According to a well-informed source, Richard Gutierrez is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2024. But while the actor's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.
UPDATE 22/11/2024 : This story seems to be false. (read more)
Why not Gutierrez 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 40-year-old actor, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Gutierrez 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 ‘Filipino Of The Year’ by some major Filipino newspapers and even ‘Beverly Hills Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Beverly Hills (Richard Gutierrez'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:
“Richard Gutierrez Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 21 Nov 2024
“Great choice! Long overdue recognition for his talents. #LoveRichard”
— @BarbaraHeyboer, 21 Nov 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Richard Gutierrez?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 21 Nov 2024
Could 2024 officially be the Year of Richard Gutierrez?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2024 Person of the Year.
Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2024?
