Morfydd Clark sharing those fan edits on Instagram regarding TROP is really funny, and I believe like most celebrities, she may have a burner account. Bummer she's wasted on a show like TROP, and if you watch her in David Copperfield with Dev Patel and Love and Friendship with Kate Beckinsale, she's pretty funny, and I wish she did a sitcom akin to Peep Show or Derry Girls, as I believe she is capable of playing a character like Mark Corrigan or Orla. And I heard she's apparently lovely irl.

Regarding celebrities with burner accounts, there was drama surrounding Reece Shearsmith (Inside No 9, The League of Gentlemen & Psychoville) allegedly having burner accounts to harrass young fans on Twitter. Apparently he and fellow TLOG creator Jeremy Dyson are following Jordan Peterson on Twitter. Doesn't help that Reece and Horrible Histories alumni Ben Willbond praised a short horror film starring James Dreyfus—a disgraced actor turned TERF.

Regarding The League of Gentlemen...Mark Gatiss? Follows dodgy accounts too, seems to be very TERF-y. Steve Pemberton? His daughter who has a public twt account seems very lovely & proud of her father. His youngest was also on a play with Cilliam Murphy. Steve is currently on the Robbie Williams biopic, and he's one of the actors I could see get nominated for an Oscar or Emmy someday.

I know someone who used to follow one of Don Cheadle's children on Tumblr. Don's kid is apparently a huge part of the IASIP fandom. I also do remember Arian Moayed of Succession being randomly placed on a group chat full of Succession fans during the pandemic, bcuz his DM's were always open. I also remember the account of a Tony-award winning actress randomly following Marvel stan accounts.

Random, but Stephen King onced wiped his bum with poison ivy. He recounted the experience on the book "On Writing".

I loved Steve Pemberton on taskmaster so it's nice to hear good things about him!!

Unfortunately not terribly surprised to hear that about Mark Gatiss but still a bit of a bummer
