Would love to?

Hi! everyone.Could you tell me what this sentence means?I actually read it on web someone wrote it like this-
"A celebrity(who is dead) who you would have loved to have followed" I think this isn't correct.In which sense you could think it is right or grammatical? Or what meaning it gives to your ears?
I think it should be "Who you would have loved to follow"
Or You would love to have followed? Is this sentence correct?(Isn't it like a regret?) Isn't it like saying"who you would rather have followed"
Thanks

These are OK: .. whom you would love to have followed ( = you can no longer do so) ... whom you would love to follow (= you can still do so, but you have chosen not to)

Hi! Sir thanks for taking a look.
Sir I can't see,where I denied to love that celebrity you wrote "you have chosen not to".

I didn't say that you did anything necessarily; I am merely offering the meanings that the phrases suggest.
