25? Really?[edit]

Really? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4EV1 (talk • contribs) 21:34, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not Jewish[edit]

In a recent article in the observer magazine he specifically commented on how people often assume he is jewish. --46.208.66.52 (talk) 20:38, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Link please? He does look like he is Jewish. Not that I have anything against Jews, but he does look like he is, especially compared to the other guys in The Inbetweeners who look much more 'typically' ordinary white English guys.--Q-Jux Q-Jux Q-Jux (talk) 23:42, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

He isn't Jewish. This is even stated in the Wikipedia article, for some reason, and cited. All Hallow's Wraith (talk) 05:18, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Gay?[edit]

From what I understand, Simon isn't gay. As noted in an interview on E4 (also on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=by63_jJBlVw&NR=1, indicating he was dating a girl called Lisa at the time of the interview. I can't seem to edit the article to remove the reference.--Hecmail (talk) 16:00, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Someone did the same to the Joe Thomas page a little while ago. I'll try and reverse the edit. 129.67.176.186 (talk) 20:12, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation page[edit]

Someway to distinguish him from this Simon Bird, perhaps? VarunRajendran (talk)

This one wouldn't currently pass WP:NMUSIC so we don't need a disamb page. If that changes then we will. Manning (talk) 07:48, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Children[edit]

I've removed the part of the article about his daughter and the infobox saying 2 children, as I have been unable to prove either of these things. Many sources (including such verboten nonsense as the Mail and the Sun, but other more reliable sources too) say he had a son who was six months old in July 2016. The Grauniad says he had a daughter in December 2015. The Graun includes a quote from him saying he has a daughter... but in a jokey tone.

I can't find any source saying he has two children (perhaps this is from someone adding the Graun's daughter and the Sun's son and getting two).

Since this is a BLP, our policy is "if in doubt, leave it out". So I've left it out. ◦ Trey Maturin 16:43, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Found an interview with the i Paper from 2020, describing him as a father of two. (https://inews.co.uk/culture/simon-bird-interview-days-of-the-bagnold-summer-release-date-book-the-inbetweeners-433875) Samuel J Walker (talk) 22:28, 26 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
