According to a top source, Lucy Lawless is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2024. But while the actress' fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.

UPDATE 24/04/2024 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Why not Lawless for Person of the Year?

The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 56-year-old actress, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.

“What makes Lawless so important is the potential and influence she now has, rather than anything she has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the actress have already been named ‘New Zealander Of The Year’ by some major newspapers and even ‘Auckland Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Auckland (Lucy Lawless' hometown).

Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year

A representative for the actress was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:

“Lucy Lawless Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 23 Apr 2024
“Congrats! Lucy has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 23 Apr 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Lucy Lawless?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 23 Apr 2024

Could 2024 officially be the Year of Lucy Lawless?

Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2024 Person of the Year.

Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2024?
