Role Model Tried to Claim Maine's Most Famous Celebrity Title and Stephen King Ended That Real Quick

Role Model walked into the final season premiere of“Chicken Shop Date”ready to make a bold claim, and Amelia Dimoldenberg was not about to let it slide. The singer, born Tucker Pillsbury, floated the idea that he might be Maine’s most famous celebrity, pointing out that Anna Kendrick also hails from the state. Then Dimoldenberg dropped the name Stephen King, and the energy in the room changed immediately.

To his credit, Role Model took it on the chin, admitting the legendary author has probably sold more stuff and got more money. Dimoldenberg’s reply was blunt: he’s not as successful as Stephen King, and that’s just a fact. He leaned into the mock heartbreak, but the truth is he’s having a moment. His album“Chuck Timely&The Hourglass”just became his first top 10 on the Billboard 200, moving 24,000 copies in its first week, per Luminate. The project also features a spoken-word contribution from his then-girlfriend Dakota Johnson.

So the Maine crown stays in Bangor for now, but Role Model’s chart run is just getting started. And the clip is already making the rounds online. Who do you think is the most famous celebrity from your home state? Drop it in the comments.
