One with pride in being a celebrity? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lion

I believe this is a triple definition!

'one with pride' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in other clues)

'in' acts as a link.

'being' is the second definition.
(lion is a kind of being)

'a celebrity?' is the third definition.
(both can mean a celebrated person)

(Other definitions for lion that I've seen before include "Carnivorous 6" , "Simba, for example" , "The -, the Witch and the Wardrobe" , "Maned beast" , "Cowardly visitor in Oz" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
