I’ve been informed that people outside UK generally don’t know or care (not caring is the correct response BTW.).
Still seems bizarre to me.
Isn’t this Robbie Williams? I’ve never been in UK.
I don’t know him very well. But he looks like the kind of person who would have gone and spoiled it all by saying something stupid like “I love you”. Sometime around the Millennium.
Ricky Martin x Patton Oswald?
Cannot unsee this now 😂
A little bit of Carson Daly too.
No
I don’t. Looks like a talk show host
I also don’t know who it is. “We have Carson Daly at home.”
As an American I didn’t recognize his face. Then I read that he is Robbie Williams and I also didn’t recognize his name.
Seconded
This is Lemmy, which crowd are you expecting to know him, the Marxists, the distro-snobs or the furries?
The furries
Wait. I’m not a Marxist or distro-snob… Fuck.
Not yet :3 Let’s talk linux once you’re done with your fursuit :P
Leftist Linux user here. I know who he is. He’s the guy who had the awesome video of tearing his muscles off while roller skating and throwing the raw meat at supermodels (Rock DJ).
Also Milllenium really captures the vibe of the 90s.
Edit: I am USian. But I guess his popularity peaked here in the 90s and so a lot don’t know him.
Same here, but it’s worse because I only dabble with Nix on raspberry PIs. I was not a fan of his until he threw his buttcheeks at a model. Though his MTV cribs was decently funny.
Thought you were saying this is Lemmy for a second, which is ludicrous as Lemmy was better looking by far.
Liar! That’s not Lemmy, he doesn’t have any coco puffs on his face!
American here. I have no idea who this is.

He is quite known here in Germany, take that !
Im from Germany and Im quite shocked right now that there are people who dont know him. I was under the impression he was famous all around the world, kind of like Michael Jackson or Elvis. I think if you ask 100 random people in Germany at least 90 will know him.
My reaction exactly.
Germany here, this is:
Robbie! One of the better musicians to rise from the age of boy bands.
Never heard of him.
Not that good with faces or pop singers, but pretty sure it’s Robbie Williams.
Since lemmy-verse user base skews heavily towards the western world, I think the real gap is not going to be UK vs Not UK, but US vs Rest of the World. And since there was a popular movie and a Netflix documentary about him, even Americans are probably more aware of who he is.
I’m a Spaniard and I don’t recognise the face or the name. Maybe I might recognise the melody of any of his most known songs tho.
I’ve seen Better Man and did not recognize OPs pic as Robbie Williams.
Am American and while I recognize the name I wasn’t into his music and forgot his fsce.
Yeah, it’s Matt Damon and Patton Oswald’s fusion dance result.
Huh? I thought it was the baby from the hokey 90s show Dinosaurs, all grown up??
I was thinking alt universe Rami Malek
That’s Robin Williams his son, isn’t he? Robbie? /jk
Yeah, I know him, his hits were also popular in the Netherlands.
Robbie something. A singer, right? (France)
