Famous People Enjoy Ice Cream

Many people all over the world love ice cream so it should come as no surprise that amongst them are some very famous faces. Quite a number of famous people have been known to love ice cream including US Presidents Benjamin Franklin, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.


Former British Prime Minister Baroness Margaret Thatcher also has an interesting connection with ice cream. She was part of a 1950's research team working for a British ice cream manufacturer looking into ways in which ice cream manufacture could be improved and be made more profitable. The team came up with the idea of adding more air into the ice cream which meant that manufacturers would use less ingredients to produce the same amount thus increasing profitability. It wasn't just the ice cream makers that benefited though because the ice cream produced became really popular - a soft serve ice cream which the public loved the texture of.

Bill Gates, Co-founder of Microsoft and possibly the world's most generous philanthropist is reported to occasionally stop for an ice cream bar when travelling from Redmond (Washington) over Rose Hill. There's an interesting anecdote about Microsoft Employees who were treated to free ice cream back in 1990 courtesy of a computer store chain. It was apparently following the shipment of Windows 3.0 which proved a massive success that Egghead (computer store chain) is believed to have sent trucks with free ice cream over to Microsoft's offices so that the employees could all enjoy an ice cream bar to celebrate the success.

The legendary actor Marlon Brando was known to love ice cream and at one time is reported to have been seen buying 5 gallons at a time.

Here are a few others famous faces and what are understood to be their favorite ice cream flavors:


Jackie Chan
Chocolate Ice Cream

Elvis Presley
Chocolate Milkshake Ice Cream Peach Ice Cream

George W Bush
Pralines and Cream Ice Cream


Eddie Murphy developed a great stage comic performance out of his love of ice cream as a child.

Roald Dahl the famous children's writer wrote about his fantasy of an ice cream that never melts in his most famous story 'Charlie and The Chocolate Factory'.

Laurel & Hardy used ice cream in several, key comedy scenes including the famous 'Moustachio Ice Cream' sketch from their short movie entitled 'Come Clean' made in 1931.

Are you happy?I prefer people not to talk until the end.

I prefer people not to talk until the end. If you're going to tell me something, then I'll know it. Some people I can't read and I will know straight away. There is a time in life when people need guidance. Mostly, people want to know there's another place a loved one goes to. Knowing a loved one is safe brings Happiness.


I've had a sense since I was little. Auntie is pregnant, I'd say, and then the phone would ring. These days I don't need to sell myself. I did a reading years ago, got my tarot cards out, and noticed a man staring at me. He came over and said, 'Don't believe in this, it's all crap.' I pulled him to me and said something in confidence, something specific. I found out he was the MD of Selfridges and then he asked me to give readings there.


I've never predicted someone's death. If I saw something bad I wouldn't say it, unless it was something like a woman's husband sleeping with someone else - something happening here on earth. There are clients who affect you with their stories, like a woman who lost her son to suicide. It's not callous, but you have to disconnect.


I'm quite happy. Work keeps me buzzing and afterwards I have a drink, a laugh. I don't know what happens after this life when I go to meet my maker. I'll be in the spirit world and hopefully I can come back and help the people I love.
