Who's the 'Coolest' Guy in the world?

When Frank Sinatra died a local radio host asked the question, "Now that Frank Sinatra is dead, who is the coolest guy in the world?"

I've been pondering that question on and off ever since.

So, I ask you, who is the coolest guy in the world?

(Tip: anyone who wears a 'crispy' ball cap with the bill unworked, is too big, and is worn at angle: a Hip-Hop 'artist' is, by nature, not qualified.)

      I love Johnny Depp. However, when you see him in interviews, he comes across as awkward, uncomfortable and agitated. His hybrid British/American accent comes across as odd. Not odd in a "cool" way, just odd.
      Still love him though. Not my idea of cool though.

          really? are you serious about this? come on people!

          I would very much like to cut my own arm and feed it to the lions rather than accepting the fact that this is the "coolest guy" ......in the world.

    But just in case anybody notices that the photo is not real, then my vote is for Samuel L. Jackson as the ultimate Mr. Cool!

    (With nods to Johnny Depp as a close contender for the position.)

    And I agree with bravo75 about that Dusty Biever guy!

          I dunno, Terra. I'm not sure what the costume is for, so I'd like to reserve judgement until I know if he's just performing a part in a kids show. 'Cause if you take all the ribbons and pink off of him and put him in some low riding jeans - I'm thinking he'd be a pretty sweet treat. But he's not Depp.

          Bravo - I can't hear even a hint of British in Depp's accent. He's pretty idiosyncratic actually.

            He certainly would be eye candy in some low riding jeans, but I'm not sure I'd take my granddaughters to a show where the unicorn guy is showing his bare derriere! (perfectly shaped derriere, aside!)

    I like Johnny Depp. Great actor and a pretty cool guy in general.

    But, I'm thinking more along the lines of George Thorogood.
    I think the 'coolest' guy in the world would have to be a musician.
    Most likely Blues or jazz.

        Ummm...I think I know Mcqueen and Dean are dead. Cool transcends life. Let's see if anyone talks about Waits 50 years after he dies?

        And Dirty Harry is merely one cool character Clint played. Clint changed the way movie heros were portrayed forever, blurring the good guy/bad guy tradition, influencing all action stars that followed...Not to mention, Clint's directed a number of movies, so he's more than a fictional character.

        Plus Waits isn't even the coolest musican. I can think of a bunch of bluesman far cooler than Waits.



        Johnny Cash is also cooler than Waits:


        Jeff Beck is cooler than Waits:


        To be cool, you have to do more than put on a white tee shirt and smoke a cigarette. James Dean did that 55 years ago.

      He does get my vote for the biggest party guy.
      After all, I live just north of Cincinnati, the home of the Parrot Heads.
      But, although cool, and at the top of the list of people I would love hang with, I don't think his 'cool' rating compares with Thorogood or Waits.

    The coolest guy for me in the world is Kofi Anan. To be able to make such a huge difference to so many lives around the world is just touching and to me that's way too cool. It's not about the looks, the money or the cars. For me its about the influence you had in creating a better world.

      Slap scene from Trinity is still my name - YouTube
      Have to admit that's a great scene.
      He ranks with the "baddest" along with Dirty Harry, or the nameless Eastwood characters in the spaghetti westerns.
      But not among the coolest.

      Damn! You almost pulled it off. But, one small mistake gave you away, proving you are not the coolest guy in the world.

      Maybe in the top 20, but not #1.

        Here's my issue with Hef: he wouldn't be surrounded by beautiful women
        without all his cash. And even with it he wa still left at the alter.

        The coolest man in the world doesn't need cash to get the ladies and he
        most certainly wouldn't be left at the alter.

        Now, if this were a competition for "most enviable life," he'd have shot.

          Hef's 'coolness' is what got him his empire.
          Believe it or not ladies, Playboy truly IS much more than the photos.
          Playboy isn't available in brail for nothing.

        Of course "cool," or any other descriptor, is subjective, but I maintain that being cool is is more than just being different or weird. Cool, real cool, transends fads and stereotypes, and has a timeless quality to it.

        Cool isn't a cry for attention, but draws attention through an inner quality. If you have to turn yourself into a freak to get attention, you're not cool, you're just a freak.

              Not necessarily. 'Cool' doesn't need to be synonymous with fame.

                OK - I think social entrepreneurs are cool. They come up with ways to help a social problem and some make a change and profit in many ways....Social entrepreneurship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia in their neighborhood or around the world - What is a Social Entrepreneur? | Ashoka - Innovators for the Public

                For instance...Toms shoes. For every pair of shoes you purchase, Toms gives a pair of new shoes to a child in need - one for one - simple. That's cool.

                Now, you may not like Toms shoes, or wear them...but the business is a simple win / win principle.

                Newman's Own - (I already mentioned Paul) buy our salad dressing, or our spaghetti sauce, or popcorn, etc. - and any profit goes to charitable causes. Simple.

                Or Muhammad Yunus, founder of Grameen Bank, awarded a Nobel Peace Prize in 2006.

                To me - these guys are cool.

                I know, I know...some people will try to take advantage of an altruistic principle like this...or some may argue who gets what, and why...
                But if we could have more people working to solve problems without any skewed agenda...we would all be a lot cooler, and richer for it. (imo)

      You can never go wrong with the voice of Darth Vader and Mufasa from the Star
      Wars and Lion King movies, respectively.
      James may have the coolest voice in the world but, although he's also a cool guy, not the 'coolest guy in the world'.

      Toms Waits still holds the crown.

      Again...
      Fictitious characters don't qualify.
      Otherwise, James Bond (Sean Connery), would forever be the coolest guy in the world.

          You question Tom Waits And think Jim Carrey is the coolest guy in the world?

          Your opinion no longer matters.
          You obviously have no concept of 'cool'.

          You are, therefore banned from this thread.

          All those in favor say 'Aye'.

            I ... no wait, um, eye, uh, no aw ... this is too hard!

            But seriously, personally I wouldn't give the "award" to an actor. They spend too much of their lives pretending to be someone else. I lean strongly toward a musician, but I'd still be open to others.

            Speaking of musicians, here's a rare treat, a glimpse of two cool guys (usually solo artists) playing together. Joe Bonamassa and John Hiatt.

      In real life Henry Winkler is the anti-Fonz.
      Great guy, soft spoken, very funny when he wants to be.
      Definitely not particularly cool.

    Sammy J, Johnny Depp... How do you top that?

    Dave Chappelle has a high degree of coolness. But he may be too funny to be the coolest.

    I posed the question to my brother and I think he has de-throned Tom Waits.

    Here is his response.

    Mose Allison, still cool at 90, give or take a year. New album comes out March 23rd. Composer of such classics as "Your mind is on vacation and Your Mouth is Workin' Overtime," and "Take Me Out Coach I'm Through." His tunes have been covered by everyone from the Bangles to Elvis Costello, The Yardbirds, Hot Tuna, Leon Russel, Bonnie Rait, Robert Palmer, Van Morrison, Diana Krall, The Kingston Trio, John Entwistle, Rick Derringer, and the Clash, just to name a few. I'm glad you asked this question: I have no Mose Allison on my ipod, and I've got some credits left on an Itunes gift certificate. --RC

    B.J., I think you might be biased by the "dudes" looks. Everyone knows cool guys (and real men) don't wear teal.

    3M, I don't see any teal in the pic you labeled "not cool," but in my opinion, wearing that jacket and sitting on a plastic horse precludes him from any possibility of being "coolest guy in the world."

      John, let me get you up to speed here. Fictional characters don't count. You could nominate Henry Winkler, but not his Fonzie character. (I think the OP has already ruled out Henry Winkler, if memory serves.)
