Why not Loren 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 90-year-old actress, as a 2025 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Loren 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 ‘Italian Of The Year’ by some major Italian newspapers and even ‘Pozzuoli Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Pozzuoli (Sophia Loren'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:
“#LorenPOY. Logical choice though I wouldn't have made the same one.”

“Great choice! Long overdue recognition for his talents. #LoveSophia”
— @BarbaraHeyboer, 17 Dec 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Sophia Loren?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 17 Dec 2024
Could 2025 officially be the Year of Sophia Loren?
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?
