Robert. Downey. Jr.


His career had great success in his youth, followed by a period of substance abuse and legal troubles, before a resurgence of commercial success in middle age.

Eventually in 2008, Downey was named by Time magazine among the 100 most influential people in the world, and from 2013 to 2015, he was listed by Forbes as Hollywood's highest-paid actor. His films have grossed over $14.4 billion worldwide, making him the third highest-grossing box-office star of all time

Keanu Reeves, he is a very kind, generous, good person, gives most of his money to charity, is very humble, and I like to follow his example of being kind, not too extravagant, not big-headed, and being excellent to other people. Remember to be excellent to each other!

all his marvel iron man features are next level inspiring , and his father figure to spiderman especially is a whole different emotional side but his version of sherlock is just marvellous and suits him so well

Kubrick and Bowie for me. The only person alive rn who I'd consider an inspiration is Thom Yorke (from Radiohead)

I don't really think I have a general inspiration...

I have musical inspirations though. Jake Kiszka has to be the most notable one at the moment, he's a guitarist from an up and coming band (they've blown up quite recently, and quite frankly, I worship them). The guy is the same age as me but has apparently been playing guitar his entire life, and it shows. I'd go as far as saying he's capable of being the next Jimmy Page, he plays so effortlessly and his riffs are so god damn catchy. It's inspired me to keep playing, and I honestly think this guitar playing is the only thing keeping me going right now.

I had the privilege of seeing him live a couple of weeks ago, on the rail, on his side. Safe to say I stared in awe for the entire show. Met him afterwards as well. He's a really down to earth guy, clear that the fame hasn't taken it's toll yet.
