Why not Olstead 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 35-year-old actress, as a 2025 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Olstead 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 ‘Kingwood Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Kingwood (Renee Olstead'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:
“Renee Olstead Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 21 Feb 2025
“Congrats! Renee has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 21 Feb 2025
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Renee Olstead?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 21 Feb 2025
Could 2025 officially be the Year of Renee Olstead?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2025 Person of the Year.
