According to a well-informed source, Charlize Theron 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.

Why not Theron 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 49-year-old actress, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Theron 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 ‘South African Of The Year’ by some major South African newspapers and even ‘Benoni Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Benoni (Charlize Theron's 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:
“Charlize Theron Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 23 Nov 2024
“Congrats! Charlize has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 23 Nov 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Charlize Theron?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 23 Nov 2024
Could 2024 officially be the Year of Charlize Theron?
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?
