We have heard tales of people doing outrageous things when they have had one drink too many. But one man has just gone on to do something ridiculous. What exactly? Well, in a drunken state he decided to change his name to Celine Dion.
The man?formerly?known as Thomas Dodd, who is a huge fan of Celine Dion,?said he got too drunk while watching one of the Canadian singer's?performances?over Christmas and reckons that must have been when his tipsy brain came up?with?the idea.
Celine, 30 from UK's?Staffordshire, says his mother did not see the funny side and his sister was equally shocked - but despite their reaction, he's got every plan to stick to his new name.?
The name change cost just ?89 ($120), so Celine also bought himself certification to prove his is not mugging about and that his new moniker is legit, should anyone question it.
And now that he is sober, Celine sees the funny side.
He told Birmingham Live:?"I am slightly obsessed with her;?I'm not going to lie.
"During lockdown I've been watching a lot of live concerts on the TV. I can only think I've been watching one of hers and had a 'great idea' after a few drinks.
"I walked in from work and there was a big white envelope with 'do not bend' written across it. I nearly passed out in my kitchen when I opened it.
"My initial concern was how on earth do I tell the HR department at work that I need to change my email footer?
Well, there aren't many things we don't regret after getting drunk, but at least the lad is sticking to his new identity, so to say. Let's hope he can be at least half as successful as the original?Celine Dion.?
