WHO has been the most INTERESTING person you have ever met?

Answer 1

Stevie Wonder. I met him when he came to my high school to give a talk to the senior music major class. I had a one on one talk with him while he was waiting for his car to come pick him up. It was amazing.

I studied dramatics in high school, so it was my study hall hour and I left something in one of the rehearsal rooms behind the stage in the auditorium. I walked in there and he was sitting there. He called me "Frank", I said no I'm a student. He thought I was someone else. A few seconds later Frank walked in. He ask Stevie if he wanted me to leave, he said no. There was a piano in there and I asked him if I could play something for him. He agreed. So I played the theme song from the Little Mermaid. We talked and played for about 40 minutes because I remember the bell sounding to end the period. I left and Stevie told me to never give up on any dreams. He reached to shake my hand, and when I shook his hand he pulled me to give me a hug. It was amazing. I didn't wash my hand for the rest of the day. And this all happened before there were digital camera's (well affordable ones). He is interesting and very kind. This happened in 1996.

Answer 2

Ooh. Gregory Peck, Gene Hackman and ancient old woman... all great!

I met Stephen Hawking last year, and interviewed him for Palestinian TV (weird experience!). I've also recently met former political prisoners and military 'refuseniks', which was a very interesting experience. And plenty of bishops.

My girlfriend once met Comandante Marcos of the Zapatistas. That must have been interesting.

Ooh. I met the Queen once. But we only talked about being in the Scouts and getting muddy (well, it *was* a long time ago!).

My Dad always tells fascinating stories. He was a fireman on the steam trains and was involved in many escapades; running an engine into the River Thames, blowing out the glass in the roof of stations... A very interesting life...

But I met a guy yesterday, who was certainly the most interesting guy I've met in a long time. He's 76 years old, half-deaf, and a veteran left-wing activist. He was part of "The Sailor's Rebellion of 1951", a massive strike action in Israel. He was active in the Communist party through much of the fifties and sixties, but left after being dissatisfied with their obsession over justifying the policy of the USSR.

After the May 1968 Paris demonstrations, he started formulating a new branch of political science, based on Direct Democracy - a truly fascinating subject. The basic idea is that modern technology now makes the concept of elected representatives irrelevant.

"if you can send a message out and 80 million people make a vote with their red button or their SMS message, and 'a star is born' - then sure as hell, you can do the same thing... and 'a policy is born' "

While living in London, he made friends with colleagues of Trotsky and Rosa Luxembourg. He's been an anti-capitalist activist for over 50 years. Really, he had some great stories to tell!

We talked for about five hours yesterday about politics, history and religious philosophy, and it has easily been the most interesting five hours I've spent in years!

Therefore, I nominate Akiva Orr.

Answer 3

That's difficult to answer, I've met so many interesting people. And I've found people are so interesting at first, but the novelty wears off once I've figured out what makes them tick. The most interesting people to me are the ones who I'm constantly discovering something about.

The most interesting person I've met is fading from my memory, but he still stands out. He was some guy that intrigued me as soon as I saw him. He used to come into the store I worked in quite often. Eventually I started talking to him, and he knew a little or a lot about most topics I could think of. He eventually asked me to marry him but he was old enough to be my dad! :)

Answer 4

The most interesting person I've ever known or met? I think that would have to be... I don't know. I've met a lot of people. A bunch from several different countries. I've almost met Joe Biden's wife before, but I don't think that counts... I really don't know.

Answer 5

Homer Simpson

Answer 6

The person i see in the mirror, that's the most interesting person I have and will ever meet

Answer 7

Jesus Christ is the most interesting person I always meet even in my thoughts and heart. I can always feel His presence everyday of my life - in my failures and successes. He let those failures happen in my life so that I will cling to Him and successes that I may thank and praise Him all my life.

He is the most interesting person because He has done all the wonderful things that we now enjoy!!!

Answer 8

My son! He keeps me amused with his sayings, and the things he does to cheer me up! He's wonderful and the most interesting person who I have met!

Answer 10

My Granddad. He was English and he knew SO much stuff and was really old when I was a kid and it was cool to hear about the castle his family had and how he fell in the moat. He made history interesting. Modern days it would be my older brother. He knows a little bit about a lot of stuff and a lot about a little bit of stuff. He has a great sense of humor, too. Plus my brother was named after our Granddad, Frederick.
