A few names have been bounded around with hushed tones, as people suspect cross stitch is not only cool but celebrity cool. Well, I’m here to tell you it is. Not only is it super cool, but some of its fans might just surprise you.

Harrison Ford

Recently (2023) Harrison Ford had the honor of having a snake named after him. Whilst he loved it, he was a little concerned by all the creepy crawlies being named after him. And that’s when he told the Conservation International his hobbies include singing to his basil plants and cross stitching!

“These scientists keep naming critters after me, but it’s always the ones that terrify children, I don’t understand. I spend my free time cross stitching. I sing lullabies to my basil plants, so they won’t fear the night.”
Harrison Ford

No news on what he stitches though! I’m guessing not snakes…

Thor/Chris Hemsworth

Yeh, that’s right; Thor. Well, Chris Hemsworth who plays Thor… Apparently, the only thing that interested him as a kid was cross stitch. Like long stitcher. Maybe he’s reading now… Chris?

Harry Judd

Known from his time in McFly, Harry can be seen cross stitching in Celebrity Race Across The World from 2023. He picked up the hobby on his travel, and has apparently not been about to give it up since!
Oh, we know all about how addictive it is Harry!
 

Judi Dench

We haven’t just put those two images together randomly either. Judi Dench, devoted cross stitcher decided to offer some of her stitchings to her Pride and Prejudice co-stars Keira Knightley and Matthew MacFadyen, specifically “You’re a c*nt” and “You Are a F*cking Sh*t”. No word on if Keira or Matthew put them up in their homes…
 

Miranda Richardson

The star has been known to cross stitch in a few films, including that of Black Adder and Young Victoria. Taking a few ques from Judi she stitched rude words into hankies. No word on if they cross stitch together or not.

Rosey Grier

Jumping back to the 1970s, the American Football player Rosey Grier not only admitted to cross stitching on a regular basis but even brought out a rather good book showing that men really do cross stitch!

Henry Fonda

Yeh, film legend Henry Fonda. Turns out that cross stitching between shoots is old hat! Credited with over 100 movies, Henry stitched throughout the 60s and 70s, but it wasn’t until his twilight years that cross stitch really became important when he would stitch when he was recharging his pacemaker (yeh, you used to have to charge them up).

Marge Simpson

OK, Marge isn’t technically real, but she cross stitches all the same! We love you, Lenny!
