    Cillian Murphy, apparently he deliberately looked for movies that he thought wouldn’t do well because he didn’t want to be famous. Then peaky blinders happened.

      He was in 28 Days Later, the Dark Knight trilogy, and Inception well before Peaky Blinders which were all very successful (perhaps 28 Days Later only in the UK). Granted he wasn’t the lead in the Nolan films but I would contest that he wasn’t famous before Peaky Blinders.

    Rick Astley, of “Never Gonna Give You Up” fame.

    EDIT: Honestly, a lot of people known for being in a meme probably do a pretty good job of fitting into this camp, outside of maybe where viral marketing campaigns have managed to intentionally create successful memes themselves.

    The kid who thought he was helping build up the Scots wikipedia. Short version: he wasn’t. More information here.

    Not really sure if that’s famous enough since he’s not a household name or anything but honorable mention at least.

    Kim Kardashian. She’s blowjob famous.

    The rest of the Kardashians and the Jenners are blowjob famous once removed.

      That was not accidental but entirely planned and orchestrated by her mom, though. Kris Jenner pimped out her family (not saying they’re victims or anything like that, I doubt they care about wrong and right) and now they’re swimming in money. 🤷

    DONT TOUCH MY PENIS.

    or any viral video (that was not recorded by the person themselves, since those are often people trying to be famous)

    Most of the scientists in TV during the pandemic. Don’t know for other countries but in Germany the 2-3 scientists constantly interviewed because there where experts in their fields definitely only where experts in their field and not seeking or wanting attention except for the topic, not for their persona.
