This is more than just a fun question. By hearing about your hero, the interviewer will learn about someone you look up to and model yourself after or aspire to be. This will help your interviewer better determine how well you would fit in among the rest of their teams. So, give them what they are after, and make the question easy for them. Have fun with this question and show them who you are and who you admire or look up to. Be yourself.
