Kim Kardashian: 'I'd live a normal life if I wasn't famous'

Kim Kardashian would be a forensic investigator if she wasn't famous.

The 35-year-old star is one of the most well known faces in the world thanks to her reality show Keeping Up With the Kardashians and her family life with husband Kanye West and their two children.

But despite her global notoriety, Kim would have followed a different career route if she hadn't become famous.

Asked by Vogue Australia what she would have chosen as an alternative profession, Kim replied: "I would be a forensic investigator and live a normal life."

A lot of Kim's fame, as well as that of her siblings Khloe, Kourtney and Rob Kardashian and Kendall and Kylie Jenner, stems from their manager, and mother, Kris Jenner's direction.

In the interview, Kim added she considers the matriarch an inspiration due to her ability to balance her personal and professional lives.

"I want to live her (Kris') life and be successful, work hard and still have so many kids - and still take care of everyone else," Kim explained.

The photoshoot marks the first one since Kim gave birth to son Saint, now five months old.

For the cover shot, Kim looks stunning in a cream tunic dress from Kanye's Yeezy range. Her raven hair is worn loose and her make-up kept simple, resulting in a gorgeously low-key image.

Another question Kim was asked in the interview was what she considers the most important attribute in a man, to which she replied: "Humor".

On Sunday, Kim took to her Twitter page to pay tribute to the women in her family as she marked Mother's Day holiday.

She began her posts by writing: "Happy Mothers Day to all of the moms out there! This job isn't easy but the best job in the world! Much respect."

Kim then shared a sweet throwback picture of her with Kris and her late father Robert Kardashian, in which she and Kris are wearing matching denim outfits.

"Happy Mothers Day! I'm so lucky to have u as my mom. Always dressed as twins (I look cray (crazy) w bangs I just cut). I (heart) U (sic)," Kim wrote alongside the picture.

The third message saw Kim pay tribute to her grandmother MJ, as she wrote: "Happy Mothers Day to my grandma MJ. U've taught all of us girls to be independent & work hard. I'm so grateful for u (sic)."
