To use a term loosely is not to stick with the precise definition.
For example, a hero is a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities.

If we say a movie star is our hero, we are probably just admiring his good looks, or his acting, or perhaps the character he pretended to be. It is not likely that he is a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities.
Some related words often used loosely: ace, adventurer, celebrity, champion, combatant, conqueror, daredevil, demigod, diva, exemplar, gallant, god, goddess, great person, heroine, ideal, idol, lion, martyr, master, model, paladin, saint, star, superstar, victor, worthy.
