Bruce Lee
Any others????
I am not sure about idols, but there were definitely people I looked up to during different phases of my life, especially as a child in the '80s/'90s. Not necessarily for the personalities of their personal lives, but for excelling at what they did in their respective fields.
Sergio Leone
John Woo
Tim Burton
Michael Bay
Gene Roddenberry
George Lucas
James Cameron
JCVD
Wesley Snipes
Bruce Lee
Jackie Chan
Billy Idol
Steve Stevens
Zakk Wylde
All right, my first partner (I see you mentioned Bruce Lee).
Nice choices, thank you.
I'm surprised Idol showed up twice. But yeah, he was one of the most dynamic forces in 80's music.
shareMy idols are Tom Green and Jim Morrison.
I don't idolize anyone else but Im big fan of Jackie Chan, Eminem, Brian Molko, Tech Nine, DMX and B-Real.
TOm Green?
Oh yes, The Lizard King - excellent
Yes, Tom Green. I wouldn't be half the man I am today if not from him. I can understand you being perplexed about it though. No worries.
shareAnd yet Freddy Got Fingered isn't your favorite film, speaking of being perplexed.
shareI feel you, I feel you.
I'm really more of a fan of his shows and his skits than his movies. I also love his stand-up and met him once at Yuk-Yuks. I even watched many of his TikTok lives where he either records funny rap or spend time with his dog in the nature.
Hahaha, I don't even know who Tom Green is.
I'm going to look him up...
All right, Canadian guy that was once married to Drew Barrymore. Is this who you are talking about?
John Bonham
shareProbably Billy Corgan. His music got me through some tough times even though he's kind of an asshole.
shareRay Bradbury.
A friend of mine always said, "If you're going to have an idol, pick someone who's dead, that way they can't screw up on ya," then he'd laugh*. Ray Bradbury was very much alive at this time.
