Their wealth, fame and power put them head and shoulders above us ordinary people. But according to these celebrities（名人）, true happiness lies in some of life’s simpler pleasures.
David Cameron, Ed Miliband and Nigel Farage all claim that their families are the key to their wellbeing.
But others gave unexpected brief ideas about their celebrity lives. The Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson, 55, revealed that what most keeps her spirits high is a belief in magic and fairies. She said: “I do believe in fairies. I do believe in magic and when you blow on a dandelion（蒲公英）, you will see the light of the enchanted（被施魔法的）spreading their wings and disappearing off on their own journeys, just like you have today when you opened your eyes. Don’t let the day go by without looking for fairies and magic. That makes me happy, as every day is, therefore, a day of exploration and adventure.”
Meanwhile, former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney, 72, revealed that he gets his pleasure through his stomach as well as his family. He said: ‘I love to hear the noises in the kitchen as the meal is prepared and then my little grandson climbs on my knee and requests a bite for every bite that I take.’
Food was also key to Strictly Come Dancing judge Len Goodman, 70, who said ‘eating a bacon sandwich’ was enough to put a smile on his face, while rocker Rod Stewart, claimed that a simple cup of tea made him ‘uncontrollably happy.’
For our most gifted sports stars, however, it seems the key to the good life is a faithful hound.
Tennis champion Andy Murray, 27, said he badly misses Rusty and Maggie May when he is playing in tournaments around the world. Former England striker Gary Lineker, 53, agreed, saying: ‘Walking my dog makes me happy. The joy at the word “walkies” never diminishes. Such enthusiasm for something so simple is strangely satisfying.’
