A British dude got so drunk he legally changed his name to Céline Dion

The love that Céline Dion fans have for their Canadian songstress knows no bounds and this is best exemplified by one British fan who got so piss-wrecked that he legally changed his name to honour the crooner.

Christmas this year was hard for everyone but it was particularly grim for those living in the UK, who were forced to celebrate the jolly season under Tier 4 restrictions.

Instead of leaning into the bleakness of it all, UK hospitality worker Thomas Dodd did what he needed to do to keep spirits high — down wine like it’s going out of fashion and indulge in a Céline Dion Christmas Special.

Dodd was so moved by the performance that in an act of drunken bravery, he plonked himself by the computer and forked out £89 to legally change his name to Céline Dion. The real kicker is, he completely forgot that he did it.

“She [is] my go-to person I listen to when I need cheering up,” Dion née Todd told the New York Post.

“I honestly, hand on heart, don’t remember doing it!” he said. “I remember watching the concert and remember getting rather tipsy.”

Todd went on to detail that he was completely oblivious to the fact that he was now going through life as Céline until the change of name deed arrived in the mail.

“I wasn’t aware I had done it until I found that envelope in my post,” he explained. “Initially, I had to sit down as I couldn’t believe it — so I then checked my bank which confirmed it all.”

I think it’s safe to say that most of us would’ve hopped straight on the dog and bone and attempted to rectify any intoxicated name changing, but Todd committed to the bit, admitting that he “signed it straightaway.”
