What unlikely, yet oddly likely jobs would they each be doing in an alternate universe?
Emily Blunt: magazine editor.
Robert De Niro: therapist.
David Bowie: costume designer for the fake NASA lunar mission.
John Lennon would be alive.
Harrison Ford: Carpenter
I would have loved to see how John Lennon would have reacted to the Bush years, if they even would have happened at all in a universe where he still lived.
Weird Al would be an architect.
Kris Kristofferson would be a university professor. Heck, the dude was a Rhodes Scholar! In our universe anyway he was.
Stephen Colbert: Priest
Christopher Walken: manager of his family’s bakery
Keith Richards is retired, attends AA meetings and yells at kids to get off his lawn.
Surely Keith Richards is dead? And Amy Winehouse is alive?
Warren Ellis, in the Marvel Comic “New Universal”, posited a parallel earth where the Chinese had moon bases, and McCartney was assassinated instead of Lennon.
I’m thinking General Kristofferson is retired after a long and distinguished military career which included being commanding general of Fort Rucker and head of Army aviation. In our universe Kristofferson left the Army as a captain and helicopter pilot. His father was an Air Force general.
Natalie Portman would be Dr Hershlag, Neuroscientist.
I loved Chris Rock describing Tina Fey if SNL hadn’t existed: “She’d be the funniest professor at Drexel University!”
Bruce Willis - Police Officer / Detective
Shane MacGowan is a model known for being teetotaler with an amazing smile.
I learned a while back that alternate-universe Stephen Fry is the king of Albania.
Ha! And Nick Cave hosts a children’s show with fluffy bunnies and unicorns.
I want a live in a universe where John Lennon is alive…why I can’t? It ain’t fair.
Jim Morrison led a distinguished military career, just like his father, retiring with honors. He later became a distinguished poet, winning the Nobel Prize in Literature.
But he does tell kids to “keep off the grass.” On his lawn.
As Jeff Lynne notes in his song, “When I Was a Boy,” he would have been driving a milk delivery truck or a bread delivery truck in Birmingham.
