Why not Almeida 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 67-year-old actor, as a 2025 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Almeida 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 ‘Lisbon Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Lisbon (Joaquim de Almeida'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:
“Joaquim de Almeida Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 3 Jan 2025
“Congrats! Joaquim has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 3 Jan 2025
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Joaquim de Almeida?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 3 Jan 2025
Could 2025 officially be the Year of Joaquim de Almeida?
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?
