Everyone’s favourite narrator of Thomas The Tank Engine cartoons and apparently the drummer for some band called The Beatles has been honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. Starr’s name was the 2,401st to be unveiled on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at the ceremony on Monday night LA time, as it also celebrated the 50th anniversary of the commencement of construction on the footpath. “This is the start of the next 50 years of stars,” Starr said outside the Capitol Records building. “I’m proud to be the first one.”
He takes his place amongst former band mates John Lennon and George Harrison.”It’s cool to get one at night,” said the former Mr. Richard Starkey. “I don’t know about you, but where I live, the stars come out at night.” The Beatles as a group were awarded a star in 1998.
Also present for the unveiling were his actress-wife Barbara Bach, musicians Joe Walsh and Ben Harper, producer Don Was, director David Lynch and actor Noah Wyle. It is unclear as to which wooden acting performance he was receiving the star for, so we’ll assume all of them.
