The Five Coolest People To Have Been In A Past Life

By Andy David

When people talk about who they were in a past life, why is it always English, Roman or Egyptian royalty? Honestly, how many people do you think could be the reincarnation of Julius Cesar or Cleopatra? Don't you think at least a few people used to be plumbers or investment bankers or something boring like that? We all like to think we were somebody important, but you know, there are many different types of "important", and it's not like reincarnation is reserved solely for famous rulers from thousands of years ago. Here are five people wouldn't mind having been in a past life.

George S. Patton

Besides being a legendary general and a crazy sonofagun, Patton was also something of a poet, focusing on the concept of past lives in some of his work. Through a Glass, Darkly, is written from the perspective of a soldier who has fought and died in every major war, only to be reincarnated once more as a soldier. The idea of an immortal fighter, being reborn every generation or so to serve the common good, is an interesting one.

Elvis

There is probably nobody else in history who has inspired so many impersonators. There's literally an entire industry built around the idea of dressing, sounding and acting like The King. There's nothing these guys would love more than to hear from an expert that they are, in fact, The King, and that's exactly why they do it so well.

Benjamin Franklin

Without a doubt, the most eccentric of the founding fathers, Benjamin Franklin is most well known as an inventor of the lightning rod and the bifocals, but he's also remembered for all the crazy stories there are about him. The kite story is exaggerated, but based in reality. He also once talked a friend into joining the army so as to steal his fiancee, and he once electrocuted himself trying to roast a turkey with electricity. If you're the "Kramer" of your group of friends, who knows, maybe that's your face on the hundred dollar bill.

Audrey Hepburn

Sorry Cleopatra, but Audrey Hepburn is probably the greatest icon of grace and beauty, not to mention charm. With so many Queen Elizabeths and Catherine the Greats walking around, we wish Audrey Hepburn would hurry up and be born again already. The modern world just doesn't have a talent like hers.

Pro Wrestler Andre the Giant

Andre the Giant was crazy, and a lot of fun to be around. He was known to steal horse carriages and go on madcap races across town, and when he drank, there was nobody who could match him. If you're a fun drunk, maybe you were once a giant pro wrestler. Andre was one of those guys where, even though every story would end in a fight with the police, a beer can tossed at somebody's head or someone in the hospital, all of his friends remember him fondly, nonetheless. A real wildcat and a great guy.
