I grew up one town over from where Tom Brady lived. Sometimes I saw his mom at the store. Barry Bonds used to work out at the same gym as my uncle. I think Robin Willams should live within a few miles of me.

 

Ahh, that reminds me. Dennis Eckersley lives in my town (Hall of Fame Relief Pitcher), I see him at my health club sometimes, and I got his autograph at the supermarket when I was 11 :lol:

yeah, bobby hull who is a famous nhl star (was the first player to have a million dollar contract, and father of bret hull).

 

 

 

on a side note- when i was in san diego for march break in my hotel there was a golf tournament hosted by ladainian tomlinson. oj simpson, the nerdy guy from fresh prince, gary stevens (famous jockey/horse owner), and many other superbowl winners were there.

 

 

 

yes - i saw oj simpson from a foot away :o

oh and many olympians are really close to me from the 1980th century olympics - mostly swimmers (and btw hopefully my bro will make the 2012 olympics! :pray: )

i live 5 mins away from the president of my country :roll:

 

what country is that?

 

 

 

Peru :P

Since I live in Southampton, in one of the nicer suburbs, a lot of the players from Southampton Football Club live relatively near me.

 

 

 

If anyone actually knows/cares, I believe Matt Le Tissier lived within 10 minutes of me for a while (not sure if he still does),

 

Theo Walcott's girlfriend goes to my college, and Chris Baird lives like 15 minutes away.

 

 

 

It doesn't really count, but Benny Hill was born in Eastleigh, which is like a 10 minute drive from my house.

Who's Mike Ness?

 

 

 

I had to ask the same thing.

 

 

 

 

 

No one comes from podunk SC, so no.

I used to live near where Lindsay Lohan, Eddie Murphy, came from. And I think the guy who was Jengo Fett is still there. At the place where I am now, down the street is the original Doublemint twons.

Well, I live in a pretty wealthy town near Boston. Plenty of famous people have lived here, and a good amount still do. I know a few Red Sox players do...A classmate of mine used to live next to David Ortiz, I've been to/seen Varitek's house, and apparently JD Drew also lives here. Wikipedia also tells me Matt Damon, Matt Leblanc (Who went to my school, I think), Ralph Waldo Emerson, Katherine Lee Bates, Ted Williams and Larry Bird did at some time or another. That's just in my town/city, in the surrounding towns, I bet there's much more. Including those that Runescapeloser named.

I live next door to Abraham Lincoln.

Funny failed. Leave.

I just found out Mick Foley(aka Mankind) has a vacation house in my town, i saw him at a local amusement park with his family, i went up and shook his hand, didnt want to talk him away from his family or i would have gotten an autograph.

I live up the road from one of my city's football players. Our city's team isn't all that great though, and the team aren't all that famous either. :P

Okay,so y'all know we practically live near all celebrities...When I was in China we were like this close (fingers) to Jay Chou

 

 

 

But by the way,we're more like ~45 N-S and ~58 E-W...I remember it from my S.S. textbook in P 6.We had a useless,[bleep]y teacher we hated and on that particular lesson we had a sub.Hawt hawt hawt.

I did live near Phil Neville (not the best footballer in the world) but then he moved house.

 

 

 

Have seen a few celebrities off the telly near my town but I don't think they live nearby.
