Why not Carmack 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 45-year-old actor, as a 2026 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Carmack 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 ‘American Of The Year’ by some major American newspapers and even ‘Washington, D.C. Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Washington, D.C. (Chris Carmack'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:
“Chris Carmack Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 28 Dec 2025
“Congrats! Chris has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 28 Dec 2025
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Chris Carmack?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 28 Dec 2025
Could 2026 officially be the Year of Chris Carmack?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2026 Person of the Year.
