A very random question, need one word answer

[ptrg]

(..well two if you write a first name and surname)

Who would you say is an influential celebrity/athlete/other, that is under 25, and that YOU look up to?

I'm talking a GenX&Y (or even the one that comes after Y) aussie.. - no al gore's, desmond tutu's or kevin piterson's here please.... It can be a footballer, musician, cricketer, tv personality, anyone!

I ask because I have been tasked to write a 3rd year uni proposal on a person or group of people that could influence others or their own generation..

Thanks and I really appreciate anyone that can throw up some good ideas!

how about someone like torah bright?

if you're unfamiliar with her, she's the 2007 World Snowboard Champion, is only 21, and of course an aussie!

can't really think of any footballers who are liked by all clubs enough??

Fernando Torres; oozes class both on and off the field, modest, has all the ability in the world, yet doesn't let it go to his head, still together with his child hood sweetheart named Ollala (they met when they were 8), he is a perfect team-player, a fantastic guy and everyone looks up to Fernando Torres.

Respected by his team-mates, his peers, opposition coaches, a real role model for young people aspiring to be professional footballers when they grow up

That's OK, we'll just claim him like we do every other celebrity/athlete.

Dead or alive, Heath Ledger has left his mark in the film industry. His role as the Joker has and will influence the way Writers/Actors/Filmakers go about there work today.

 

[MF]

I'm pretty sure Heath was older than 25.

 

[RoosterLad]

Yep, we we have had Americans, Spaniards and 25+'s named here when an under 25 year old Aussie was required.

Welldone Bigfooty.

Aussie celebrities clearly suck. The question must be a trap?

 

[magic_johnson!]

buddy franklin
garry ablett
joel sellwood

 

[adelaide_40]

Corey Worthington

thats my choice

 

[soupaman]

Bindi Irwin.

Not only is she so young, but the low key manner in which she has dealt with her fathers death, and her subsequent independance from her mothers opinions and intentions, have made her truly inspirational figure for all generations. If only there were more celebrities as real and normal as Bindi, this thread would have alot more realistic responses.

 

[BlueFan4]

Whats wrong with Corey?
