Celebrities I would most like to have lunch with...

There are very few celebrities I actually like and fewer still who would excite any emotion in me besides 'Whatever'. But the questionnaire thats been going around asked a fascinating question: which celeb would you have lunch with?
-Aung San Suu Kyi:The opposition leader of Burma who has been under house arrest for much of the last 15 years and still persists in fighting the regime through non-violent means. She is a true heroine and the person I would most like to meet.
-Bono: Bono is also someone who could wear the 'hero' tag. Being the lead singer and writer of the greatest group of all time (U2) is only the tip of the ieceberg. He has done more to fight poverty and third world debt than any politician you can think of. Tireless and completely selfless, Bono deserves a nobel prize for everything he has done. The music is pretty great as well :)
*useless trivia department: Bono wrote the song 'Walk on' for the person right above him-Aung San herself.
-Kevin Spacey: Simply because he is my favorite actor. He would probably be an awkward person to talk to mind you, but it would be interesting to pick his brain.
-Samuel.L.Jackson: Coolest actor ever.
-Nelson Mandela: I dont really have to explain this one do I? The man is a legend.
-Natalie Imbruglia: Have had a soft spot for her for years. Would be an interesting companion and fairly easy on the eye!
-Jennifer Garner: No explainable reason rally. I would have to introduce you to how my brain works and thats going to take a lot more than this humble post.
-Chris Martin: As the lead singer of my favorite group, I'd love to ask him the meaning of so many Coldplay songs. 'Clocks' seems to have at least 200 intepretations..
The last person on this list(its not in order btw!) is not really a celebrity as such because his identity is still unknown. The Chinese student who stood infront of a moving tank during the Tiananmen protests in 1989(about 1,500 students were later killed) and was only pulled away by a fellow protestor. He was the TIME magazine man of that year, and someone whose hand I would really like to shake. Can you even fathom the courage of that act? Could you do the same? Could you be prepared to die for your principles so calmly? That's what I call a hero. How can you not want to meet someone like that?
