Why not Borges 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 36-year-old actor, as a 2025 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Borges 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 ‘Brazilian Of The Year’ by some major Brazilian newspapers and even ‘Rio de Janeiro Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Rio de Janeiro (Micael Borges' 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:
“#BorgesPOY. Logical choice though I wouldn't have made the same one.”

“Congrats! Micael has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”

“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Micael Borges?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 17 Mar 2025
Could 2025 officially be the Year of Micael Borges?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2025 Person of the Year.
