Gordon Ramsay at Apple iPhone X Event?

[Jlm234]

Did anyone else catch this shot of the audience from Tuesday's iPhone X event? It looks like the famous chef, but I'm not totally sure. Can anyone confirm? And if it is, why is he at an Apple event?

 

[Marshall73]

Looked like him, he has been to keynotes before.

 

[0388631]

Yeah, IIRC he's a big investor in the company. The gentleman next to him is also an actor. I think that's Francis Jue.

 

[BittenApple]

He's a huge Apple fan as well.

Stephen Fry was there too

I did see Stephen Fry there as well. Also the guy with the head bowed down looks like the comedy writer Graham Linehan (Father Ted, IT Crowd, Black Books)

 

[D.T.]

Looks a good bit like him, but 99% sure it's not, the nose and hair are slightly wrong (this is my worthless superpower ... it's not 100% reliable ). Plus that's not his wife or daughters (and I don't think he's stepping out to a hugely public event with "someone else")

It's not him

 

[BittenApple]

It's not him

Looks like him.

 

[Apple_Robert]

Looks like him.

The guy strongly resembles Gordon but, that isn't Gordon. The guy in the picture is too young and has a thinner, smoother face than Gordon.

I'm fairly certain Disney/Pixar's John Lassiter was there, in his trademark Hawaiian shirt. That would make plenty of sense, considering the ties between Steve Jobs, Pixar, and Disney.

One way or the other, we can only expect more media celebs at these things in the future, considering Apple's moves into the content game.

 

[jeremysteele]

I don't think it is him, just someone that has a similar build. Ear is shaped different, looks younger, and nose looks different. The hair also looks thinner/wispier (and the part seems to be on the opposite side as he usually has it)

Who knows... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As others have said, Apple has invited celebs in the past and will continue to do so (even moreso) in the future.

 

[Solomani]

Are you sure it's not Ramsay Bolton?

After all, winter is coming.

 

[boswald]

If not him, a secret twin or best stand-in ever.

 

[Hexcruncher]

No.. It's Jay Blahnik, Apple's director of Fitness for Health Technologies.

You can also see him talking about Apple Watch here:

 

[Vjosullivan]

This is calling out for some sort of device that can identify people by looking at their faces.

Looks a good bit like him, but 99% sure it's not, the nose and hair are slightly wrong (this is my worthless superpower ... it's not 100% reliable ). Plus that's not his wife or daughters (and I don't think he's stepping out to a hugely public event with "someone else")

He looks too skinny imo but maybe he's. Been on a Hollywood diet recently.

Could be the mood lighting making him not look like him.
