What famous person do you admire and respect

[muush88]

Muhammed Ali  talked the talk and walked the walk. Went to prison for what he believed in. He could have went into the military and he would have had it made doing exhibitions and things like that. Some say he took the easy way out  I dont agree. 

And he floated like a butterfly and stung like a bee

I really don't have a particular famous person I admire, but I will say I admire musicians. Well....I say Beyonce. I saw some of her concerts on youtube. I admire the way she treats her fans and how she gives it her all on stage each night. Oooh oooh! I forgot to mention my sweet Michael jackson! No explanation needed, I love him.

I admire Johnny Depp for his incredible adaptability in acting and for his passion in supporting causes.  Works hard, plays hard, fights hard!

I like Tiger Woods.  He is good at golf and has "relations" with many, many women.  He is living many men's dream.

Well... I'm not a person who admire someone because I think everyone in this world has good and bad things in their side... but if I have to admire their work in this world it will be... Mother Teresa of Calcutta person who really care about others no matter their color, race or religion. Another person that I can admire can be Leonardo DaVinci, because he was more than a great painter, he was a person who wants to change  this world with his inventions. He was a genious, one of the best scientific minds of his time. He made painstaking observations and carried out research in fields ranging from architecture and civil engineering to astronomy to anatomy and zoology to geography, geology and paleontology. Awesome right?

I don't admire any famous person or celebrity.  The only difference between them and me is $.  And money doesn't make you better than anyone else.

That is almost exactly right. The average celebrity also has an average of 16 IQ points higher than the average person, though. They have all that money for a reason; not all of them for more than that they look good, but a lot of them because they're intelligent and adaptable.

For example, Will Smith is a celebrity I admire-- He's intelligent and EXTREMELY wealthy, but he's no less relatable for it. He's a versatile and emotional actor, and he is very friendly and funny in person (from what I've seen of course).

Yess!!... That exactly what I think about DaVinci...today he could have been one of the most important man in earth for his abilities, inteligence and revolutionary mind.

i respect people in the public eye who don't apologize for the things they say and do.. but also say and do good things.  when they start apologizing i feel like i'm listening to their publicist... i.e. TIGER WOODS.  sad for him though to be so spotlighted through a bad situation.  stick to your guns though and i'll respect you!
