Who is your idol? (not pop idol related)

Love2love

Well, who is it that you look up to with starry eyed admiration and think 'LEGEND' and why??

I have so many but one of the main ones for me is Frank Sinatra just for musicals, I love nothing better than to lounge on the sofa on a Sunday afternoon watching one of them while nursing my hangover. So who is it for you?

Apologies if its been done before.

Doctor DooM

Easy. Optimus Prime. Loved him as a kid! represented everything I thought a hero should be.

pretty-in-pink

Justin Timberlake, Bob Dylan and Oscar Wilde

Wacker

I have a few. The following would definately be up there: Mick Foley (although I don't watch pro wrestling any more), Randy Couture, Grace Kelly, and Batman.

Yes, one of my idols is a fictional character, what's it to ya?!?

Doctor DooM

Mick Foley for me too. If only more people who are "celebrities" had his attitude, passion or brains.

estebancambias

Esteban Cambiasso, Mark Hoppus, Paul London(Wrestler), Eminem(Although I don't listen to him any more), Stephen Hunt.

Yes people, no Tim McVeigh.

estebancambias

Yeah but Foley is and was an awful wrestler, but yes the man is someone to look upto.

Tom Crean is a real legend. I'd urge people to read up on this man's exploits. One of the greatest Irishmen of all time in my opinion.

heh, me too, reminded me of a friend of mine who used to know all the words to the first 2 songs he released.

Dudess

But do you idolise them?

Anto McC

Idolise is such a strong word, i like them but they'd have to do a really good impression of Scatman John before i'd idolise them.
