About This Quiz

At some time or another, we've all fantasized about what it would be like to have a different gender than the one we were born with. If you're a lady, you've probably wondered what it would be like to inhabit a male body, speculating about how you'd do your hair, the type of suits you'd wear or which sports you'd play. Even more interesting would be the experience of living as a male celebrity. Would you act in indie movies or comic book adaptations? When dating, would you pick fellow celebs or have a refreshingly normal spouse? When you needed to unwind, would you play in an ill-advised rock band or spend your leisure time partying on yachts like Leo?

In this quiz, we're helping you live that dream! We're going to ask you how you'd live if you were a famous guy, questioning you about everything from the silly names you'd give your kids to the first vanity project you'd deign to direct. Along the way, we're going to glean valuable information about your emotions, feelings and tastes, from your loves and hates to your favorite authors.

By the end of the quiz, we'll be able to tell you which male celebrity embodies your personality. Are you ready for a wild ride? Let's get started!

You're asked to do a nude scene by a celebrated art house director, such as Lars von Trier or Wes Anderson. Do you say yes or no?

I'd talk about changing my baby's diapers (even though we actually have a nanny).

I'd share a tale about getting passed over for a good part in my youth (because it would never happen now).
I'd joke about my failure with a common household task, such as slicing bagels (even though my assistant does that for me).

"This American Life"

I'd age horribly but it wouldn't affect my career as a comedian.

Barbara Walters is forcing you to tell your biggest secrets to her on live TV. Which "dark secret" would you confess?

As a teen star, I wasn't as squeaky-clean and moral as the public thought I was.

I still regret my first divorce. I let fame go to my head and it ruined my marriage.
People think I'm so confident but actually, I totally have social anxiety.

I act funny and lighthearted for a living, but I'm a huge workaholic.

Would you enjoy being a celebrity, or would you sometimes wish that you could go back to being a regular person?

I'd sometimes be annoyed by my inability to go out without getting mobbed, but overall, I'd be happy.

I'd yearn for a "regular" life while recognizing that fame is the price you pay for doing your dream job.
