Depending on who you ask, Keith Calder is either a 35-year-old film producer who lives in LA,

or he's a player in a vast international conspiracy designed to conceal the greatest love story never told.

Both stories started at the same time in place. On Twitter, two years ago,

when a bunch of random teenagers started asking Keith if he had a sister.

At Keith Calder, do you have a sister and what is her name? Uh, Smiley, emoticon.

January 2013, at Keith Calder, do you have a sister?

Do you have a sister? Do you have a sister? Do you have a sister? Do you have a sister?

And don't just RT the shit and not answer my question, just tell me.

So, um, this went on, I'm scrolling down, it's hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of tweets.

For what is worth, Keith does have a sister. She works for an NGO in New York.

Keith couldn't imagine anything she would have done to provoke the attention of a crowd of online

strangers. And then I was realized something is up. Like, I don't know exactly what, but some things up,

I started doing some research and I realized that there was this woman, young woman,

called Eleanor Calder, and that she was dating a member of One Direction.

One Direction, of course, is the boy band of the moment. There's five of them.

One of them, Louis, has a girlfriend. A model named Eleanor Calder. Same last name is Keith.

So now it seems clear to Keith what's going on. Oh, they think that because my name is Calder,

that I must be related to the Selon Calder, they must think she's my sister.

Why would they just, I mean, there surely there are like a lot of Calder's in the world.

Right. What I later found out is that they've done this to many people called Calder.

I mean, not the only person.
