Why not Raba 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 49-year-old actor, as a 2021 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Raba 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 ‘Colombian Of The Year’ by some major Colombian newspapers and even ‘Bogotá Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Bogotá (Juan Pablo Raba'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:
“Juan Pablo Raba Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”

“Great choice! Long overdue recognition for his talents. #LoveJuan Pablo”

“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Juan Pablo Raba?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 13 Jun 2021
Could 2021 officially be the Year of Juan Pablo Raba?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2021 Person of the Year.
