Sometimes we have people who became celebrities, sometimes on their own accord and effort but there are some unwittingly become one when they least expect it

Gary Brolsma: the Numa Numa Dancer - Brolsma first published his “Numa Numa Dance” on the Newgrounds site on December 6, 2004. Since then it has popped up on hundreds of other websites and blogs. Brolsma is reportedly not happy with his fame, although he has created tweaked versions of the video since it became popular. According to The New York Times, Brolsma has become an “unwilling and embarrassed Web celebrity.” Brolsma has stopped taking phone calls from the media


Ghyslain Raza: the Star Wars kid - Ghyslain Raza (born 1988), from Canada, became known throughout the Internet in May 2003 as the “Star Wars Kid” when a video clip he recorded of himself was leaked online. The tape was left forgotten in a basement for a few months. On or around April 19, 2003, the original owner of the videotape discovered Raza’s recorded acts and immediately shared it with some friends. Raza reportedly suffered considerable embarrassment, in part because the video showed him to be overweight, and not particularly graceful. The boy had to undergo therapy and counseling that began on October 12 and is currently still suffering chronic depression.

Péter Guzli: Tourist guy - The tourist guy, is an Internet phenomenon consisting of a photograph of a tourist (Péter Guzli). Soon after 9/11 an image showing a tourist on an observation deck of the World Trade Center while an airliner was about to hit the building beneath him circulated on the Internet. For a short while it was claimed that the picture came from a camera found in the debris at Ground Zero, but this proved to be untrue. The picture won a best 9/11 Photoshopped picture contest. The picture became one of the most widely known examples of Internet humor. As its fame spread, other people started to use the same tourist for other pictures. Guzli took the photo on November 28, 1997, and was also responsible for the initial edit. He edited the image for a few friends, not realizing it would spread so quickly across the Internet.
