The Great British Baking Show host talks celebrity encounters and connections

In a recent interview with The Times, "The Great British Baking Show" host reflected on his encounters with celebrities, sharing a funny story about a recent text he received from someone asking if he knew Kylie Jenner.

"I got a text last week asking, 'Do you know Kylie Jenner?' And honestly, I didn’t," he explained. "She posted a video watching 'Bake Off' on a private plane and told her 390 million followers that the show was her favorite. It’s wild when stars like Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Michael J. Fox, and Lynda Carter all claim to be big fans of the show. It’s crazy — for a show filmed in tents in the middle of the British countryside."

While he may not know Jenner personally, he has a closer relationship with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. Hollywood spoke about his connection with the couple, who selected him to star in a 2023 commercial for Lively’s cocktail brand, Betty Booze. "I’ve got a lot of time for Blake. She texts occasionally to catch up on what she and Ryan are up to," Hollywood shared. "They’re really nice people, just a normal family, mum and dad to some great kids."

Despite his close bond with Lively and Reynolds, Hollywood emphasized that he’s not one for celebrity circles. "I don’t have many celebrity friends, it’s not really my thing," he said. "I don’t go to red carpets, I don’t do the London parties. I don’t like London."
