Wouldn’t you love to be a famous? Money. Red carpets. Adoring fans. Did we mention the money? But you’re also on a tightrope. Because when everyone’s watching, you’re only one misstep away from it all going terribly wrong. It’s like Rihanna said: there's a long way to fall when you're so far from earth. Join hosts Anna Leong Brophy and Emily Lloyd-Saini in Wondery’s new show Terribly Famous, taking you right inside the lives of our most iconic stars. From homegrown diva Adele to the regular guys who make up the world’s biggest boyband. After all, it’s fun to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes – especially when they’re Manolos.
New episodes come out on Tuesdays for free. Listen to new episodes early and ad-free on Amazon Music or by subscribing to Wondery+ in Apple Podcasts or the Wondery app.
