According to a well-placed source, Karen Gillan is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2025. But while the actress' fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.
UPDATE 18/12/2024 : This story seems to be false. (read more)
Why not Gillan 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 37-year-old actress, as a 2025 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Gillan so important is the potential and influence she now has, rather than anything she has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the actress have already been named ‘Scot Of The Year’ by some major Scottish newspapers and even ‘Inverness Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Inverness (Karen Gillan's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the actress was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“Karen Gillan Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 17 Dec 2024
“Great choice! Long overdue recognition for his talents. #LoveKaren”
— @BarbaraHeyboer, 17 Dec 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Karen Gillan?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 17 Dec 2024
Could 2025 officially be the Year of Karen Gillan?
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?
