Who would you be if you weren't who you are now?
This catchy question has been circulating on social media, prompting many to share amusing and clever insights into their potential alternate lives.
Sam Mac revealed his answer to this ‘popular’ question, sharing what he'd be if he wasn't the renowned Sunrise weatherman.
On Wednesday, the 41-year-old TV host invited his social media followers to a Q&A session. Among the many questions, one fan asked, ‘If you weren't a weatherman, what would you be?’
Without hesitation, Sam replied, ‘Professional dancer. Obviously.’ He paired his answer with a video clip of himself dancing a Latin number to Shakira's ‘Hips Don't Lie’ from his 2022 appearance on Dancing with the Stars.
This amusing reply segued to a segment from The Morning Show where Sam commented, ‘My parents are Irish, but I'm getting a hereditary test done. I'm certain I'm Latino.’
This comedic response from Sam follows a recent incident in which schoolchildren humorously campaigned for Robert Irwin to take over his Sunrise role.
Capturing the moment, Sam shared a photo with kids holding signs stating, ‘We love Sam Mac... but Robert Irwin for weatherman!’
Embracing the humour, Sam captioned the photo, ‘Not again! This is getting ridiculous.’
This light-hearted rivalry between Sam and 19-year-old Robert kicked off in July of the previous year. Robert had stepped in for Sam during his personal leave, which sparked a playful banter between the two.
Given Robert's vast popularity, many of his fans hope to see him on TV more frequently. And their wish might soon be granted.
Rumour has it that Robert is in line to succeed Dr Chris Brown as the co-host of ‘I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’
As reported by TV Blackbox, insider sources hint at Robert joining Julia Morris for the Network 10 reality show.
Addressing these rumours, a Network 10 representative told the Daily Mail Australia, ‘The guessing game of who is in the jungle is already afoot with speculation galore as to who will fill those very big shoes for Australia's most sought-after hosting gig.’
They continued, ‘But you know how this goes, just like the celebrities in the camp, we can neither confirm nor deny any rumours surrounding a new jungle host.’
‘For now, we'll just have to keep you hanging until our intimate Upfront event reveals all.’
Sam Mac’s Background
Born in Adelaide, Sam Mac began as a notably clumsy Black Thunder driver for SAFM. This led him on-air, transitioning from radio shows to TV stints.
His self-created university show, ‘Sam Mac's Single Bed,’ opened doors to Channel Ten's The Project.
While juggling various roles, including a comedic soccer show on Fox Sports, his defining moment was in 2016 when he became the Sunrise weatherman.
His blend of humour and heart won audiences nationwide, making him a unique and unpredictable figure in Australian media.
