Is the top one Chris Moyles? Looks a bit like him. Can’t stand him, but good on him for changing his physique if it is him.

Next one - Churchill.

Fourth one - the Queen

I’m wrong on all three counts aren’t I?

Chris Moyles (I knew he'd lost some weight, so sort of cheating) Is the last one Shia Lebeouf? didn't he go around with a bag on his head for bit?

passport photo is David Essex.

I knew Moyles, HRH & Chaplin.

The old bloke in a pub is that bloke off the gardening programmes. Not Charlie 😉

How about these

"passport photo is David Essex."

It's not actually but most people think it is.

It's a mate of ours called Frank & he's not even famous!

(apart from being the spitting dab of David Essex when he was younger)

I got the first two, wouldn't have recognised JM if my life depended on it.

In that particular case, his name is in the URL for the photo.  You can also do a reverse image search with Google.

Not a household name exactly - but as children of the 70s and 80s we've all seen him naked. (Except when he was in the shower)
