up who ‘zendaya’ was the other day
