Hofit Golan: “What’s on your mantelpiece?”

The Steeple Times asks TV presenter and model Hofit Golan: “What’s on your mantelpiece?”

 

The Steeple Times shares “wit and wisdom”. What’s your guiding force?

Know what makes you happy and build your life around that. People will always offer their opinion so know how to take the advice you need without compromising your own ambitions, dreams and drive. Where there is a will, there is a way, and the journey to your destination is the fun part. Finally, learn to be present in the moment.

 

“Don’t get even, get medieval” is, in our humble opinion, a great motto. What’s yours?

Mine is: “Actions speak louder than words”.

 

Kerry Katona was considered unacceptable in 2007. Who or what is unacceptable in 2013?

I don’t think its fair on Kerry to even start the question that way, but what’s unacceptable for me these days is the horrible biotech company Monsanto and the poisonous GMO foods they have given the world. They have a disregard for mother-nature, to livestock and to peoples’ health. Its truly sad they are even allowed to exist. I think everyone has the right to clean organic food and water. We shouldn’t be messing with nature and DNA

 

Tony Blair misses being Prime Minister. What do you miss most in your life?

I don’t miss anything. If I feel like something is missing, I do something about it. I find it, work for it, create it or replace it.


What might you swap all your wealth for?

The health and happiness of the people I love and even strangers if it came down to it. If I could keep them safe, it would be priceless to me.

 

Donald Trump was once a case of: “If you owe the bank a thousand, they close you down; but if you owe the bank a billion, you own the bank”. What’s your view on the banking crisis?

Greed: Corruption and carelessness have influenced the long-term economic effect that this greed has and will cause.

 

What phrase or word do you most loathe?

“No. It’s not possible”.

 

In the UK, some people consider charity to “begin at home”. What’s your view and what causes do you personally support?

Charity starts in your heart, then should grow and spread into everything we do. If you can help your local community you can see your work have an effect. Find small organisations you trust and support them. Kindness and love is the beauty of our human nature. We should try to spread as much of that and help people in need every chance we get.

 

The judge in Law Abiding Citizen states: “I can pretty much do whatever I want” before being blown up whilst answering her mobile phone. What’s your view on the appropriate use of such devices?

Appropriate usage of a mobile phone? A camera, a video phone, a mirror, for text, BBM, Whatsapp, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram. Oh and yeah, you can use it to call people.

If you could fill a carriage on The Orient Express, who would be your fellow passengers?

An eclectic mix of everyone from every walk of life, every class group. I would be a fly on the wall and just be interested to see how people that normally don’t interact would react to one another. It would be so interesting.

 

If you were unfortunate enough to end up on death row, what would be your last meal and where would you eat it?

My last meal? So morbid. I don’t think I would have much of an appetite, maybe a dish from home that my mom made me while growing up. I guess I would eat it in jail.

 

What time is it acceptable to consume the first drink of the day?

I am teetotal.  I’ve never drunk.

 

A Negroni, a martini or a cup of tea?

A cup of organic herbal jasmine green tea.

 

Whose parties do you enjoy the most and why?

I can’t really answer that as every event is lovely and every party has someone working hard to please their guests. They all have their charm. The people you know make a party fun, not the party itself.

 

Who is the most positive person you know?

My brother, Dror Golan. He always makes me laugh

 

What’s your most guilty pleasure?

Dark chocolate.

 

If a tattoo were to sum you up, what would it be of?

I’m not that easy to sum up.

 

If you were a car, what marque would you be?

I’m a girl… I don’t even understand this question… For women, make it about shoes!

 

Cilla Black presented Surprise, Surprise. Tell us the most surprising thing about you.

I am passionate about the environment, animal rights, organic clean living. I live a very glamourous life but love the most simple basic things like a good walk in the park and a yummy cup of tea.

 

What’s currently sitting on your mantelpiece?

Which one? … Photos of family and friends, Ralph Lauren candles and magazines.
