PS:

(1) You can't nominate yourself.

(2) It's Archer, I suppose.

Samuel L. Jackson or Miguel Angel Jimenez.

Half of them are dead. How cool is that?

At the moment? If talking global popularity then Drake is probably a contender since he is dominating popular music now for a while. Not many could get away with that Hotline Bling video either.

[Unexpected Item In Bagging Area]

Jenson Button has to be a contender

First rule of actually being cool is that you can't think you are cool 'cause that's not cool. Did that make sense?

Thats fight club.

Many of the past holders did otherwise. Prince for example clearly thought he was cool, and he was.

I've always thought that Robert Downey Junior is pretty bit cool.

He's British
He appears to be "in vogue"
He has a town named after him



He has the best name

That was going to be my serious answer.

One of the scientists at the South Pole is probably the coolest man currently...In fact he must be bloody freezing!

Prince? He tried too hard. You're not cool if you try too hard.
Steve McQueen? Wasn't he an alcoholic wife beater? That's not cool.

Prince Charles?

Robert Evans..



Quite a life. His epic "The Kid Stays in the Picture" bio is the best book I've ever read.

Musk.

No matter how uncool he might seem public speaking or getting eco grant money the guy has a space rocket company. That's a big level up from retired actors flying their own planes.

+1

Just having a rocket company pretty much beats out anyone else - then add a car company and being a billionaire
