The Most Trusted Celebrity
Attenborough was named the most trusted celebrity in the UK in 2006 by in a Reader’s Digest poll. A year later, he won The Culture Show’s Living Icon Award. He’s also been named among the 100 Greatest Britons in a BBC poll and is considered to be one of the top ten “Heroes of Our Time.”
In 2012, Attenborough was selected by artist Sir Peter Blake to appear in an updated version of his most famous artwork: the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover. It was done to celebrate the British cultural figures in his life. I should probably also mention that Attenborough has earned over 40 awards in his lifetime.
