According to a credible source, Derek Jacobi is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2024. But while the actor's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.

Why not Jacobi 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 86-year-old actor, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Jacobi 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 ‘English Of The Year’ by some major English newspapers and even ‘Leytonstone Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Leytonstone (Derek Jacobi'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:
“Derek Jacobi Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 1 Nov 2024
“Congrats! Derek has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 1 Nov 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Derek Jacobi?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 1 Nov 2024
Could 2024 officially be the Year of Derek Jacobi?
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?
