Julian Cope

+ 1 action dan, I was going to post the same stuff.

He is the classic Brith excentric, considering his age and i believe he has some medical problems the Marathon running epic is awesome.

Believe he was caught cheating on the Beacons phase and binned which for someone who went onto tab everywhere it was a bit basic.

I can not think of any actor as cool just as I couldnt goo gibberish if a world rock star walked into the same room. I admit if Lance Armstrong walked into aroom, hes someone I respect a great deal- I would make a tit of myself saying hello. An actor though? Why do you think they are cool?!

Cool is a very material superficial and somewhat juvenile thing.
A jacket can be cool, a bloated tattooed drunken rockstar in a strip club is cool, a run on the whistler bike park is cool.
Armstrong is arguably awesome, talented etc but is he cool?
Peaty is cool, he drinks a lot of beer and rides bikes down mountains as fast as possible-cool.

Huey Morgan

Richard E Grant

You're all wrong :

cave is losing cool points in my book. especially with the mouser and receding dyed hair.

Leonard Cohen. Hands down.

Oh, and if we can mention the 'alive-challenged', then Pierre Trudeau.

Tony Alva?
Travis Pastrana?
Lemmy?

Surely his fingers were pretty cool?

Randy Spangler

or that weather forecaster on Sky.

Francis Wilson

My best friend. He's not famous though, and he doesn't bother with online bike forums…

I like bob geldoff.

I think he's cool….

Steve McQueen for me.
Followed closely by Mohammed Ali and Nelson Mandela

Why are you all still posting, the first answer was clearly the correct answer!

Look up the definition of "cool" in the dictionary.

This picture will be there*.

If not, it bloody well should be!!!

I think Lemmy may be cool only in the eyes of overgrown boys. Somehow (if sex appeal is part of cool) I suspect girls wouldn't put him in the cool category.

Although from at least one point of view, it's probably true to say that that is a cool photo.

Mani- ex of The Stone Roses, now of Primal Scream.

Had a beer with him and he is indeed cool. Got a pic of me & him stuck on my fridge so he is double cool! 8)

Valentino Rossi

Ross Brawn – unflappable

alive:

or

Dead (there is only one)

joe simpson – climber
steve mcqueen for the dead cool
ranulph fiennes. sorry this guy is cool as!!!!
david attenborough. again cool as!!!!

All actors are pantomime dames – so how can any of them be cool ?

Ross Brawn is top of the cool wall.

Another vote for Steve McQueen as coolest ever bar none.

SB

I give you… Maynard James Keenan

Theres definately something cool about a mohawk.
Ross brawn??!??
Steve McQueen does not qualify. The clues in the title "coolest man alive"
Black Thought of the roots

Yes, Ross Brawn…
Pressure without the sweat, 2 cars running in a GP and all he wanted to know was how the cricket was getting on…

Wayne Coyne or Joe Perry for me….

Ok, underactive sweat glands and an attraction to cricket?
Besides the fact that IMHO, cricket is the most uncool sport in the world I'm still not feeling it. Each to his/her own though.
Nick Cave, yep, Lemmy definately.
Fiennes, still a nope from me.
But, what do I know? I think beckham's pretty cool.

cycling – Tinker Juarez, even if he is a god botherer.

Leonard Cohen's a good one. I struggled to get past actors.

+1 Valentino Rossi, genius motorcyclist and Ian Brown.

I don't even follow football but for me Eric Cantona just oozes cool?

Lance F'in Armstrong, are you retarded, or just don't have clue what being cool is about?!? He is probably one of the least cool people on the planet. Yes he's a good cyclist, but why should that make you automatically cool, he's about as cool as G.W.Bush (who's like his best mate, yes that's how 'cool' he is) Oh and his other cool mate is Robin Williams who part times as a Nanny, and that ain't cool.

Oh god no, i've just scrolled up Richar E Grant. I give up your all idiots.

Steve McQueen. End of.

Although I agree with a few posts on here….

Valentino Rossi – fo' sure. The GOAT.

…as a youth I thought Ian Brown, Tim Burgess and Shaun Ryder were the business.

Ranulph Fiennes is pretty cool.

Clint Eastwood, Robert De Niro.

Nathan Barley?

Boris.

Mr V Rossi gets another vote from me.
Can i mention Ozzy Osbourne too…..it's just so cool that he's still alive!

yeah cantona is pretty cool.

Do all the people who write Steve McQueen not realise he is dead? Or is it some religious cult thing going on?

Victor Ruggiero of the Slackers. Now he's cool. He has the coolest lyrics, the coolest attitude. He sings and plays keyboard/organ and the way he plays that live is beyond cool. He also plays guitar. Cool.
