People need to know the face and be able to put a name on it. The Queen of England is a title, it's no different to the CEO of Coca Cola.

" In a survey conducted in 18 countries in 2021, around 39 percent of respondents stated that the genre K-pop was “very popular” in their country. The popularity was at the point where K-pop was known to the general public and related products were being sold. The survey found that the popularity of K-pop reaches far beyond South Korean borders. "
Just because I'm an old fart who has never heard of any of them...
The conversation was about someone personal fame, the goalpost didn't shift.
I'd think that most would probably recognise her. She's obviously not a big deal as she's completely irrelevant on a political level but she's been around for so long that people still usually know of her existence, one way or another.
Also stuff like "The Crown" and the royal weddings and stuff attract tonnes of the younger generations who maybe wouldn't know her that well otherwise.
Even the whole Harry/Meghan stuff that's all over the gossip mags keeps her relevant with people with zero interest in politics.
When all is said and done, the only thing that matters is that Phil Collins is a bigger star than Ronaldo.
Robert Downey Junior was basically the face of the avengers movies, thats 4 of the 10 best selling movies of all time, including the movie event of the century in end game.
If I were to pick an actor to be the most famous, I'd take him over Rock.
I'd still go with the queen overall though. Shes still part of the story for entire continents, kids from Africa to North America and all over Europe learn who she is.

the what now?
The movie event of the century in end game.
Your thread, your rule and 100% agreed.
Hence I'd throw the pope / queen out straight away. I have no idea what the pope's name is and only know the queen's name because I'm English but many others would have heard of the queen yet not know his name was Freddie
So, just to be clear, are we saying it's not Jennifer Aniston?
It doesn't matter whether you like those films or not, it was a culmination of a 10 year story across 14 films, 4 of which are in the top 10 selling films of all time, with end game the best selling of all time.
There has been nothing like it before, and won't be again.
it's weird I just don't remember much hoohaa about it, although I was kinda busy that year
I'll have to give it a watch
Surprised not to see Joe Biden mentioned more. I just think being POTUS automatically makes you one of the most famous people on the planet. Whether he's the most, I don't know. But would he be ahead of the Queen?
Kanye West.
I think even now Trump is discussed more than him. I suspect Obama would be more famous than him too. Largely agree with the point though. I'd think Putin would be more famous than most of them by virtue of longevity
Not sure, to be honest. Way more musicians are more popular than him I think. Just having a quick glance at the Spotify numbers ( I know it's not exactly scientific), but if you look at all time and monthly, he doesn't appear in the top ten in some of those. As for monthly, I don't even think he breaks the top 20. I'd probably have Ed Sheeran over him I think.
RDJ is probably the biggest name in Hollywood after all the Marvel movies he has done.
Tom Cruise is much more famous than those two. And unlike Marvel's kiddy stuff 50 plus people also know him.
Not even close and the problem with using those stats is the amount of people who watch marvel films over and over and over.
I would argue a film that grosses even a third of a marvel film likely has more people going to watch it but they do so once and not twenty or so times.
I'm not a Tom Cruise fan but he would be my choice as biggest film star and would be known by so many more people than Downey Jr.
Bigger though would be sports stars Le Bron James and Tiger Woods would be known pretty much worldwide.
I doubt there are too many people haven't heard of Barack Obama either
This is such a strange conversation for people to get worked up over 
It was proper kicking-off in the Ronaldo thread. That's why I created this one for.This is such a strange conversation for people to get worked up over
All that being said, Ronaldo IS NOT the most famous person in the world!
Only sounds vaguely familiar so I think that description is more than a bit OTT.
Princess Diana or Michael Jackson
They dead bro
Her candle burnt out but legend never will
Can put Charles in the mix shortly.
QE2 at least at the moment.
@Dante was well ahead of his time.
Nah
Which other person on the planet do you think could die and illicit the kind of worldwide response and reaction the queen has?
And as stated earlier in the thread, even if she wasn't #1 whilst alive, a global blitz from the media will have put her into the consciousness of so many more people - particularly the young.
Its going to be different depening on what culture. Western Culture maybe Joe Biden or Trump. But in China it will be someone different.
What's funny is that he probably isn't even most famous for his roles in Avengers movies anyway.
I think this is about most famous person alive.
What movie role of his eclipses the Avengers in terms of exposure?
It was obviously Queenie but I'm not sure who it is now. Not someone that no one outside India has heard of for a kick-off. Hate to say it but it might be Donald Trump. Hate to say why as well, but I reckon it's got to be a yank, as half the world wants to up sticks and move to the states to get rich, or otherwise, if they could. Sporting figures, actors, business moguls all have a limited number of people interested in what they do, but everyone's heard of the president (as was).
Was noted in the reply. But the news went around the world about her condition in double-quick time.
