We’ve covered the last meals of prisoners on death row before, but never the last meals of famous people.
Most of the time these people didn’t actually know they were going to die, so had no idea that what they were tucking into was going to be the last thing they ate. Some of them were great, some of them real stinkers. But I guess when you’re living your life you can’t tuck into ice cream and burgers every single day can you, unless you want to be a fat fuck and chances are if you’re famous you’re not going to be fat. That’s the price you pay; however perversely you also get your last meal recorded. Enjoy.
