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!

I'm being Jack Johnson. Surfing, family, millions in the bank from my successful singing career and hanging out on the beach in Hawaii every day.

Mossy, all day every day. I’ve been to a couple of parties with her - when she still partied - and she was luminously gorgeous, cool as fuck and seemingly a really lovely person.

This thread has really got me thinking, and I’ve realised that the only famous people I’ve ever envied/thought about being have been top sportspeople. I’ve watched them winning gold medals etc and just been in awe, from a young age, and I still am to some extent. All that training culminating in being recognised as the absolute best at something is a mind blowing achievement. It’s probably unbelievably shit at times, but I just can’t help wanting to be that person.

Haven’t got a particular individual in mind though. Maybe Jessica Ennis-Hill or someone else normal-seeming.

Ooh, or Steffi Graf.

Johnny Depp or Jason Isaacs
You know - just to have something nice to look at

Haha sorry I misread thought it said live with

I loved Kate Moss' Desert Island Discs. She was really very funny. Also JKR, getting to hang out with some amazing women.

Beat me to it!

Amazing life….if only I was as independently wealthy as she was!

Gertrude Bell, that is 🤦‍♀️

Ant or Dec or Holly Willoughby. People who don't have particularly arduous jobs but get paid a shit load and are well-liked purely because of their TV personas.

Julia Donaldson -she must be loaded.

kate winslet for being fabulous

Beats Kate Moss any day! (I'm looking for a camel emoji and failing).

Elizabeth Taylor

Lucy Worsley or Susannah Lipscombe - I'd love to be an entertaining tv historian.

Absolutely this!!!

Melissa McCarthy. Think she's hilarious, beautiful and I wish so much I could've been on Gilmore girls!

Someone like Cate Blanchett. Known for her talent as an actress but keeps a low profile and maintains a private life.

I think oprah or a royal so I could see what it was like

Years ago a friend of mine used to work for Industrial Light and Magic (Star Wars special effects dept) and he invited us to visit him at Skywalker Ranch where George Lucas both works and lives. Having experienced that place Id happily be George Lucas.

Kyle Richards of RHOBH

But then I'm shallow

Joanna Lumley

Susie Wolff

Nikolai tesla. Have always wondered what it would be like to be bona fide genius level smart.

Nobody. I would hate to be famous- I can't understand why so many people like the idea tbh!
