Chelsea Clinton and Stella McCartney have admitted they wanted to grow up completely 'different' from their famous parents.
In a discussion published in the latest issue of Harper's Bazaar, the duo open up about trying to rebel against everything that interested their parents.
'I worked in the private sector for years and tried very hard to care about things that were different from what my parents cared about,' admitted 35-year-old Chelsea.
'It's kind of sad to say that that my major act of rebellion... was to declare that I was a vegetarian,' she added, before Stella, 43, pointed out that her father, Bill Clinton, is the 'real rebel' who took a step further to become vegan in 2010 (though he has since rescinded that diet).

Chelsea also recalled her first experiences with fashion, which she says, were mostly negative.
'When I was little I'd watch my mother -- who was this very successful lawyer and children's rights advocate -- be perceived predominantly through her appearance,' she said of Hillary Clinton.
'When my father ran for president, there were criticisms about her wearing suits that were two seasons old...I was also criticized when I was 12 or 13 and I wore cotton dresses from the local department store.'

I am sure that, since they have been poverty-stricken for years, people would be willing to overlook her mother wearing 2-year old pant suits or her wearing cotton dresses from the department store.
I mean, what can you expect from people who can barely make ends meet?
Phfftt. If Chelsea Clinton actually wanted to rebel against those two, she’d have turned Christian. That would have had ashtrays flying and fingers wagging in her face for sure.
Many vegetarians (and militant athiests, for that matter) choose that path for that specific reason; to rebel and to seem cool to other, like-minded, immature (regardless of age) people that they want to impress.
But, I’m pretty sure Bill said “vagitarian”. Just like Hillary.
Thanks!
Chelsea, it wasn’t the “clothes” you wore when you were little that people thought were ugly.
There's something I didn't know...
Sweet fancy Moses.
What kind of fresh hell...??!!
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.
— ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
She doesn’t mind her dad beat up women or is a traitor selling secrets to China but that he is a vegan.
Not possible. :/
That’s just nasty.
I see Her Thighness in the making. Caution, rubber discharge area!
Was this during her pregnancy?
Shut up and sit down
How about REALLY rebelling by becoming a Christian Conservative?
