How Would The Giants of History Look Today?

Posted on October 28, 2015 by HistoricalHoney

This week we stumbled across an article in the Daily Mail which was quite brilliant! For a bit of fun we thought we would have a go and give the oldies a new lease of life…

History doesn’t always have to be serious, right!

Anne Bolyen

Ever wondered what Anne Boleyn would be doing today?

Why, dominating Hollywood and married to a movie star of course!

Jane Austen

Would Jane still be writing novels?

Of course she would! But perhaps of the more risqué kind. Don’t even pretend you wouldn’t want to read this…

Ned Kelly

Ever wondered if Ned would still be causing trouble?

Definitely! But only on the stage,  rocking it out and releasing a bit of that Irish spirit!

Napoleon Bonaparte

Would Napoleon still be a military man?

Maybe, but with his competitive nature he would have made a fine athlete. A jockey perhaps?

Emma, Lady Hamilton

As the small town girl who became the Mistress of Lord Nelson, would Emma have stayed on the top?

Absolutely, but she would’ve moved to the country, well, Orange County of course.

Alexander Graham Bell

Would Alexander still be inventing?

Of course he would, but he’s moved on from the humble telephone and is taking it to whole new levels!
