Why not Gorman 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 51-year-old actor, as a 2026 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Gorman 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 ‘Briton Of The Year’ by some major British newspapers and even ‘Hollywood Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Hollywood (Burn Gorman'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:
“Burn Gorman Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 30 Dec 2025
“Congrats! Burn has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 30 Dec 2025
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Burn Gorman?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 30 Dec 2025
Could 2026 officially be the Year of Burn Gorman?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2026 Person of the Year.
Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2026?
