Who is the World's Coolest Man?
Discussion
I still treasure the Glasto moment when Kanye asserted that he is the Greatest Living Rock Star, not long before giving up the stage to The Who. Bless!
Heck, Kanye isn't even the World's Coolest Hip Hop artist.
More politicians needed, maybe - Konrad Adenauer (above) is a good shout. Vaclav Havel? Francois Mitterrand?

I've had a proper think about this...
First I "did a Google" and it threw up a load of try too hard rockers (although Dave Grohl is very, very cool) and a bunch of rich twunt primrose hill kids, nah achieved nothing, done nothing.
So I thought some more...
my answer is:
Sir Christopher Lee.
Film Acting - he IS Dracula, plus Scaramanga - a cool Bond Baddie and Saruman - he was in the Star Wars Prequels, but he was at least very good in them - as a movie Actor, playing in pivotal role in 3 HUGE franchises is an achievement.
Military Career, - he joined WW2, ordinally volunteering to fight for Finland against the USSR and later joined the RAF and almost qualified as a pilot before a failed optic nerve grounded him for life, he bummed around various bases before he decided to "do something constructive for my keep" and joined RAF Intelligence and somehow managed to contract Malaria 6 times in a year without dying and climbed Mount Vesuvius, which promptly erupted 3 days later. He finished his service hunting Nazi War Criminals, he tours concentration camps and was handing folders containing reports of what these people had done and was told to hunt them. At times he was attached to the Gurkhas, the SEO, the Long Range Desert Group and the SAS.
He was in Death Metal bands in his 90s. Dated Countesses and had to seek permission from the King of Sweden to marry, and won Best Dressed Awarded long into old age.
The list of anecdotes goes on and on, he was supposedly at the last public execution in France, instructed a director the ‘correct’ way to being stabbed to death (something he’s either witness or took part in).
He had a really laid back charm and I can never imagine being anything less than completely enthralled in his company.
