Time magazine’s 2019 list of the 100 most influential people debuted Wednesday and was dominated by celebrities and celebrity tributes.
Singer Shawn Mendes paid tribute to Swift, “Wonder Woman” star Gal Gadot wrote an essay on Johnson, filmmaker Ava DuVernay saluted King, Hillary Rodham Clinton wrote an appreciation for Pelosi, showrunner Shonda Rhimes penned an piece about Oh and “Last Week Tonight” host John Oliver praised Salah.
Beyoncé wrote a short essay on Michelle Obama, actor-philanthropist Leonardo DiCaprio saluted conservationist Jane Goodall, and Justin Timberlake honored golfer Tiger Woods. “We all have teachers, some we know intimately, others who inspire from the page or the screen. This holds true even for the most accomplished people on earth,” Time Editor in Chief Edward Felsenthal said in a statement. “Our annual Time 100 issue is filled with tributes from teachers to students; in many cases, the surprise is who is playing which role today.”
In the icons category, filmmaker Jordan Peele wrote his essay on director Spike Lee and Celine Dion sang the praises of fellow singer Lady Gaga. Twitter mayor and cookbook author Chrissy Teigen and “Patriot Act” host Hasan Minhaj were the celebrity names categorized under pioneers. Essays honoring them were written by acclaimed chef Eric Ripert and “The Daily Show” host Trevor Noah, respectively.
