Do You Think Are They Related?

Gfb has trawled the records of literally people and discovered some amazing connections which will truly astound you.

So without further ado – ARE THESE PEOPLE RELATED?

Michael Collins and Jackie Collins.

He was the gorgeous face of Republicanism a man who took on and defeated the British Empire, went out with Julia Roberts. And then got shot.

She is the Queen of the Bonkbuster, sister of Joan and can write big words as well as little ones. Her new novel “A Woman Off Substances” is out this week.

Did you know that the Irish Constitution has a torrid sex scene in it (halfway down page 3 after voting rights for non domiciles) involving a woman called Lucky Chance and a hairy chested rock musician called Stryker Malone.

Did Big Mick ask Jackie C to write this section as he thought a bit of rumpy pumpy would lighten the spirits of repressed Catholics across the land? If true, it proves they were related. Uncanny isn’t it!

 Emile Zola and Gianfranco Zola

He is the great French novelist, whose works include The Earth, Germinal, Therese Raquin, Tin Tin, Asterix, the screenplay of Amelie and the words to Frere Jacques.

Don’t Make Emile Of It!

He is the impish Italian footballer who hopped, skipped and sashayed his way into our hearts with his tricks, flicks and pixie loveliness. His bestselling book “I  is from Sardinia and I like the Sardines,” is a great guide to cooking sardines.

 

He’s Only Little!

Did You Know!

Emile Zola invented the penalty spot and centre circle on a football pitch. He wrote, “On Mon Tete Son,” the first published account of a French writer’s lover affair avec le beautiful game.

If true it is Uncanny! Were they related? You Decide!

 

Jane Austen and Steve Austin (close enough for the pedants out there!)

She is arguably the greatest Romantic novelist in the English Language.

Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Sense and Sensibility – all great reads. Rollicking even. 

 

He was barely alive. We rebuilt him. He could run so fast it looked like he was in slow motion. His wig never came off too!

With his bionic eye he could see for yonks (once spotting Jane Eyre as she was leaving Mr Rochester some two hundred miles away).

 

“Wooden?”

Did You Know?

In the early drafts of Pride and Prejudice, Mr D’Arcy was depicted as a half man half robot with earwax build up.  And the cad Mr Wickham was an astronaut who wrote mournful poetry!

The pilot show for The Six Million Dollar Man, depicted Lee Majors character as a 19th Century Dandy! A Fop if you will! Sadly this ended up on the cutting room floor.

Can they be related? You Decide!
