Couldn't find the old thread on this.
I popped over to WeAreTheRangersBoys to see what there take was on Beale and stumbled on what looks like a definitive list of famous R's fans"
Right then, I only went and done it! Below is the list of names that have been mentioned above. Certain names mentioned were patently ridiculous and debunked in subsequent posts, eg Hugh Grant. Some are stretching the definition of "famous" but I left them in. Others were too imprecise eg "the one out of Eternal" so I left them out too. The list was compiled over 6 years so some are now dead or their fame has waned but irrespective of that I think they count as Famous Rs.
SEVEN esteemed posters separately answered with "Me" so maybe Michael Gove is actually a regular on here?
Lastly, Take any queries to Google - I really have no idea who half of them are. I've just listed 'em from above.

Vanessa Redgrave LOL - I doubt she even knows where we play. Toby Young is missing from that list, as is the gorgeous Xylo - there was a whole thread on her here recently. |
Vanessa Redgrave was a fan in the 1970s. | | | |

How do you know mate? I only ask, because old Nessie was an occasional visitor to our flat, along with her brother Corin, in the early 70s. My dear old mum, god bless her, along with my cousins (who were also actors), and the Redgrave siblings, were, at the time, members of the WRP and used to come over for meetings where they plotted to overthrow the system and replace it with a workers paradise. Or something. I was just a kid, but I still couldn't believe the crap they were talking, or that Vanessa could in any way represent the working class. She seemed about as far removed from the everyday concerns of normal life as I could imagine, and in no way would I have thought she'd be into football. But you never know. I certainly remember that she got my mum to drive her to Bristol once in our old mini van and didn't even offer her any money for petrol. So much for solidarity. Never liked her since. |  |

Michael Gove? Status questionable. |
I saw Gove after the Wigan game last month, I think his kids are QPR fans, he used to be Chelsea but started going about 10 years ago with his kids.
Matt Dickinson reporter from the Times is also QPR these days, again through his kids. |  | | |

I went on the QPR Podcast with him once, absolute character, held court in the pub afterwards with some amazing stories. Legendary bloke.
I thought I could drink until I met him. He was matching my Peroni's stride for stride with bottles of red wine. Never seen anything like it. I was in a thousand pieces at the end of the night, still no idea how I got home, woke up on the living room floor in my coat and my shoes, he was just carrying on as if nothing had happened. |  | | |

In one of the SpyCop Scandal trials a undercover copper revealed the methods for staying sober while their mark gets pissed.
Just saying! |  | | |

Just realised wendy James isn’t the one in Butterflies. Very disappointed that Wendy Craig probably isn’t a Ranger, after all. | | | |

Louis Theroux and Dominic West from The Wire have both attended our games. |
Many moons ago I was in the Wall of Sound box with amongst others Louie and Banksy. Neither are Rangers though, or at least they weren’t at the time. |  | | |

Denise Nolan had a season ticket in SAR and her seat was next to mine - never saw her though.
On an opposite note to this thread, I'm watching a re-run of 'The Singing Detective' and some may remember Michael Gambon trying to think of all things boring to try and suppress his libido when the nurse (Joanne Whalley) applied skin cream to his nether portions - along with 'Margaret Thatcher' one of the multiple words he uttered in despair was,(sadly) our favourite team.
He repeatedly failed to control himself.  |  | | |

Ohhh. If I remember, rightly, on the podcast, he was quite an odd guest. He kept bringing up some strange cases that were not relevant to QPR.. Must’ve been four/five years ago? |  | | |

Apparently there was a bloke called Beale that supported rangers Apparently but he can get a little confused. |  |

If I remember correctly, it wasn't "our favourite team" that he mentioned, it was "football on a plastic pitch at QPR." | | | |

Have we forgotten the well-intentioned fan, but ultimately disasterous former owner, who arguably started the decent into which we have been stuck for several years: Chris Wright?
Of the fictional fans, Tim Healy played a QPR fan living in Oz and working as a detective. Why they had to get a Geordie I'll never know.
Ironically I had returned to Manchester after a QPR game and was at a party when Healy walked in. Luckily he was as phished as I was when I bowled over to him and roared, 'You Rssss!'
Actually a really nice lad and we spent an inordinate amount of time talking about the Toon/Rs 5-5 and when we beat them up there 2-1 in '93. |  |

Ade Admendson was a chelsea season ticket holder but now supports Exeter City? I vaguely remember Suggs mentioning once that they had season ticket next to eachother at the bridge. The Bottom thing was Edmondson taking the mick out of QPR.

It was Joanne Whalley administering the cream to be fair to him  |  | | |
