According to a reliable source, Julian McMahon is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2020. But while the actor's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.
UPDATE 05/07/2020 : This story seems to be false. (read more)
Why not McMahon 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 51-year-old actor, as a 2020 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes McMahon 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 ‘Australian Of The Year’ by some major Australian newspapers and even ‘Sydney Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Sydney (Julian McMahon'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:
“Julian McMahon Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 4 Jul 2020
“Congrats! Julian has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 4 Jul 2020
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Julian McMahon?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 4 Jul 2020
Could 2020 officially be the Year of Julian McMahon?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2020 Person of the Year.
Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2020?
