Why not Cyler 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 30-year-old actor, as a 2025 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Cyler 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 ‘American Of The Year’ by some major American newspapers and even ‘Jacksonville Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Jacksonville (RJ Cyler'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:
“RJ Cyler Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 27 Mar 2025
“Congrats! RJ has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 27 Mar 2025
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not RJ Cyler?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 27 Mar 2025
Could 2025 officially be the Year of RJ Cyler?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2025 Person of the Year.
Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2025?
