00:00Hi I'm Theo with Manchester World and today I'm going out into Manchester to ask people on the
00:04street about celebrities. Now with Manchester becoming the home to so many films and tv shows
00:10and with an ever-increasing amount of studios based in the city or on the outskirts it's become
00:15much more likely in recent years that some celebrities would be amongst us. With that in
00:19mind let's go see who people have met. I'm sure I don't think I've bumped into anyone here. I've
00:23seen Paddy McGuinness the WPMA at work. He was having a meal. He was nice enough. He was quite
00:32chilled out. It was quite nice yeah. We bumped into Finn Wolfhard who was an actor in Stranger Things
00:37and that was a pretty incredible experience and he was a really lovely guy and we shared music
00:42recommendations because we were actually at a record store at the time and yeah it was it was
00:46cool. It was nice to know that celebrities out there are still down-to-earth people and calm
00:51and relaxed and easy to talk to. I've never actually seen anyone but I was I just missed
00:56H the rapper supposedly handing out merch once but that would have been that big of a deal
01:03for me to see him but I just missed him supposedly. Okay well I met Lady Partridge actually at
01:08Southend Daniels where I work. That was nice. He was very lovely. My sister's a massive fan as well so
01:14yeah he was really nice. I've been doing a lot of filming around here recently so I've been
01:17seeing quite a few people. Celebrities who have you bumped into? I've bumped into Bailey Jo Mills.
01:22She's a drag queen. I love that on Canal Street. That was really fun. I'm big into music and I'm
01:27coming to Manchester. I know a few DJs that perform here so I'd love to catch up with
01:33maybe a big DJ that I'm a fan of is Interplanetary Criminal from I'm pretty sure he's from Manchester
01:38but I'd love to hang out with him and share music and just pick his brain a little bit and so yeah
01:42maybe that's one. I'd like to see Brian Cox. Apparently he teaches at Manchester Uni but
01:46yeah I used to read his books when I was little and it's like one of the reasons I went into physics
01:51so I think that'd be quite cool. Lorna del Rey. We love Lorna del Rey. Yeah that's the answer.
01:56Yeah. That's all for now. Follow us at Manchester World Football.
