Endings Explained For I Used To Be Famous (2022): Does Vince choose fame over friendship?

I was once famous plot synopsis

I Used to Be Famous is about Vince, a former boy band member going through tough times, and Stevie, a young man with autism who is a good drummer.

When Vince sees how talented Stevie is, he befriends him and forms a band with him. When Vince is asked to tour with a successful former bandmate, he must choose between leaving Stevie behind for a second chance at fame, or supporting Stevie and maintaining their friendship.

So is Vince choosing to be famous over being friends? Let’s pay more attention to the film.

How did Vince and Stevie meet?

Vince’s music career ended when his boy band broke up, unlike that of his famous bandmate Austin. Vince is now playing music on the street to make money, but no one seems to like him or his music.

His luck changes when Stevie sits next to him on a bench and they make music together. Stevie uses the bench as drums and it’s clear he has drumming skills.

Because of Stevie, many people flock to her and use their cellphones to film the two musicians. Amber, Stevie’s mother, shows up and pulls him away, but Vince sees Stevie again when he sees him and his mother walking into a parish hall.

This is where he sees Stevie’s music therapy group for the first time and gets a second chance to see just how talented the teenager is. Vince’s music teacher Dia asks him to join them and he does. They all play drums together.

Vince later finds out that the videos of him and Stevie performing on the bench have gone viral. He uses this to get a gig at a local pub, but he hasn’t asked Stevie to play with him yet, so his next step is to get the boy’s OK.

Will the gig take place?

Vince goes to Stevie and Amber’s house and asks them to have tea and jam with them. Stevie is excited about the performance after telling them about it, but Amber worries for her son’s safety and doesn’t want Stevie to play in front of a large audience.

Vince and Amber fight and Stevie has a panic attack over it. Amber is impressed that Vince can calm him down by re-enacting the drum session from the music therapy group. Because of this, she agrees to the job on a whim.

Then Stevie and Vince practice their performance and Vince learns more about Stevie, his love of music and his desire to go to college for music.

The day of the gig arrives and Vince and Stevie take the stage after another act is over. Everything is going well and they both do a great job, but when Vince sings one song too many, some people in the crowd get restless. One man is particularly rude, making fun of the pots and pans Stevie uses as drums.

Vince gets angry and punches the man back. He and Stevie are then kicked out of the pub. When Austin, who was invited to the gig by Vince, sees his former bandmate get up from the street, that awkward moment gets even more awkward.

Vince tells Austin to leave, then checks on Stevie to make sure he’s okay. Unfortunately, Amber is very angry and tells Vince never to go near her son again.

Is Vince Stevie staying away?

Vince is sad to find out he can’t see Stevie, so he goes back home.

We learn a little more about Vince’s past here. He shows home videos of himself and his younger brother Ted and we can see the band they formed as kids. Then we find out through flashbacks that Ted died and that Vince didn’t come to his brother’s bedside because he had to be with his band.

Vince still feels bad about what happened, so he goes to his mom to ask about his brother’s harmonica. She tearfully tells him she has no idea where it is.

Stevie makes flyers for her band, The Tin Men, and books them a gig.

Stevie calls Vince and tells him the good news, but Vince doesn’t think they should go through with it because Amber is feeling. Stevie, on the other hand, asks Vince in a matter-of-fact manner to apologize to Amber for what happened, which Vince does when he sees her outside of the church.

After he apologizes, Amber is a little more open about his relationship with her son and all three go to music therapy group. Here Vince is asked to take the lead of the group because it is clear he can bond with the other students.

Vince considers the offer, but when Austin calls him later, he has to make another choice.

Why did Austin contact Vince?

After Austin sees a video of Vince and Stevie, he realizes that Vince still has what it takes to perform on stage, so he asks Vince if he’d like to play a few songs on his farewell tour.

Vince agrees and is excited about his second chance at fame. However, he is disappointed when Dennis, Austin’s producer, tells him that Stevie cannot perform with him.

Vince breaks the bad news to Stevie. The young man seems upset, but he tells Vince to try anyway because he might not get another chance at fame.

Does Vince choose fame over friendship?

While Vince ponders touring with Austin, Stevie practices his drums to prepare for music school.

Amber goes to Vince to thank him for helping her son learn about music and make friends. She also tells him to stay away from Stevie because she is afraid he will make false promises to her son.

You’d think that would make Vince leave Stevie and go on the farewell tour with Austin instead. Dennis later gives him a contract to sign, but he decides to use his second shot at fame for his friendship with Stevie instead of signing the contract.

On Stevie’s birthday, he and his mother see signposts on the road. The signs lead them to a small concert stage where, to their surprise, they find Vince. He sings a special song for Stevie and then invites him on stage, where they perform with other musicians, including people from the music therapy group.

The film ends shortly after, but it’s likely that Vince accepted the offered job as a teacher and remains friends with Stevie.

Why didn’t Vince take his second chance at fame?

Vince probably went back to Stevie because he didn’t show up for his brother before he died and didn’t want to miss this chance to help someone else who needed him.

Vince may also have realized that he didn’t need the approval of a crowd to feel good. Instead, it’s likely that Vince realized that friendship is all that matters and that he had what he (and she) needed in Stevie and his mother.
