“Claim to Fame” is like Cluedo without the murder — so far, at least. Per Entertainment Weekly, each contestant offers “two falsehoods and a lie.” Then, every week, participants sift through the bluffs and true clues to determine their famous folk. Ten contestants are still standing. JR is one of them, and there’s a lot of speculation floating around the house that he’s got some serious sports running through his DNA.
ScreenRant reports that JR offered the info that his celeb connection is his brother, and he’s an NBA star. He later admitted that was a lie and said he’d thrown it out because people always tell him he looks like former Miami Heat baller Dwyane Wade. Contestants fell for the bluff, though, weighing up “evidence” such as JR’s big feet and his beard that’s like Philadelphia 76ers point guard James Harden’s — two attributes that are clear prerequisites for being an NBA relative.

JR’s epic fail at busting out with the hoop-shooting moves still wasn’t enough to throw his housemates off the scent. And when it was revealed that his hometown was Lithia Springs, Georgia, contestants settled on Wade, despite the fact that as a three-time NBA championship winner, he’s rarely missed a dunk, per ESPN. And he rarely sports a beard, aside from the occasional goatee. But, well, you know, he looks like he has big feet. Still, not so fast! It’s looking more and more likely that JR’s celeb connection isn’t sports or bushy-beard-related.
