Why not Lamotte 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 77-year-old actor, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Lamotte 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 ‘French Of The Year’ by some major French newspapers and even ‘Paris Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Paris (Martin Lamotte'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:
“Martin Lamotte Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”

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

“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Martin Lamotte?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 20 Nov 2024
Could 2024 officially be the Year of Martin Lamotte?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2024 Person of the Year.
