These 5 celebrities may already have reached fame thanks to their own talents and personality, but they also aspire to be like someone else who is an inspirational source for them. Some admire how other stars are when it comes to performing or taking to the stage – the great confidence they possess – while others admire the way they compose themselves in everyday life. From being a good mother to a success in business or just a nice all-round, welcoming person, there are plenty of reasons why these 5 celebrities have picked on others to try and improve themselves.
Beyonce
Beyonce wants to be like pal Gwyneth Paltrow because she pushes herself to be amazing and does her best in everything which is what Beyonce wants to be like: “She pushes her boundaries all the time. You go to her house and she makes you feel like you never want to go home. She is what I strive to be one day.”
Penelope Cruz
Penelope wants to age as gracefully as Sophia Loren and also loves the stories the legendary actress always has to tell: “Age holds absolutely no fear for me. There is so much enjoyment ahead. Sophia is 74 and amazing – every time I talk to her, she’s full of wonderful stories about old actors.”
Miley Cyrus
Miley wants to be like Beyonce because everyone thinks of her as a superstar: “I want to be like Beyonce. She is the ultimate woman. You look at her and you don’t think, I wonder what her personal life is like. You look at her and you go, That girl on the stage is a superstar. You don’t care about anything else; you only care about her music. So I would hope that would be me in the future.”
Eva Longoria
Eva aspires to be like her close friend Victoria Beckham because she is an amazing mother and wife, but also able to balance that with a great career: “It’s really interesting the camaraderie that athletes’ wives have, because they understand the schedule, the travelling and the distance. Victoria and I are in similar situations when it comes to our husbands. I admire the wife and mother that she is and, at the same time, this glamorous and beautiful businesswoman. That’s what I aspire to be.”
Blake Lively
Blake says that her red carpet nerves often get the better of her so she pretends she’s Marilyn Monroe: ”I have insecurities like any girl. I used to be really shy and unconfident. I hated being tall. Walking the red carpet is scary, so I pretend to be Marilyn Monroe – someone who owned their sexuality and projected this incredible aura of self-confidence.”
