FAMOUS FACES WHO HAVE CLIMBED MOUNT EVEREST
12 Nov 2022
In May of 1953, a young New Zealander named Edmund Hillary and his Nepalese Sherpa guide, Tenzing Norgay, became the first climbers confirmed to have reached the 29,035-foot summit of Mount Everest, the world’s tallest mountain. Since then, hundreds more have followed in their footsteps, including a number of celebrities. Among the celebrities who have made the trek to Everest’s summit are actors Gerard Depardieu and Brian Blessed, British adventurer Bear Grylls, and the late explorer Steve Fossett. Depardieu famously reached the top of the mountain in 1992, while Blessed made it to the top in 1993. Grylls summitted in 1998, and Fossett in 2005. Other celebrities who have climbed Everest include television host Phil Keoghan, who did so in 2002, and British comedian and actor Stephen Fry, who reached the summit in 2006. Fry’s climb was particularly noteworthy as he did so despite suffering from altitude sickness. So far, only one woman has made it to the top of Everest as part of a celebrity expedition: In May of 2010, actress Lydia Bottego became the first and only female celebrity to summit Everest, as part of a team that also included her husband, Simone Moro, and American actress Charlize Theron.
Many celebrities have scaled Mount Everest, including George Clooney. A number of people have achieved success, but many others have failed to live up to their potential.
