Sitting plays a big role in everyone’s life, just think of the amount of time you spend sitting on an average day. In fact, some recent estimates suggest that we spend more than eight hours a day sitting down. We sit when we eat, when we drive, when we are at work, when we watch television and the list goes on and on. So with all this time an average human spends sitting, there must be some pretty familiar seats. Perhaps these seats could include some famous bench seats that a king or queen dined on or perhaps some world-famous seat in a 1950s style cafe that James Dean or Marilyn Monroe sat in. These are possibly some very famous seats, however it seems that there are some even more famous seats outside of them.
The first seat on this list is what is considered the most famous seat in the cinema. It’s the seat bench from the movie Forrest Gump. This famous seat appears throughout the entire film and is where the kind and simple man tells the story of his life and how he met the love of his life Jenny. This seat is not in any movie studio in Hollywood, it is a real bench located in Savannah, Georgia, USA, that thousands of people use every day. The bank is mentioned on every tour of Savannah and is one of the most famous landmarks in the city.
Next on our list of known seats is one of the most famous seats in music history. You may be thinking it’s a seat at the Sydney Opera House, or maybe one at Madison Square Garden, but you’d be wrong. The next famous seat in this article is in Graceland, Memphis Tennessee. That’s right, it’s the world-famous toilet Elvis passed away on. Some people would say this doesn’t count as a seat, but what else can you do on the toilet if you don’t sit down?
The final entry in this article is what can be considered the most famous seat in the world. The Pope’s chair or “throne” located in St. Peter’s Basilica is where the leader of the Catholic faith performs Mass and where he makes some of the most important decisions for Catholicism. Almost a billion people around the world look to this seat for the guidance of the man who sits in it and that is why it can be considered the most famous seat in the world.
So there you have it, those are perhaps the three most famous seats in the world from three of the world’s most influential media outlets, film, music, and religion.
