In the artist category name Drew Barrymore. An actress, producer, director, entrepreneur, she is a multifaceted person who “never takes no for an answer”, “never afraid” and “loves a challenge”. Here’s how Jimmy Fallon describes it for the magazine. “When I say that this woman can do everything in the world, I mean that this woman can do everything in the world. Do you want a beauty line? She did it and it made her big. He did it and he succeeded. Do you want to create a line of home goods? He did it and he succeeded. Interested in hosting your own daytime talk show?

Drew Barrymore never sees anything impossible.” Eat to keep her company Michael Jordan, the former American basketball player featured on this year’s cover, and the protagonist of Creed III, the ninth chapter of the Rocky Balboa saga and his directorial debut.

Icons
In the icon category we find Ke Hai QuanAcademy Award for Best Supporting Actor in a All Everywhere All at once. A big and unexpected comeback after youthful and isolated performances in Indiana Jones AND Goonies. His inspiring speech about believing in your dreams moved everyone, and his embrace with Harrison Ford on stage at the Dolby Theater was like a finale directed by Spielberg. The magazine credits him with “extraordinary mercy”, “kindness” and “patience”. “Her positivity — her struggle to keep her dreams alive — is a deep spiritual strength. These qualities are her unique gifts. The world has finally recognized them.” icon also King Charles, an experienced networker, a man of great culture and deep sensitivity to the religions of the world. We must recognize his relentless commitment to the environment, which he has always tried to protect and preserve, including through his own Foundation. “As a man, the king is not always what people expect him to be,” writes British Vogue editor Edward Enninful in Time. […] The monarchy is not perfect, but in Charles we have a king who understands both tradition and what it takes to keep up with the times. It’s a delicate balance and a rare skill.”
Pioneers
In the list of Pioneers we find a skier Michaela Shiffrinwho, after two Olympic gold medals and five World Cup titles, won his 87th World Cup race on March 11 this year, surpassing the all-time record set by Swede Ingemar Stenmark.

Leader
She is the leader Elena Zelenskaya, wife of the President of Ukraine. Her profile is entrusted to the memory of Jill Biden, who traveled to the border last year to meet her. “I met the First Lady last Mother’s Day in a small town close to her country’s borders, just a few months after Russia’s unprovoked war of aggression began. We embraced instinctively: two mothers, two peoples, united for peace. In suspense for her I saw her heaviness in her smile, a dream lost to the roar of falling bombs, tales of atrocities she would never forget. Yet in her eyes was the fierce determination and dignity that distinguished his people. […] She did not expect that she would become a warrior for the Ukrainian people, but she answered this call with selfless courage.” Elena “is a beacon of hope for the people she loves.”
Titans
Name stands out in the ranking Lionel Messi, who, at the age of 35, achieved victory with his Argentina at the last World Cup in Qatar: “an outstanding moment in sports, witnessed around the world. Even those who don’t follow football must have understood the true impact of the most popular game in the world,” writes another champion, such as Roger Federer. “Don’t blink too much when Messi is on the pitch. You might be missing out on something incredible from the man of the day.” Controversial titans too Elon Muskimmediately after the recent purchase of Twitter, and beyoncé, winner of 32 Grammy Awards, surpassing the late classical conductor Sir Georg Solti. “Beyoncé’s fearlessness, talent, beauty and artistry will continue to influence and inspire black female artists for millennia.” Word DJ Honey Dijon.
innovators
At the World Cup, he was a direct rival to Lionel Messi, with whom he was able to keep up to the end, bringing France one step closer to victory. Just for this Kylian Mbappe deserves a place among the innovators of the year. Time calls him a “living fairy tale” and notes that “Despite his incredible fame, Mbappé inherited three family truths from his mother that keep him grounded: ‘Respect, Humility, Clarity’.” He has a realistic vision of fame.” . And this will allow him to achieve all his future goals.
