Time-100 Most Influential People Of 2023
Bob Iger
Bob Iger is the CEO of Disney company.
Disney’s old and then new again CEO Bob Iger, one of TIME’s 100 most influential people of the year, was early for his cover shoot, as he pretty much is for all his appointments every day. And he managed the photo session as carefully as he manages Disney’s many intellectual properties—from Thor to Mickey—making sure he understood what the photographer wanted.

On the day of the shoot, Iger was fresh off a recent round of victories. The Disney stock price was up 9% since he took back the CEO reins, after falling 44% in the 12 months prior. And Disney was making headlines for out-maneuvering Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. All of that and it wasn’t even 9 a.m.
Angela Bassett
Angela Bassett is an actress.
“Whether you’re Tina Turner or the Queen of Wakanda, we believe in you because you believe in yourself,” writes @tinaturner. “You honor all the women you play, just as you honored me.”

Salma Hayek Pinault
Salma Hayek is a Latina actress.
“As one of the first Latinas working in Hollywood, she’s opened so many doors for people who followed,” writes Penélope Cruz (@penelopecruzoficial).

“She is a total revolutionary, and there’s still so much she will do.”

Ali Wong
Ali Wong is an actress and comedian.
“She’s unafraid of digging deep, asking the hard questions to others and herself,” writes Randall Park.
“I think that’s why she’s one of our greatest comedians.”

Jennifer Coolidge
Jennifer Coolidge is an actress.
@jennifercoolidge is more surprised than you are at her success.

After winning more awards in the last 12 months than she garnered nominations in her entire 30-year career, and giving the kind of frank acceptance speeches that go viral, Coolidge is offering hope to late bloomers everywhere.
She’s finding new audiences, gathering more than a million fans in just two measly months and five videos on TikTok, starring alongside J.Lo in “Shotgun Wedding,” and appearing in e.l.f. Cosmetics’ Super Bowl commercial. On top of all that, she’s on the 2023 #TIME100.
“I just find it baffling, absolutely baffling, that this is happening. But guess what? I really like it,” says Coolidge.
It’s like I was like Sleeping Beauty, where I was locked in a box under the bed or something. And now I’m out and it’s like, ‘Well, I’m sure glad they let me out of that box, because this is way better.’
Micheal B. Jordan
Micheal B. Jordan is an actor and director.
It’s a big deal when any director’s debut movie sells $100 million worth of tickets in its first week. It’s an even bigger deal when that director is also the star. And it’s a triumvirate of big deals when that normal-sized star transformed plausibly into a heavyweight boxer to play the role. But that’s the position in which @michaelbjordan, 36, finds himself in the wake of “Creed III.”

Despite the doggedness that being a director-leading man-athlete entails, Jordan, one of TIME‘s 100 most influential people of 2023, is raring to get back in the directing ring again. “I got the bug. I love it,” says the star.
There’s a reason Jordan took such control of the future of the Creed storyline. “I had something to say,” he says. “I had a unique opportunity to play a character three times over the past nine years, and have a character that was going through similar things that I was personally, and finding ways to work through my own sh-t through a character.”
Doja Cat
Doja Cat is a singer – an artist.
@dojacat grew up on the internet. It’s her playground, her teacher, her inspiration, her disciplinarian, her delight, and her punishment. “I’ve kind of become addicted to it,” she says. “I think a lot of us are, but it’s become part of my career.”
Doja Cat / Time Magazine.
Thousands of performing artists have social media streams to interact with their fans, but few are as personally involved with them as Doja. “I enjoy it,” she says. “Actually I deeper than enjoy it.”
She uploads things others won’t: close-up shots of the multiple pimples on her forehead, random vulgar words with no context, a pre-sneeze snapshot. And this is all on top of her two platinum-selling albums; a slew of awards, including a Grammy and three VMAs; and her status as one of the 50 most streamed artists on Spotify.
SRK, Padma Lakshmi, S S Rajamouli, Rushdie, etc.

These famous people have been divided into different categories – Artists, Innovators, Titans, Leaders, Icons, Pioneers, etc. To check the complete list you can click Time’s 100 link.
