Introduction:1

 

A foreigner about whom I have heard about and is interesting according to me is

Alvaro Morté. He is a Spanish actor and very recently he has gained worldwide

recognition playing the character of a ‘Professor’. This actor is a mastermind of a

famous web series ‘Money Heist’ which is aired on Netflix. Very few people know

his real name and everyone likes to call him the Professor.

I know about the Professor because of his popular web series and his impressive

role play in it. I am fond of him and as soon as I saw him I became his fan. H is very

handsome and charming and has an appealing persona. I have heard that he is a

very kind and a generous human being. . He is approximately 45 years old and is an

amazing actor. He is a versatile and a skilled actor.

Well, I think this person is interesting because in not time he became popular due

to his acting skills. In spite of playing the mastermind behind a robbery he styles

caught everyone’s attention around the world. His dialogue delivery and reflection

of values in the show are impressive and vivacious.

I have watched all the seasons of Money Heist only because of the Professor. I like

his spectacles and hairstyle a lot. His character teaches a lot if we have the readiness

to learn. It is portrayed in such a way that everyone wants to be like him. I wish to

see more of his films and series and meet him someday if I get a chance.

He is the person who always remains in the limelight as the media tries to bring everything in public related to him. At the same time, he remains extremely active on social media, especially Twitter. Several things make this person quite interesting.

Firstly his curiosity towards space travel he owns a company named SpaceX with a mission to make it possible to travel in space in the near future. His imagination has no boundaries that’s why he often comes up with ideas that others find unrealistic.

He is often invited as a guest lecturer, and I always listen to his speeches available on youtube, which are extremely interesting and influential. He also believes that technology is going to change the world completely in the future, and that’s why he owns Tesla, the only company that manufactures robotic cars.

Although the car is not yet available in my country, I’m eager to feel the experience of sitting in a driverless car. In addition, this person is interesting because he has a very comical nature, and even his jokes are worth billions of dollars.

For example, sometimes ago, he started his cryptocurrency DOGE coin as a joke, and today this coin is worth billions. Elon musk has seven children, which is also quite interesting because he wants to change society’s perception while reading an article on him.

Conclusion:

So today, I’d take this opportunity to talk about a man who has been my idol and has had a profound impact on my personality. He is none other than Ravi Singh Khalsa. He is a British Citizen.

He also stepped in to provide relief to flood victims in multiple Indian states impacted in the 2019 Indian floods.  Another main reason why I like him so much is that he is a very down-to-earth person. He is a prime example on this planet that one can achieve anything they want with the virtues of persistence and hard work.  He has travelled to the front-line around the world including Kosovo, Syria, Congo, Somalia, Syria, Iraq, as well as help communities closer to home in the UK during the floods.

Introduction 6

 

Who this person is?

Being a voracious reader, I have heard about many foreign persons. In my opinion, the most interesting personality among them is Mr Elon Musk.

How do you know him/her? 

Five years back, I watched a documentary on his life. From that day I became a big fan of him.

What kind of person he/she is?

He was born in South Africa. Now he is a citizen of the united states of America.

He is one of the most unorthodox entrepreneurs of the contemporary epoch. His success thrives primarily on the key personality traits that drive him to lead his life towards an impressive growth trajectory.

Explain why you think he/she is interesting?

He is an interesting person because he has this uncanny knack for going beyond the conventional domain. Due to this habit, he has planned to give a tough competition to NASA, by foraying into the Space Exploration domain.

Unlike other business people, his focus is not on strengthening his bottom line, rather he focuses on solving the pressing problems of planet earth.

Moreover, he has not confined himself to one business. Apart from space exploration, he has a keen interest in automobiles as well. He is the owner of Tesla Motors that produces the best electric car in the world named “TESLA“.

Introduction 7

Who this person is?

Although I know many foreign persons, a few of them are interesting. The foreign person I admire the most and whom I find interesting is Reuben Singh. 

How do you know him/her? 

He came into the limelight in the year 2017 when he carved out a niche for himself by posting seven pictures online, each with a different colour of Rolls-Royce, showcasing a matching turban. He termed it as the ‘turban challenge’. 

His pictures immediately went viral on social media, and after that, he has increased the number of Rolls-Royce models he possesses! In 2019, he showed his opulent lifestyle by posting pictures of his six brand new Rolls-Royce cars. The latest entries to his collection consist of three Phantom sedans and three Cullinan SUVs. 

What kind of person he/she is?

He is not only a religious person but also a seasoned entrepreneur. He pays excessive heed to this identity as a devoted Sikh, and he always goes beyond the conventional domain to protect his pride.

Explain why you think he/she is interesting?

 Reuben Singh had experienced racist comments racial while talking to an Englishman regarding his turban. And to give a suitable reply, Mr Singh threw a challenge of matching the colour of his turban with his Rolls Royce for a week.

 Being a man of his words and pride, he fulfilled his promise. This brave act was more than enough to silence those who judge others for their religious beliefs and sentiments. 

He sounds interesting to me because rather than crying about the racial slur he received, he gave a befitting reply unconventionally.
