According to a well-informed source, Miss Teen USA 1985 Kelly Hu 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 28/05/2025 : This story seems to be false. (read more)
Why not Hu 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 57-year-old actress, as a 2025 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Hu 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 ‘American Of The Year’ by some major American newspapers and even ‘Honolulu Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Honolulu (Kelly Hu'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:
“#HuPOY. Logical choice though I wouldn't have made the same one.”
— @TomMiller, 27 May 2025
“Great choice! Long overdue recognition for his talents. #LoveKelly”
— @BarbaraHeyboer, 27 May 2025
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Kelly Hu?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 27 May 2025
Could 2025 officially be the Year of Kelly Hu?
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?
