Well, who'd have thunk it – Norman Cook (aka Fatboy Slim) and the UK Prime Minister, Keir Starmer went to school together, and indeed were in the same violin class.
We found this out over the weekend in an interview with Cook in the Observer. “I remember him well,” he told Sian Cain. “He must have been better at the violin than me, because I did it for about one term. It is quite weird when one day you see someone on the telly and go, ‘Oh look, it is Keir Starmer from 4B.’ I think he’s one up on me by becoming prime minister.” According to Cook they’re still on good terms: “We still talk.”
