If you could be famous, in what would it be?

[sportage]

In what area, media, or art form would you want to be famous?
Would you want the cheering crowds? The recognition without the crowds?
The paparazzi? The fans in your face? Or something less intrusive?

 

[BoomerD]

No thanks. I'd rather be infamous than famous.

 

[scorpmatt]

I'm fine with being an ordinary person. thanks.

 

[nakedfrog]

I don't think I'd prefer to be famous, that sounds like a lot of hassle.

 

[BudAshes]

Porn star.

 

[Red Squirrel]

I'd go with inventor, it would be cool to have some kind of recognition for making something, but it's also low key enough that I'm not going to have the paparazzi follow me every time I try to do groceries.

 

[SKORPI0]

Sci-Fi writer.

 

[MrSquished]

Writer or Painter - two beautiful creative professions that move the human spirit, but not usually in a paparazzi spotlight, unless you get on the level of Harry Potter novels and the such, so not that successful.

 

[biostud]

I have no interest in being famous, but I have been political active. And who knows what will happen once the kids grow older.

 

[Dr. Detroit]

Can I be one of Adam Sandler's besties?
Getting paid to do shitty movies in exotic locales with all my homies. Sign me up!

Zero desire to be a politician or lawyer. Medical shit creeps me out.

Painter would be OK, just hang out at galleries with my boy Hunter while snagging some blow from him and his ilk.

Screw being "famous".... what a nightmare that would be!

(all I want is the money!)


EDIT: Out of the OP's options, IMO the choice is pretty dang obvious!

Can you even play?

 

[sportage]

Myself I would chose singer or musician. It would be something to have a natural talent where people actually wanted to listen and pay you lots of money to sing or to play the piano. Then.... I'd become really rich, get into heavy drugs because now I could afford to, then ending it all by jumping off some 15 story hotel balcony in some podunk town in iOwa. Or Nebraska. Or North Dakota. Or, I could be like Liberace, screwing around then dying from some terminal disease.
And yet, it might be fun while it lasted.

 

[IronWing]

I want to be a famous scientist with my own constant with its own Greek letter. I want my constant to be a rational number as well.

 

[brianmanahan]

writing pomes

 

[lxskllr]

writing pomes

You're already famous for that!

What possible bearing does this have on a "fantasy" ROTFL?

I've had dreams of being Superman too but I can't fly or stop bullets!


*(FWIW I CAN read music and I play a little guitar.... quite badly I might add!)

 

[WelshBloke]

Arguing pointless shit on the internet!

No...?

 

[sdifox]

Why is there no loner option?

 

[snoopy7548]

I'd be an ATOT moderator.

Podunk towns in the Midwest are not generally known for their 15 story hotels.
