James Kennedy had a very famous godfather, and he once talked about him on "Vanderpump Rules." Kennedy's father Andros Georgiou's childhood best friend was none other than future Wham! superstar George Michael, according to The Sun. Georgiou and Michael considered themselves "cousins," the outlet noted. Georgiou also became the managing director of Michael's record label Aegean Records, so perhaps it was a no-brainer for him to name the "Careless Whisper" singer as the godfather of his firstborn son, James, in 1992.
In an interview with The Daily Dish, Kennedy revealed that he referred to his famous godfather as an uncle. "He was just Uncle George and [he'd] pop me on his lap and stuff like that," Kennedy dished. "He was a family member and was there when we were growing up, so it was two sides, I guess. His music changed the world, but he also was just a normal, beautiful person at home."
In an interview with The Sun, Kennedy said his famous godfather, who was also the godfather of his brother Harry, brought him "the best presents," such as a rocking horse and an oversized stuffed Barney dinosaur toy. "He was like a second dad," Kennedy said of Michael. "It was always fun when George was there." Unfortunately, Michael died at his home on Christmas Day in 2016 at age 53 of natural causes, per BBC News.
