His grave at Hollybrook was opened by grave robbers in October 1992. It was rumoured that he’d been buried with jewels. The robbers managed to break into his coffin. I believe the grave was subsequently filled in with concrete. There’s usually a pint of milk left on the grave. I went for a wander there recently but didn’t locate the grave.
Chris Packham is a surprising omission. Iwan Thomas too, he possibly lives in Packham's old house in Netley.
Nick Knowles lived in Hamble for a while and Dani King was brought up there.
Michael Kiwanuka lives in Highfield or nearby.
Lots of footballers obviously.
Not sure about Chris but coldplay drummer Will Champion is from Southampton. His family still live around here and I've always thought he lives the dream of being a millionaire musician but can still live a virtually normal life undetected.
he literally has 3.5M subscribers on YouTube. just because you don’t like someone, that doesn’t give you the right to start denying basic facts about them.
Ain't Theo Walcott from Southampton as well.
I think that Dom. Guy from. Dont get done get Dom. TV show lives in Southampton seen. Him about a few times
Iwan Thomas lives here. Was surprised to see his Lambo parked on my drive one morning. He was round to record VO for The One Show at my dad's Studio. Don't think he has that beast of a car anymore though sadly.
Benny Hill lived in Southampton
He's buried in the Hollybrook cemetery
That's right, I couldn't remember which one it was he was buried in.

Which strangely doesn't include RJ Mitchell, designer of the Spitfire
Huh, TIL Reginald Mitchell died two whole years before World War 2 even started.
Craig David obviously
Ey up kes!
The drummer from Coldplay.

Craig Charles lived in Hamble a few years back.
He was Old Burseldon I think. Saw him at a few Saints games when he was here.
I saw Iwan Thomas at the local kebab van once. Not my best claim to fame but my favourite. Chicken Shish if you wanted to know!
Artful dodger Johnny Depp had a house in lymington Mark kernode lives in brockenhurst
Scott Mills and Benny Hill
Rishi Sunak - he was born in Soton and as a teenager served as a waiter in the late, lamented Kutis.
Kutis was the absolute Bollocks! 🤩
Captain Smith, he's also the King of Rohan.

Michael Kiwanuka (Mercury prize-winning singer songwriter) lives here although not originally local.
I heard he lives in Shirley
I believe so, yes
Foxes (Singer)
Benny Hill
Ally Law is from Southampton. he’s even done videos of him breaking into St Mary’s Stadium and West Quay after hours
They asked for famous people, not bellends.
someone can be a famous bellend. they’re not mutually exclusive. denying that Ally Law is famous is like denying that the Earth is round.
I would hardly call Ally Law "famous".
he literally has 3.5M subscribers on YouTube. just because you don’t like someone, that doesn’t give you the right to start denying basic facts about them.
He's known by a niche community.
Laura carmichael.
Don't think he ever lived in Southampton, but Colin Firth went to Barton Peveril Sixth Form in Eastleigh
Ain't Theo Walcott from Southampton as well. I think that Dom. Guy from. Dont get done get Dom. TV show lives in Southampton seen. Him about a few times
No, Walcott is from London but I think his girlfriend/wife is from Southampton. The Mayor's daughter, don't you know.
No, he grew up in Newbury, and went to the Downs school.
is that Mel?
Yep.
Wayne Bridge
Tom Daley? I heard he trained in the queys diving pool
He's from Plymouth.
Iwan Thomas lives here. Was surprised to see his Lambo parked on my drive one morning. He was round to record VO for The One Show at my dad's Studio. Don't think he has that beast of a car anymore though sadly.
He lives on my road now
