Michelle Obama says if she wasn't FLOTUS her ideal occupation would be 'Beyonce'
She can even do that thing with her hand from the Single Ladies video

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.If you needed any more proof that Michelle Obama was a) cool, b) relatable and c) probably loads of fun on a wedding dance floor, look no further than her latest interview.
The FLOTUS held a Q&A as part of her Beating the Odds summit at the White House, and was asked by rapper Wale (no, we’re not sure why he was interviewing her either) what career she’d pursue if she wasn’t a lawyer, writer and political boss.
“I would be Beyonce,” she says. Which is basically the most perfect answer.
“I’ve got the hands,” she added, before doing the Single Ladies move like a pro.
She was also asked what advice she'd give her younger self, to which she said "Don't be afraid, and to ask for help."
She also 'made it rain' by preteding to hurl cash through the air.
What a time to be alive.
Currently there are no petitions on Change.org campaigning for Beyonce and Obama to swap jobs for a week but this article will be updated if it does.
