Question

.....who would that famous person be and why?

For me hopefully someone that would tell me why I born here!

I must have done something horribly wrong to end up here

The only person that can tell me why I was born here is my mom, so I guess she is the most famous person that can tell me why I was born here (and also the least famous person that can).


And on a deserted island, being famous (elsewhere) would not matter at all, and two people in that island would be equally famous (each one known by the whole population, or if they never met each one of them known by exactly half the population).

Are you asking what celebrity I'd take to a desolate island?



Frankly, I think I'd enjoy the "me time" and not invite anyone. Unless the island is big enough for both people to have their privacy and only meet when they wish.
In that case I'd probably invite a very idealistic person with whom I can have interesting debates. On the other hand, when you're stuck on that island you can hardly spread your ideals, so probably that'd be the frustrating part.

So maybe I would just not invite anyone and rather think of what food, drinks and other stuff I want to take with me.

I think if I am destined to be stuck on an island with only one person, I would want the option of reproducing, and eventually have some more people on the island (cute little people called "kids").

I would rather not be on a deserted island with any famous person. We would not get a long at all.
