Bass-playing Slebs


Recommended Posts

Do we have on here a list of celebrities who happen to inhabit the 4-string world as a sideline? We have Prince William, and many know that Top Gear’s Richard Hammond also dabbles. Let’s start with those two and I’ll edit the list as suggestions come in. I used to have a very modest list of maybe half a dozen but it hit the recycle bin at some point.
As the list gets updated I may be adding names for which I've not seen evidence of their bass playing. If some names seem unlikely to you, please shout; hopefully those putting forward names will back them up with pics/articles etc.

Prince William (British monarchy)
Richard Hammond (former Top Gear presenter)
Keanu Reeves (actor)
Penn Jillette (of illusionist duo Penn & Teller)
Gary Sinise, actor (Apollo 13, Forrest Gump, CSI, etc)
Hulk Hogan (actor, former wrestler)
Martin Clunes (actor)
Johnny Depp (actor)
Mark Kermode (TV presenter & journalist)
Harry Shearer (former Simpsons voice-over actor)
Mike Huckabee (US politician)
Curtley Ambrose (former West Indies cricketer)
Nigel Short (chess player)
Phil Jupitus (comedian)
David Cameron (British politician & Prime Minister)
Kim Kardashian (celebrity)
Gary Oldman (actor)
Daniel Radcliffe (actor)
Kevin McCloud (designer, 'Grand Designs' TV presenter)

Johnny Depp was a musician in South Florida long before he went to L.A. and became an actor.

He often used to stand in when a band's regular player wasn't available....
