The Poland international, who believes his nation can spring a surprise at Euro 2016 next summer, hailed the former Gunners striker as a player he has always looked up to
The 27-year-old, who has been in sensational goalscoring form this season, recently finished fourth in the Ballon d'Or behind eventual winner Lionel Messi, runner-up Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar in third place.
And Lewandowski has spoken of his admiration for former Gunners striker Henry, who holds the record of being the club's all-time record goalscorer with 228 goals in 377 appearances.
He told Telefoot: "I've always tried to follow the example of Henry, my childhood hero. His technique, his celebrity, he has always impressed me."
The Poland international played a pivotal role in his country's qualification through to Euro 2016 in France this summer, finishing top goalscorer with 13 goals - and he insists they will fear no team.
"Winning the Euros? Perhaps it's too early," he continued. "But our team doesn't fear anyone. It will be a great event. I hope Poland will be the surprise."
