Hi Mike,
Thanks for the email. I didn't know you were interested in Canadian pop culture. I guess one of my favorite Canadian celebrities is Jian Ghomeshi. He's a popular radio host on CBC Radio (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation). He hosts the morning arts and entertainment show called Q. He's of Iranian decent and many women find him very attractive. Although he's not my type, I can see why. His dark hair, his five o'clock shadow, the twinkle in his eye, and the sparkle in his smile all radiate a certain charm. I however like him for his interview style. He asks intelligent and thoughtful questions. His interviews are deep and probing. You can tell he has a passion for all of the arts. He's actually got a podcast if you want to see what he is all about. I'm pretty sure you'll be taken by his silky voice.
Let me know what you think.
Akira
