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

Why not Dupont 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 38-year-old actor, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.

“What makes Dupont so important is the potential and influence he now has, rather than anything he has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the actor have already been named ‘French Of The Year’ by some major French newspapers and even ‘Saint-Mandé Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Saint-Mandé (Arthur Dupont's hometown).

Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year

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

“#DupontPOY. Logical choice though I wouldn't have made the same one.”
— @TomMiller, 15 Apr 2024
“Congrats! Arthur has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 15 Apr 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Arthur Dupont?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 15 Apr 2024

Could 2024 officially be the Year of Arthur Dupont?

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?
