My father is very well known in his scientific field. I never really thought twice about it as a kid. I got to do lots of cool things (field trips, nature tv shoots, etc.) and it was just the norm. I went to a convention with him when I was 21 and he was the keynote speaker, and I realized he was a rock star. Folks just loved meeting him. They brought his books to sign, asked for pics, etc. My dad is super humble and chill, so it was at that point I realized the greatness of my dad. He put his kids (and now his grandkids) on his shoulders so they could see the amazing world he got to experience because of his success.

My boss is a celebrity and her 5 year old kid is starting to realise something is up. He recently questioned why random people always ask her for photos and my boss told him that people were just being friendly. Since then he started asking people for selfies when he wants to be friendly, it’s cute.

My dad is a famous professional golfer and my godfather is in the golf hall of fame. I spent my entire childhood at golf courses. I was used to people at golf courses and even restaurants coming up to say hi to him, but I didn't really realise he was anything special until I was probably 7 or so. I told my friends I was going to be missing school for a week because I was going with my dad to the Uk for the British Open. It wasn't the first time I'd missed school, but I was finally at that age where it actually mattered if I missed school. Nothing really changed since none of my friends cared about golf. I never even learned to play golf so I stopped spending time at golf courses and it was easy to forget he was anything different.

Apparently my boyfriend's uncle is Steve Harris from Iron Maiden and me being a huge fan of Iron Maiden since I was like four? I had no clue he has a house in my country and walks around town in pink polos. Once I was walking with my boyfriend and I saw Steve Harris walking across the street and I freaked out and then my boyfriend told me "chill, he's my uncle" and calls him to introduce me. We've been dating for two years now and I'm still shook at family gatherings (especially my dad because he's also a huge iron maiden fanboy 😂)

My dad is famous in the Folk Music world and every now and then people will stop him to say hi or whatever. I wouldn't call him a celebrity, but he's certainly well known in the scene.
He's had a long career and I've been aware of it forever, but it doesn't really affect me too much in general day to day life. I have had some really incredible experiences because of it though!
My favourite thing by far is reading through the comments on his Facebook page. It could be a super trivial post about shoveling snow or mowing the lawn and yet without fail, someone will comment "There's a song in that!" It's hilarious.
Edit:
To those of you guessing, he has 3 Juno awards. That should be a decently revealing hint!

Bill Nye is my uncle, and it wasn't really until third grade that it sunk in for me that everyone else thinks it's incredible that they're now only 2 degrees of separation away from someone on TV. That was the year that we started watching his videos for science lessons.
And no I don't really like Saves the World. Based on his irl personality it's easy to see why the original Science Guy show worked; he genuinely loves explaining things. Explaining fundamental scientific ideas to little kids, in humorous and easy to understand ways, made for some great TV. This new show is full of assumptions and inane debating, like it's trying to "get" the "other side."
But he's a good person. If you've heard stories about him being a jerk they're probably true; strangers can get pretty unbearable sometimes.

I don't think my father, the inventor of **Toaster Strudel**, would be too pleased with me answering this question.

I went to a favorite local restaurant recently and our server was like 16, terrified, and on his first day of work. My friend ordered a burger. "How do you want that cooked?" asked the terrified server. "Medium" said my friend. The terrified server wrote it down. Then I ordered the Caesar salad with chicken. "How do you want that cooked?" Asked the terrified server.
"Fully?" I replied. He wrote that down.
Obsessed.
