Heroes

Who are yours? Say you had 10 people to put down as the ones you really look up to in life, and admire-who would they be?

Only well known ones, cos everyone'd probably put a relative of some sort, so celebrity icons. In whatever order you see fit I suppose.

I don't quite know mine at the moment.

Michael Schumacher
Russell Crowe
Freddie Mercury
Dieter Bohlen

Can't come up with any others right now. I have always admired these four guys.

Chicken Parmigianna Hero
Italian Sausage Hero
Bologna and Mayonaisse Hero
Chicken Marinnara Hero
Turkey & Cheese Hero
Ham & Cheese Hero
Meatball Hero
Salami Hero
Steak & Cheese Hero
Tuna Hero

Living: Billy Joel
Dead: Freddie Mercury

Hmmmmmmmm, probably something along the lines of:

George Orwell
Russell T Davies
Dennis Potter
Sydney Newman
Nigel Kneale
Peter Flannery
HG Wells
Michael Wearing
Rudolph Cartier
Paul Abbott

Nearly all writers, predictably enough! The exceptions being Newman and Wearing (who were/are television producers) and Cartier (who was a director).

Seriously speaking only these (at least that I can think of now)...

Queen (But most of all Brian May)
Martin Luther King Jr.
Jesus
Pele
The Beatles (except for Ringo... he's a knucklehead)
Gandhi

Heroes:

Freddie Mercury
Joe Strummer



People I admire:

John Lennon, Bob Marley, Paul McCartney, Brian May, Andy Warhol, George Harrison, Elton John, Richard Ashcroft, Ben Harper, Elvis Presley, Nelson Mandela, Bob Dylan, Brian Wilson, Matt Bellamy, Jimi Hendrix

More than 10?
Ah well...

Freddie Mercury
Michael Schumacher
Hugh Hefner

Kenneth Williams: A great story teller.

Phil Lynott: coolest guy who ever lived.

Larry Flynnt: Champion of free speech.

John Deacon: I admire his dignity

Clive Stafford Smith: A British lawyer who works in the US defending inmates on Death Row.

John Smith: The greatest prime minister this country never had.

Frankie Miller: Scottish blues singer and inspiration to millions.

Richard Pryor: The funniest man on the planet

Sidney Lumet: Great director

Jimmy Cagney: My Hero.

fatty.

I don't have any celebrity heroes at all - there are some I can appreciate because of their talent, but not heroes.

Real heroes are the ordinary people who do the extraordinary without thought for their own safety, for reward or gain.

Muhammad Ali - genius in the ring, great man too
Malcolm X
Bill bixby - my favourite actor

not really heroes but people i admire.

Richard Pryor: The funniest man on the planet

- Richard Pryor is brilliant. Its such a shame to see the way that his health has declined.

"Is it a bat? Is it a crow? No, its super nigger!"

Queen (all of them)
Oskar Schindler
Mikhail Gorbatxov
Jim Raynor (okay, he's not real)
Josep-Lluís Carod Rovira

I don't really like or admire any people at all. Most of them are quite annoying I must say.

But since so many people mentioned some dude named 'Michael' Schumacher, I'll add my vote for...

Joel Schumacher! World-class director extraordinaire. What he did with 'The Lost Boys' can be described as nothing less than magic, and his screenplay for 'Car Wash' is really the mold by which all others compare since 1976.
