my idol vs my hero

Both 'my idol' and 'my hero' are correct phrases, but they are used in slightly different contexts. 'My idol' is typically used to refer to someone you admire and look up to, often a famous person or celebrity. On the other hand, 'my hero' is used to describe someone who has done something brave, noble, or admirable. The choice between the two depends on whether you are emphasizing admiration and inspiration ('my idol') or courage and heroism ('my hero').
