According to a top source, Vanessa Kirby is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2024. But while the actress' fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.
UPDATE 08/09/2024 : This story seems to be false. (read more)
Why not Kirby 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 36-year-old actress, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Kirby 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 ‘English Of The Year’ by some major English newspapers and even ‘London Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in London (Vanessa Kirby'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:
“Vanessa Kirby Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 7 Sep 2024
“Great choice! Long overdue recognition for his talents. #LoveVanessa”
— @BarbaraHeyboer, 7 Sep 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Vanessa Kirby?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 7 Sep 2024
Could 2024 officially be the Year of Vanessa Kirby?
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?
