The power of the internet and social media over the years has transformed (for better or worse) the access people have to their favorite celebrities.

Where you really only knew a famous person based on say their acting in a movie, you can now see them out and about in "real life" through their posts on Instagram or even message them directly on X. Sometimes, they might even reply.

And thanks to a platform called Cameo, you can get a personalized video from some of your favorite stars sent to you or someone you know, including some celebs who were born in Maine.

What Is Cameo?

According to its website, Cameo is "where you connect with your favorite stars" and get a memorable personalized message from them.

Cameo, which launched in 2017, really took off during the pandemic, when everyone was at home, looking for some positive messages, and these celebs and stars were looking for a revenue stream while things shut down, The Guardian reported.

That's right, Cameo messages aren't free. You've got to pay for them, and E! News lists the likes of Caitlyn Jenner ($2,500 for a video), Kevin Smith ($999 for a video), and Ice-T ($600 for a video) among some of the most expensive.

Which Maine Celebrities Are on Cameo?

If you were hoping to find some of Maine's most popular celebrities like Stephen King, Anna Kendrick or Patrick Dempsey, you're sadly out of luck.

They aren't on the platform as of 2024, but you never know, maybe in the future?

However, five Maine-born celebrities are on Cameo if you want to get a fun shout-out from them.

Timothy Simons on Cameo

The most expensive of the five is actor Timothy Simons, who you might recognize from "Veep" and "Don't Worry Darling." Simons was born in Readfield, Maine. You can get a video from him for $500.
