The Coolest Celebrity Of All Time?

[john_rambo]

Hey I thought this would be an awesome thread, us geniuses at JoBlo need to figure out who the coolest celebrity of all time is. Heres the ground rules.

1. You Get to choose ONE person, do not worry if the person has already been said, that helps us.
2. The top vote getters will get put into a poll after 1 week of votes. (If there is a HUGE amount of feedback... I may need help... but I will probably be able to do it on my own).
3. I do not count as a celebrity... so do not vote for me.
4. This phase will be open for one week... then I will make a poll of the top vote getters... and will keep that open for one week.
5. Please include a name and not just a picture so it will be easier to just go down when I tally nominations.
6. The celebrity with the most votes wins the coveted "JoBlo Coolest Celebrity of All Time Award!" Creative name... I know.

Anyway... let the games begin

Here is my vote

Frank Sinatra

[Ratlehed]

The coolest... KURT RUSSELL.

Escape from L.A., The Thing, Big Trouble in Little China, Tombstone, Tango & Cash, and Capt. Ron:D. To name a few. He's tough, funny, and he usually gets the girl.

[dennisv]

Always and forever...

If you had watched his special back recently that was aired in the 80s hosted by Johnny Carson, you would vote for the guy.

I can't pick just one so I'll throw out some for consideration. Yeah, they're all contemporary, but whatever... they're the only ones I can judge.

Nicholson

Willis

Steve McQueen

Warren Beatty

[CriticalAcclaim]

Samuel L. Jackson

[john_rambo]

well damnit pick one i need to know who to choose out of the group lol

[FLAME_ON]

well damnit pick one i need to know who to choose out of the group lol

Haha sorry man I can't pick just one, I just threw those out so other people could consider them.
But fuck it, tally me down for Jim Carrey.

No... Willis.


... I mean Clooney.


But, I choose Damon.

Or maybe Russell?... ;)

[Tayzlor]

Clooney is too smug for me...overbearingly so...but I can endorse Damon, he has always seemed like a level-headed, good-humored guy to hang with. And he consistenly chooses great roles. If more guys like him ruled Hollywood, we'd be in good shape.

And basically any role he takes means we don't have to see that bland Peter Pan DiCaprio occupying it instead. That guy has never been convincing in a Scorsese movie...this guy...Howard Hughes? Wha? I really cannot picture him in any adult roles.

To summarize:
Clooney - smug
Damon - cool
DiCaprio - lame

[Lindsey]

LOL! Trust me john, the whole 'pick 1' thing never works out. I've tried numerous times in past polls. :p

The first name that instantly came to mind:

Morgan Freeman

http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd257/somoneyproductions/freeman.jpg

And I know that we each have our own definition of cool. :cool: (Great thread BTW!)

I've got one that'll be probably just me voting for him... But I don't give a shit:

http://tgusta.es/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/13-5-61-dennis-rodman.jpg


I think Russell, Jack and Christian Bale are all way cool. But my vote is for "The Worm".

[The Postmaster General]

Nicholson

[SkyNet]

what constitutes cool?!

cuz if cool is giving up a huge portion of your salary so that the special effects on your movie can be completed.. well than, we must nominate Keanu Reeves (who by most reports is one hell of a dude)

if cool is Suave and comes off real chill... gotta go with Clooney or Nicholson!

[thedudeman69]

man, either Clooney or Ed Norton

He would be my choice too if this was 1997. ;) That when he dominated! Now the guy is something else. :(

[JJFlamingo]

[outsyder]

Christopher Walken. The man has a style all his own.

[john_rambo]

Count em and then start a tourney...:D

I am too stupid to even do the tourneys let alone start one lol.

[screamer581]

George Clooney may be the coolest person in the history of the world.

Morgan Freeman for sure - I bet that man has some knowledge! He gets my real vote, but only because I highly doubt anyone else will vote for the other 2.
http://www.blackfilm.com/i3/people/f/freemanmorgan/freeman.jpg

The other 2 aren't in acting and I guess are only famous in their circles - But I've spent quite some time with both and they are definatly some of the nicest, beautiful people around.

Anneke Van Giersbergen - This women know alot about music and has been in the genre a long time now. Plus, she has the most incredible voice that has ever existed.

Cristina Scabbia - Just incredible, one of the most impressive work ethics I know of... she always has time for everyone even now she is really in demand. Lots of charity work too - Cristina rules!
http://i.pbase.com/o4/92/229692/1/65202973.Yaq5OSQR.015b.jpg

Alot of the really big celebrities seem so inaccessible, its hard to imagine them in a normal light. And to me - to be the coolest celebrity is to act as if you arent one at all.... and most of the huge start don't do that very often.

See? I think that shit's fucking awesome. It's just so ridiculous and out there, and the fucking size of the man's BALLS to go out and do this.... I mean honestly. He's a fucking marketing genius! Plus, he's like a sponsor for online gambling, animal rights, watches and sunglasses and some other shit. I don't know, I've always been a fan. :D

[Lucky Denver]

johnny depp

You and I agree on something.

The dude seems so humble despite all the attention he gets. Still talks like a love stuck child about his girlfriend, left filming to stay by his sick daughters side, sent some kid he met on a set a gift package, reads to sick kids. Whats not fucking cool about this guy?

[BananaDancer]

I support the Morgan Freeman vote.

[Lindsey]

Morgan Freeman for the win! Great choices everyone! I forgot about Walken. Tom Hanks is another good candidate.

[CyclicNightmare]

So far this has proved one thing.

Women aren't cool.

[echo_bravo]

I'll go with Jack as well. He is the runaway favorite on here.

I like his I dont give a fuck attitude. It works well for him. Some celebs cant pull it off but Jack can. Dont get me wrong, he is a bit of an asshole too but an admirable one.:cool:

hahaha.. its pretty much a tie

[hasselbrad]

There's no doubt that all of these people are cool, but the guy in the first post is the Alpha and Omega when it comes to cool.
He was arrested for "carrying on with a married woman".
He could have someone "rubbed out".
He was the "Chairman of the Board".
He had to have special underwear made because his cock was so big.
It gets no cooler.
