Why not Tonioli 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 68-year-old dancer, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Tonioli 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 dancer have already been named ‘Italian Of The Year’ by some major Italian newspapers and even ‘Ferrara Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Ferrara (Bruno Tonioli's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the dancer was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“#TonioliPOY. Logical choice though I wouldn't have made the same one.”

“Congrats! Bruno has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”

“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Bruno Tonioli?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 18 Apr 2024
Could 2024 officially be the Year of Bruno Tonioli?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2024 Person of the Year.
