My Movie Photo Montage

After returning from my mammoth Euro trip, I have had a couple of fabulous writing prompts to catch up on.

Being a lover of films and movie characters and after reading Paul Combs’s wonderful article below on the film characters he would love to be I couldn’t resist pondering on mine while I was on my holidays.

I then read Alex Markham’s always innovative take on the response below which is very musically based including a highly imaginative fifth choice. I loved it.

I have had movie heroes all my life, so it was a tough choice. Obviously, I would love to be the Boss (that is Bruce Springsteen and not my wife) but he is very real indeed, and I can’t sing or play any musical instrument, and let’s face it no one could replace the greatest rock icon in the music business.
