People Share The Most Famous Person In Their Family In An Online Community And They Are All Awesomely Cool
Some had very interesting things to uncover while tracking down their family tree.
Ah, to live this life as a celebrity may be the dream for many people, but being related to one of them also has its perks! It's a foolproof way of saying, "Hey, I'm interesting!" once you share that fact with the world.
It's one thing to completely fangirl over someone famous, and it's another to see them at family reunions. You might begin to wonder how these people act in such proximity to someone you only see on TV and the big screen.
Most people are actually cool with it. Sometimes, they are also lucky enough that these celebrities still attend their family functions and just act like their old selves without the spotlight being forced on them.
However, it can sometimes be a tad annoying if people are eager to befriend you once they realize you have a connection to a celebrity they have a crush on. Being related to someone famous can indeed have its perks, but it also has some disadvantages—people seem to make your relation to them your only personality!
In the subreddit AskReddit, a user who goes by the handle u/LoveSimpleHacks asked: "Who is the most famous person in your family?" and, sure enough, the people of Reddit delivered. Some of these aren't actually celebrities, but individuals who have made their way to the top through remarkable achievements.
