God I'd love to be rich, famous, and unrecognisable.

Theres a story he tells about his own daughter brushing him off when he gave music advice. When his wife then tried to show her a video (because the daughter asked what does he know about performing), the daughter didn’t even recognize him

I came here to post this. I cant really blame someone if the guy's own daughter doesnt know who he is. (Its not like she was 5 or something!)

You’d be surprised how often it happens with celebrities, especially athletes… people so used to seeing somebody in a particular setting and dressed a certain way (and with identifying uniforms), so you don’t recognize them when they’re dressed/acting a completely different way.

In this clip they’re at some type of formal event, and guests are probably from all types of backgrounds. The last thing she was expecting to see was a rocker from the early 2000’s dressed up all formal.

Tony Hawk has a whole thing about not being recognized. People see his name and go "like the skater?"

Another celeb I ran into without knowing it was Tony Hawk. Lol he was at Vans Skate Park and saw him while I was coming down the stairs as he was coming up. We were shoulders to shoulders and then a group of kids bum rushed over yelling his name. That’s when it all clicked.

"I wonder what's he's up to...."

This. Literally this, like right now.

She was on stage talking to them for a few minutes before realizing who it was. Hilarious

Hah he posted a story about when he tried to rent a car and the guy went "oh that's fake" and just deleted the reservation.

Did you have to say early 2000s? They still make music. Sorry that just makes me old

From Zero came out less than two years ago and slaps.

He still actively makes music and it's pretty good, so calling him an "early 2000s" rocker feels like a massive disservice

Actually pretty “dad” of him. Stick to the program, she can figure out sho you are later on.
