Well, it seems it is no longer enough to just appear in the odd blockbuster, do an artsy indie film with a fake nose and win an Oscar for your times spent under hot lights with prosthetics melting off your face. Now if you want to be taken seriously as a proper celebrity you have to save a life. Mila Kunis will stop you from swallowing your tongue. Dustin Hoffman will dial 3 life-saving digits for you on your morning jog. Ryan Gosling goes further and will literally save you from being run over by a car. Literally. He will actually do that. The Squeamish team had a think and decided which celebrity they would like to save them…
1. Squeamish Nicola opts for the calm and collected Keanu Reeves and some well thought out scenarios - I'd like to be saved by Keanu Reeves, because he can talk to me in a calm and steady monotone voice while he tries to talk me down from a ledge, or stop me from panicking while trapped down an abandoned well. I'd look into his dark brown eyes knowing those kind eyes will be inherited by my yet to be conceived children. The thought of having a future conceiving Keanu's offspring would be the incentive needed to keep me truckin' on.
2. Newcomer Chris has equally well thought out visions of his saviour - For me it would be Bill Murray - he'd do it in a dry, sardonic way and call me a 'crazy kid' in that insouciant way of his. Then we'd go for whiskey and listen to Talking Heads.
3. Gareth has made his mind up - This is easy, Robert Downey Jr. Why? Because he's Iron Man. No seriously he is! It is literally impossible to tell whether a picture is of Robert Downey Jr or Tony Stark. Logically this can only mean that they are the same person.
4. Squeamish Louise wants a man not a muppet - Which celebrity do I want to rescue me from impending death? I think I'd go for Jason Segel as he looks big enough to look out for/ deflect danger - but he's also so sweet I totally think we would be friends. Yes, my vote is definitely with Jason Segel. I am not even sure why, beyond the fact I just think we'd get on if we met, and who doesn't want to go for a beer with the person who's just saved their life?!
5. F1 Kate took the question a little too literally - But I don't want a celebrity to save my life! I'd much rather be rescued by a trained medical professional. Luckily, there's an F1 medical celebrity, so I'll pick him: Professor Sid Watkins.
