TODAY’S TOPIC
If you could spend 15 minutes with any celebrity who would it be and why?
I have to admit I'm not a big fan of any one classic celebrity "movie stars, musicians, tv celebrities and the like" so this was a hard one for me.
Being a typical Pieces and lover of any and all things related to the ocean however there was someone who entered my mind when mulling over this question. He might seem rather untraditional in the sense of celebrity but I think he's great.
It was Jacques Cousteau.

Of course it would be very difficult for me to meet with him for 15 minutes since he's been dead since the late 1990's. But since I like him so much I named him anyway..and it is my blog so I get to break a few rules now and then.
If you're not familiar with him he was a wonderful explorer, conservationist, filmmaker, scientist, photographer and author who studied the sea and the creatures living in it. Gosh I remember being a kid glued to his documentaries on T.V. What an amazing man he was!

That is an interesting choice. I found his shows interesting too back in the day.
ReplyDeleteI knew there was a reason I clicked with you - I am a Pieces too!
ReplyDeleteGreat choice! The man was amazing and the fact that he could share it with us, made him even more amazing.
ReplyDeleteI'd be right along side with you Jen! This man did incredible work and I would watch his programs on TV as well. Can you just imagine the adventure that would be?!
ReplyDeleteOMY,
ReplyDeleteI love that you picked Jacques Cousteau! This says much about your unique, unusual, interesting character, B.
I'd probably pick someone like Lady Gaga & interview her for my blog.

Fantastic choice Jen! I love that you didn't pick a Hollywood type. We have great respect for Jacques Cousteau. With my hubby being a SCUBA instdeuctor, we so appreciate Cousteau's contribution to the sport of modern diving. The word, "contribution" seems hardly enough. The man completely changed the way people dive. Nice post. Boy, do I wish I had time for this blog hop. looks like it will be a fun one! :-)
ReplyDeleteI like your pick! I think he would be much better to hang out with than the typical celebs. Imagine all the cool stuff he would show you. Very cool!
ReplyDeleteA great choice...in the world of Marine Biology/Explorer he was so much more than a celebrity. So, a Pieces, huh? Now you and I have another connection...I'm a Water Carrying Aquarian. Love It!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a fun Hop....wish I had time, too.

Good outside-the-box choice.
ReplyDeleteJacques Cousteau is a great choice! I bet he would have been a fascinating person to have lunch with.
ReplyDeleteHuge fan of JC! I actually did a formal 20 page report on him. He's AN AMAZING man!
ReplyDeleteHe would be awesome to spend 15 minutes with. All that he has seen and done...wonderful. I like breaking challenge rules...heehee
ReplyDeleteAn interesting choice. I loved watching his documentaries. He was so passionate. Lisa x
