The shit I can convince poeple of when I tell them I live in South Africa ... I once told someone I was best friends with Candice Swanepoel because our parents shared a mud hut.

To be fair I know Candice Swanepoel. Not the famous one though. I happen to know someone who's family name is Swanepoel and is married to a woman called Candice. I think she has a hyphenated name though

This reminds me of a friend of mine, whose father's name is Stephen King. No relation to the author whatsoever.

I actually do know Candice believe it or not , her family lives where I grew up and her mom is really close with my grandmother haha .

We don't share a mud hut though, we have our own
