Why not Wu 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 50-year-old actor, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Wu 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 ‘ Of The Year’ by some major newspapers and even ‘Hong Kong Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Hong Kong (Daniel Wu'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:
“Daniel Wu Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 23 Nov 2024
“Congrats! Daniel 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 Daniel Wu?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 23 Nov 2024
Could 2024 officially be the Year of Daniel Wu?
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?
