    Jesus, so I could get to the bottom of who he is.

    Donald Trump, so he could teach me about money.

    Virginia Woolf, to pick her brain.

    Vincent Price so he could use his culinary expertise to cook us a meal.

    Suzanne Pleshette so that I could tell her to eat up and not bother about her weight so much. I would assure that she looked gorgeous anyway.

    Alfred Hitchcock because I know he liked food and he would keep us entertained with his anecdotes.

    Just three makes it such a difficult question to answer, but when I think about it:

    I'd have my long since departed dear Grandmother, who taught me how to love, about spirituality and all about dogs.  It would be such a treat to see her and spend time with her again.  But I cannot pick her because she is not famous.

    So,

    The Dalai Lama, he is always an oasis of calm and to meet him would be incredible.

    Nelson Mandela a modern day hero who would have so much wisdom to share.

    Finally, Idris Elba who played Nelson Mandela in the film.

    1) James McAvoy - There was a moment in a talk show where a co-actor was placed 9th in a worldwide countdown , and James got 88 or something like that. In the next year James ended up being 3rd in the same countdown, the co-actor had pretty bad position. How it felt at that time? How even after ending a long marriage life you managed to handle success and remained humbled every time while cherishing every down and up of life. What lesson he has got from hard times and would like to suggest to his fan.

    2) Benedict Cumberbatch - Would like to discuss - What it feels like to stand up on a stage and from the darkness in front you feel the eyes, they are watching you and trying to find your fault in your every move but you do what you were meant to do in perfection? How it feels the way things got changed overnight after Sherlock? How to balance life with success and family? Are you ever going to come to India / Darjeeling?

    3) Keanu Reeves - I would like to know - How to stay with happiness even after losing everything? How not to hamper a career life with personal downs. How not to care about what people will say and do whatever feels right to do.

    I am sorry, I know my answer should have contained more depth but they are people with whom I would like to have my dinner with.

    I would have to say Edgar Allan Poe lol.
    He wasn't great in peoples' eyes, but I feel like I would want to get to know him more. He was very unusual yet, brings about a vibe, I think I could try to study lol. He kind of interests me.

    Mary - I'd love to know how she felt accepting the choice of becoming the mother of Jesus and how she lived a life of obedience to her God despite the challenges that came her way in the course of her son's ministry

    Queen Catherine of Aragon - It took years and the changing of an entire nation's religion before her husband Henry VIII managed to get a divorce from her.  She must have been a formidable woman to have endured so much pressure from a man who can order your death at a whim.

    Julie Andrews - She led quite an extraordinary music,film and stage career.  It will be great to hear her story in her own magnificent voice.

    Zoran Đinđić, a man who witnessed all the bad things happening to our contry and who was a living proof of the intelligence and wisdom, that we, unfortunately, didn't know to respect.

    Kanye West, the genius of our era, guy who knows everything but is being put on the side for telling the truth.Hopefully, USAs next president.

    Adolf Hitler, one of the most intriguing and insane minds in history, man who had done so many horrible things but still was so smart.

    Jesus Christ- To find out the true meaning of life and what really happens after the world ends.

    Abraham Lincoln- Interesting to meet the man who ended slavery and changed the course of history and one of the greatest presidents in my opinion. Plus we share the same birthday so maybe we have other things in common as well.

    Marilyn Monroe- Probably the most beautiful woman in the world to this day. So many years after her death and she is still remembered because she left such a mark on the entertainment world. I have read so much about her and find her truly fascinating. I would ask her how she really died and all the mystery surrounding her life.

    Gordon Ramsay, Rick Astley, and  John Candy.

    Why?

    Gordon would yell about the quality of the meal, Rick will sing "never gonna give you up" in the background, and John Candy will laugh contagiously and it would be funny af.

    Gandhi: I would love to hear his thoughts on how to continue fighting racism and discrimination in a world that is STILL plagued with these diseases. I truly believe racism is a cancer and it will destroy us if we don't something about us.  Each one of us has a duty. Gandhi had strived to make things better for black people in South Africa.  He also helped India gain independence from the British.
    Albert Einstein: I will ask him one question: how could we convince world leaders to not choose war in any case.  He was an anti war activist and he wrote letters to many leaders trying to convince them not to wage war.  He used to explain it by showing how is it counterproductive on all accounts for any country to wage war against another nation.  And of course because he was very poetic, he saw the beauty in everything that we cannot see.
    Jesus Christ: I would love to learn his approach to life.  So much humility and love towards everyone.  Even people who do not believe that he was appointed by a supreme power are in awe of him historically.  He was an angel, a saint, a messiah, a prophet, a Buddha and a beautiful human being.

    Jesus Christ. I'm not Christian, but I would like to meet a person that is so charismatic that started one of the most powerful religions around the world. Besides, he was the most wonderful and brave person if what the Bible says of him is true, so I would be very glad to meet him.
    Leonardo DaVinci. I'm a great admirer of his work and I think he was so intelligent and wise that it would be great to have a conversation with him about his art. Also, the Gioconda has always been a great mystery (why he sold all his pieces of art except that one), and I would like to ask him about it.
    Freddie Mercury, to thank him. Queen is one of the most wonderful bands ever. I grew up listening to their songs and, later, when I started to feel interested about the song lyrics, they made me feel special and confident.

    Besides, other people I would love to meet are Napoleon, Van Gogh, Alexander the Great, Ernest Hemingway, Nietzsche, Plato, Einstein, Joan of Arc and Stanley Kubrick.

    Ah, wow what a cruel limit!!  In present mood my three would be-

    1. Jane Austen- For politeness, tips and to probadly interrogate the poor lady about her life, influences and those characters she so lovingly moulded.

    2. Sir Alex Ferguson (Football Manager)- For conversation about life and football.  A clever man, Scottish people are historically great linguists, he tells stories so well.  Would add a good dose of humour too.

    3. Gandhi- No real explanation needed.  Would be so much in awe, I would surely only listen!  Be interesting to find out if he did have an Irish lilt when speaking english.

    Stephen Hawking, John Lennon and Neil deGrasse Tyson. I am very interested in astrophysics and music so that's why I would chose them.

    i guess i would chose Micheal Jackson, i always loved his dancing music and always wondered how he smells.
    then Madonna because i think she is the type of a person you can have deep conversations with and end it with a big love hug.
    And finally i will chose Paulo Coelho as he is one of my favourite writers, i could ask him few questions and thank him for the great books he has.

    I'm not going to go with Jesus or other popular choices because I think all of the information I "need" to know is already published and available. I would take Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama out to one elaborate dinner at Hooters just to see how they would interact with the environment and each other.

    1. I would like to meet Queen Cartimandua of Roman Britain to ask why she did not join her Brigante with Boudicca's Iceni against the Roman Empire. Also what happened to her. She faded from history.

    2. I would like to meet Judas Iscariot and ask him why he betrayed Jesus Christ.

    3. I would also like to meet Jesus Christ and ask what he thinks of all the dreadful things that came about because of devotion to him. I mean things like the Spanish Inquisition, people burnt at the stake, the Crusades etc.

    My picks are:

    J.K. Rowling: I am a huge fan of the Harry Potter series and I would love to get the chance to meet her and talk about our favourite parts of the books and talk to her about her life. She has had a huge impact on my life growing up and I would like to tell her how much I appreciate everything she has done for me, even if she didn't know that she had done anything at all.

    Emma Watson: This is partially due to the fact that she plays two of my favourite characters of all time, Hermione Granger and Belle from Beauty and the Beast (in the newer film), and partially due to the fact that I am a member of her book club, Our Shared Shelf. She is an amazing human who is fighting for the rights of her fellow humans. She is well educated and bloody fantastic!

    Vincent van Gogh: He was always been one of my favourite artists and I would love to be able to talk to him about his life and his travels and his amazing artwork. Plus talking to him about mental health would be a very interesting conversation. Maybe even talk to him about some of the advancements that we have made in regards to mental health since his time.

    The Apostle Paul, Vincent van Gogh, and Mary Magdalene.

    I could sit for hours, even days listening to Paul's spiritual insights and his missionary journey experiences. He was such an on-fire man for the Lord.

    Vincent van Gogh is such an inspirational man. He had a brilliant mind, a deep, broken soul, and his wisdom and perceptions of life are inspiring.

    Mary Magdalene because of her devout love for Jesus and how he impacted her life. What is must have been like to follow Him and be at the cross and His resurrection.
    Great question and enjoying answers.
