Um, well for the sake of the thread...
1. Eminem
2. Derren Brown
3. Quentin Tarantino
I'd also have to give Mike Tyson and Larry David honourable mentions. Top three is so hard though. I'm almost annoyed at the three I said yet still can't bare to change them lmao. I'm annoyed as Richard Dawkins and Steven Pinker are fucking givens! (clearly not due to the fact I didn't pick them, but they're so important and brilliant).
Also, Ricky Gervais is definitely a top three for me. Except he can't be as I've used the three up, but Eminem HAS to stay, Derren Brown HAS to stay and so does QT. Not gonna meet any of them anyway so who the fuck cares but Ricky Gervais deserves a big mention.
But in reality, I don't want to meet any of my heroes. Not only for the probability that it'll be a let down but more-so due to the fact that I'm a nobody, and would mean nothing to them, just another face, a random fan. And... I just couldn't sum up everything they mean to me or... get that respect that we all crave to be able to relate and empathize with each other.
So, I'd only ever want to meet my heroes if I was in their world in some way. For example, if I became a comedy writer, and became very respected and created a legendary show, THEN I would love to meet Larry David. As there's some common ground and likely mutual respect there. So you're automatically treated in a serious sense in their mind.
