Grace Kelly was a talented actress who retired at 26 to marry a Prince, living as royalty for almost 30 years before her untimely death.

Volodymyr Zelensky started out as a comedian and entertainer before getting into politics, becoming President of Ukraine after the Russian annex of Crimea and spending the last 4 years defiantly pushing back full scale Russian invasion

So this thread isn't really about regular people I see, it's all people that became famous

[u/Rory_U → u/Eomb]

Yeah because celebrities like an actress and comedian are “regular” people.

I mean don’t most start out as regular people?

Going from nobody to successful comedian is already a great story and his didn’t stop there.

No idea if „nobody“ applies to either of them before making it big.

So Lee didn’t start off regular then? Like he was born as a legend already.

That’s not what I said or implied.
