Why not Addy 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 58-year-old actor, as a 2022 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Addy 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 ‘English Of The Year’ by some major English newspapers and even ‘York Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in York (Mark Addy'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:
“Mark Addy Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 18 May 2022
“Congrats! Mark has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 18 May 2022
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Mark Addy?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 18 May 2022
Could 2022 officially be the Year of Mark Addy?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2022 Person of the Year.
