If you could live the life of a famous person, who would you choose?

I was thinking about this last night and I think I would choose Kate Moss. I know she has had some turbulent times in her life but she also seems to have had so much fun and amazing experiences, let alone the riches and a seemingly sweet and beautiful child. She also seems like a very nice and well rounded person in all the interviews I've seen of her recently. Plus she has great taste!

JK Rowling, she’s just all round amazing and principled.

I don't understand what your AIBU is.

But yes to Jo Rowling, she's fucking legendary.

Kate Moss looks like one of those women who'd analyse you from head to toe as you walked into her sight and deem you as inferior.

As soon as I saw your title I thought - Kate Moss! However, I think that’s because I spent my teenage years idolising her. I think someone like Michelle Obama perhaps lives a more fulfilling life.

Melinda Gates. All the money in the world, very little aggro from the press, and a fulfilling mission in life.

before I read the op I said Kate Miss

whalleyt · 13/08/2022 11:40

Moss!

whalleyt · 13/08/2022 11:41

great career, seems down to earth, has had the same friends for years & I can't imagine any door being closed to her.

Jodie turner smith. stunning, talented, eloquent, smart, funny (and gets to sleep with Joshua Jackson)

Blake Lively.
Three beautiful children, own career, gorgeous, married to the Ryan bloke who's fit and seems to have gsoh. Swishy hair

Imissmoominmama · 13/08/2022 11:46

Jayne Goodall.

itrytomakemyway · 13/08/2022 11:47

Catherine the Great

In real life - maybe Yasmin Le Bon or Shirley Kemp. Both in long lasting marriages, both enjoying a wealthy lifestyle but don't seem to get too much press intrusion.

Jodie Foster. First saw her in Candleshoe (apparently 1977, just looked it up!). Loved her attitude, acting and obvious intelligence.

David Attenborough.i think he has an amazing time.
Although i feel a bit bad i havent thought of a woman.

He’s apparently very controlling. Not that that has anything to do with anything…!

Ryan Reynolds seems like a good guy but he is an absolute shit actor.

Yes! I would love to see through his eyes just for a day!

DoThePropeller · 13/08/2022 12:25

Blake Lively for me too, her life seems great and I love her clothes!

NannyOggsWhiskyStash · 13/08/2022 12:29

Alexa Chung, she seems to breeze through life looking fab and collecting hot boyfriends. Not sure what she actually does apart from that, but it looks fun.

Joanna Lumley

Ooops. Forgot to disable voting. Sorry or should I say, "Am I being unreasonable to want to live Kate Moss's fabulous life!?"😁.

Pippa Middleton, all the good bits of her sister's life without the press and public scrutiny

I came here to say this. She's my hero.

That's the vibe I get from her as well. She doesn't pass the 'would you want to go down the pub with them?' test for me.

Cat Deeley seems to have a nice life. Going between London and LA, two small children that we never see the faces of (which is the right way to do it IMO) and a supportive husband in Patrick Kielty.
