One of the things I really liked about The Sky at Night (UK TV programme) was they occasionally had Brian May on as a guest.
And Patrick Moore would just refer to him as "Doctor May" and would just talk astronomy, never even referring to the fact he was the guitarist in one of the most famous rock bands in the world.

Did you know of Doctor May's other career when you were watching him on the show?
Makes you wonder how many seemingly nondescript people on shows and podcasts are actually superstars in some unrelated field.
Not exactly non descript but Bruce Dickinson, lead singer of heavy metal band Iron Maiden sidelined as a commercial pilot for a charter airline.

Also an accomplished fencer; the article mentions he's done fairly well in European tournaments!
If you ever flew KLM, your pilot might've been the king.
