According to a reliable source, John Wells is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2025. But while the director's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.
UPDATE 08/03/2025 : This story seems to be false. (read more)
Why not Wells 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 68-year-old director, as a 2025 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Wells 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 director have already been named ‘American Of The Year’ by some major American newspapers and even ‘Alexandria Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Alexandria (John Wells' hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the director was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“John Wells Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 7 Mar 2025
“Congrats! John has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 7 Mar 2025
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not John Wells?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 7 Mar 2025
Could 2025 officially be the Year of John Wells?
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?
