According to home insurer LV=, Tom Felton tops the list of British celebrities who share personal information online.
Home insurer LV= commissioned experts to analyze the tweets of the ‘most followed’ British celebrities for a month. Each celebrity was then assigned a ‘risk score’ based on the number of times they divulged their location or personal information when tweeting. According to the study, Tom Felton revealed the most personal information to his fans of all celebrities analyzed.
The top celebrity tweeters, starting with the ones who revealed the most personal information, is as follows:
1. Tom Felton (TomFelton) – Actor
2. Calvin Harris (calvinharris) – Musician
3. Fearne Cotton (Fearnecotton) – Television presenter
4. Davina McCall (ThisisDavina) – Television presenter
5. Jonathan Ross (Wossy) – Television presenter
6. Jimmy Carr (jimmycarr) – Comedian
7. Jamie Oliver (jamie_oliver) – TV chef
8. Aled Haydn Jones (ahj) – Radio producer
9. Phillip Schofield (Schofe) – Television presenter
10. Noush Skaugen (noushskaugen) – Singer/songwriter
LV=, the home insurance company, makes the point that if you announce that you are away from home online, crafty criminals have a better opportunity to “burgle” your home when you’re gone.
Although Tom may indeed frequently reveal his location to fans online, it is usually to let people know of an event he will attend in order to publicize it and give fans an opportunity to meet or see him. He also reveals lots of other personal tidbits – though I’m not sure how his love of chocolate chip pancakes could be used against him.
But of course, Tom’s open and friendly personality, and the fun insights into his life that he shares on Twitter, is why he has a quarter of a million followers.
This is totally a real photo.
So, let me take this opportunity to address any crafty criminals who happen to be reading this blog:
Don’t even bother, because Tom has a home security set-up that could rival Fort Knox: with a Mission-Impossible-style laser movement detection system, really buff armed guards who look like Mr. T, a highly-trained guard dog named Timber, a huge moat (filled with piranhas and sharks with laser beams!) and albino peacocks.
Oh yeah, and while I have your attention, give him back his damned guitar.
[New Post] Hey crafty criminals, please do not burgle @TomFelton! kthxbye http://feltbeats.com/2010/05/31/please-d…
@FanGirlLA Put a curse on them? I was trying to keep it realistic. 😉 Yes, vote drill time!!!
i was just about to say “wow i have no idea who any of those other celebs are”… but hello jessica! they’re British! and i am a huge fan of his moat. and the body guards.
and did you see the tweet where the guitar company asked Tom how they could help him get it back?
@feltbeats Oh my god! Serious?! Btw- Love the Austin Power ref 😉 made my night!
aw poor Tom. I hope he gets his guitar back!
Haha, no I didn’t see that. How cute of them! They should just give him one, that’s how they could him. I’m sure his one tweet alone brought them a ton of publicity. =)
Yes! Sharks with frickin laser beams! I want one! 😀
Just why? Why steal Tom’s guitar? WHY?
:'[ The thought makes me sad.
If I had money… I would buy him a new one :] And mail it to him even though I don’t know where he lives <3
@feltbeats you forgot that he will put a curse on them
@feltbeats so how are we going to collect enough money to get Tom a new guitar.
@feltbeats I’ve never heard of the word burgle til today. @TomFelton is giving us vocab lessons now; my English teacher would be so proud.:)
@feltbeats The message for the criminals is TOTALLY AWESOME! And the:”a highly-trained guard dog named Timber” part…just kills me! LOL 🙂
I was thinking that they could replace his too! 🙂 this was the tweet: gibsonlondon
Which Gibson guitar was it Tom & how can we help you get it back? RT@TomFelton its a sad day.My @gibsonlondon has been stolen 🙁 so sad!!
Should we make sure he sees it?
Yes! I will e-mail him and make sure he sees it! It is nice of them to ask. =)
You’d think, being the celebrity who reveals the most personal information online, that everyone would know where he lives!
Maybe he doesn’t reveals so much information after all? =) What’s a burglar to do?!
You should. It was very nice of them & that really sucks to have stuff stolen. Once my purse was stolen & it was so crappy!!! I wish someone had replaced my camera!
Me too! Let’s look for one in Orlando.
Anon is me 🙂
Oh that was me 🙂
I agree. How can you burgle someone if you don’t know where they live?
Good point.
However, it’s true than Thomas will have to be more careful with the personal informations he’s disclosing on-line into the future, at some point.
But he certainly must have been observed during some time as well, before discovering he’s got this unwanted visitor. That’s what burglars usually do.
I sincerely wish he’ll get his guitar replaced soon, I was quite upset about it yesterday!
With Love,
Sam.
If I wanted to turn up at Tom’s house I could already have done so. I have all the information I need. And I’m a foreigner!
Just because people don’t do things doesn’t mean they can’t.
(Don’t intend to brag, just throw in some objection!)
Where was his guitar stolen? It couldn’t of been at his home, they would of taken more than that. It will probably turn up for sale on Ebay some day. I agree he should be more careful when he reveals information about himself. As his popularity rises unfortunately the more secretive he must become for his own safety.
Tom is SUPER!! so is this article LOL ;D
EHST?!? His guitar? Slright, Sean Conary, put your 007 suit back on, we’ve got some burglers to smite!
blah, typoes, *what and *alright
awwwwww i understand how special his guitar must be to him cuz i am in love with my guitar and i would die if someone stole it. He probably feels even worse cuz he’s had his longer than me 🙁 Poor Tom <3
