According to a top source, the former Miss France Camille Cerf is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2024. But while the model's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.

UPDATE 05/11/2024 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Why not Cerf 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 29-year-old model, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.

“What makes Cerf 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 model have already been named ‘French Of The Year’ by some major French newspapers and even ‘Calais Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Calais (Camille Cerf's hometown).

Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year

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

“Camille Cerf Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 4 Nov 2024
“Great choice! Long overdue recognition for his talents. #LoveCamille”
— @BarbaraHeyboer, 4 Nov 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Camille Cerf?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 4 Nov 2024

Could 2024 officially be the Year of Camille Cerf?

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?
