Anya Taylor-Joy is not a model, she is an argentine actress who captured Netflix with fire because of her performance in A Queen's Gambit which is about a genius chess player with drug problems.

All apologies. The video said she had once been a model; it's good to hear her career is progressing.

But in what weird ways did they get famous? This is just a list of names and a link to a video.

In regards to Vin Diesel, he got started in stage acting when he and his friends broke into a theatre with plans to vandalize it, but they were caught by the theatre director. She gave them a choice: she could all the police or they could have parts in the next stage production. Obviously they didn't want her to call the police. :mrgreen:

I wonder what kind of role it was?

The video didn't say.

I just posted the link (with the names, for some 'context') as a starter to get us commenting on 'whichever strange fame we're interested in discussing.'

The play was Barbara Garson's Dinosaur Door.

By having a role on the show Baywatch? Because she was famous for that long before someone illegally made money off of invading the privacy of her and her husband.

I think you mixed that up; I think she was a star of BAYWATCH before the tape came out.

(She became famous by simply sitting in the stands at a football game; the camera caught her, the 'agent' saw her & she became a model (first for the brand she was wearing at the game, then for PLAYBOY, and so on).)

Gisele's story isn't that weird, as she was actually taking a class to be a model when they scouted her taking a break at a McDonald's.

I think you are right about that, I messed up the events, she was already famous when the tape come to the public.
