For me, its Tom Sandoval. This is based on him being multi-talented. he’s a lead movie star, a reality star, a rocker, has his own band, he owns restaurants, he’s a millionaire, he’s swimming in money, super good looks, fucks only other celebs, Born in 1983 and still a rising star. A Hollywood golden boy, great hair and is deemed a nice guy to fans worldwide.

How about you ?
Patrick Swayze as Dalton and Keanu Reeves as John Wick
shareStanley Kubrick.
The Shining made me interested in film when I was a kid. I watched movies a bit differently and more cynical after seeing Kubrick's films.
Bob Dylan
If I had to pick one. He's the most extraordinary artist/explainer/musician I've encountered. He was sort of the keystone of the rise of popular/folk/rock music of decades following.
Mine are mostly athletes and guitar players/musicians.
I loved Willie Stargell as a kid and even emulated his famous "dipsy do" warm-up swing when I was in Little League.
Tom Seaver would be another one...I read his books on pitching when I was young and really learned a lot about pitching from him (I loved how his left knee would sometimes scrape the pitcher's mound because he had such tremendous leg drive).
When I got older and more into golf...John Daly. "Grip It And Rip It!" ⛳🏌️
Too many guitarists and musicians to name, but I'll give a few...The Eagles, The Beatles, Eric Clapton, Eddie Van Halen, Paul Simon, Jim Croce, Randy Scruggs, and Jorma Kaukonen.

Those celebrities had some influence on me while growing up as a kid, but I can’t say they influence much of anything on me anymore.
