Who is the biggest celebrity of your lifetime?

in #steemit6 years ago (edited)


When I was very young, in the mid 1980's there was no bigger star in the world than the King of Pop, Michael Jackson.
That of course was before all the garbage came out about him 8-9 years after this picture above was taken (1984). I remember you could not get a cereal without paying a bootlegger that came out with one like minute and half record of a single bonus track on a national cereal. He was literally that huge as a worldwide celebrity, the biggest in my lifetime in my opinion since 1980.

I am curious on your thoughts, I realize not everyone grew up in the United States and was a child of the 1980's.

I'm going to answer a 2nd celebrity that was huge during my time. Tom Cruise. Almost all the bad ass movies were played by Tom Cruise but one of his first movies was the best "Ferrous Bueller's Day Off"... And of course he did all the Mission Impossible Flicks, and the awesome move of Jerry McGwire. I don't particularly like his religious views, but as a celebrity he was right up there on the top for a very long time!

I would say that Tom Hanks is the biggest celebrity of my time... Forest Gump, Big... bot major classics... Not counting so many of the others like sleepless is seattle, the world war II movie about Normandy... He is/was amazing in how many big hits he was in. And without all the drama of all the others too!

the biggest celebrity of my lifetime would have to be harrison ford... He played in so many famous movies. From star wars to indiana jones, then later he had lots of big roles and held his own again the younger stars.

It's hard to pick a 'celebrity of my lifetime' as part of a younger generation that is so infatuated and overwhelmed with celebrity. The biggest celebrity in terms of art and music would probably be Kanye - people love him, sometimes I can't tell if it's because he is a great artist or just an absurd, egotistical character. Or Zuckerberg, everyone knows Zuckerberg.

Very observant point @k0wsk1, this has really become a celebrity driven culture, at least here in the United States for sure. Remembering the absolute hysteria (barely-being so young at the time) of people at his concerts, in public, I think his fame reached or even eclipsed levels of royals, national leaders, or dare I say even people like Elvis Presley, generations before. I agree, since the culture is so infatuated with celebrity, there is a new one seemingly every minute. Thanks for participating, very good insight!

Micheal Jackson the legend will forever live in the memory of pop music

Yeah he was a phenomenon, as close to out of this world a talent can get. I was a fan of his, not particularly huge, but liked his music when it came out. I was never particularly overly enamored with him and his celebrity, but I definitely noticed how others were. I remember there would be a very high number that would faint being passed up to security guards so that they didn't get trampled. It was pure insanity, but who am I to judge, right? Thanks for commenting and weighing in @peks!
