According to a credible source, Hans Klok is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2025. But while the illusionist's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.

Why not Klok 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 56-year-old illusionist, as a 2025 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Klok 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 illusionist have already been named ‘Dutch Of The Year’ by some major Dutch newspapers and even ‘Purmerend Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Purmerend (Hans Klok's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the illusionist was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“#KlokPOY. Logical choice though I wouldn't have made the same one.”
— @TomMiller, 11 May 2025
“Great choice! Long overdue recognition for his talents. #LoveHans”
— @BarbaraHeyboer, 11 May 2025
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Hans Klok?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 11 May 2025
Could 2025 officially be the Year of Hans Klok?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2025 Person of the Year.
Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2025?
