Why not Chokri 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 44-year-old actress, as a 2026 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Chokri 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 ‘Quebecer Of The Year’ by some major newspapers and even ‘Québec Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Québec (Monia Chokri'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:
“#ChokriPOY. Logical choice though I wouldn't have made the same one.”

“Congrats! Monia has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 27 Aug 2026
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Monia Chokri?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 27 Aug 2026
Could 2026 officially be the Year of Monia Chokri?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2026 Person of the Year.
