Cool and still alive...at 77.. already mentioned but worth a pic...cut his own fingers off because the frost bite was 'annoying'...
Thom Yorke
Jarvis Cocker
Sonny Bill Williams. Outstandingly talented and accomplished athlete, seems a real bloke, coolest name in sport.
George the Poet
Until last week.... Dusty Hill
Robert Plant.
Billy Connolly
and most of all Jimmy Cliff
Hell yes!
I’ll add in Polly Harvey and Bjork (even though I don’t understand Bjork’s more recent work… but I’m putting that down to my own lack of coolness, not hers).
Ahh… cletus & fasthaggis got there before me.
Richard D James then.
Dolly Parton. One awesome lady indeed.
I can’t believe after 4 pages no one has mentioned Billy Gibbons. Like Duncan says, last week we’d have had Dusty too, but sadly no more.
Baaba Maal
Bill Nighy
Dave Grohl
Eddie Vedder
Brian Johnson
Billy Gibbons does seem like one of the coolest people alive to be fair.
The Dude.
Yvon Chouinard, Patagonia clothing boss who paid all his staff through lockdown.

Alex Turner currently doing a turn - at being the coolest person on Earth at this precise moment in time.
Sanna Marin
Aldo Kane
Steven Van Zandt
Some strange choices on this thread.
Sanna Marin probably my favorite of those listed above.
Andy Kaufman
Tom Waits +1
Keanu Reeves
Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Struggling to think of a woman who’s cool.
Seriously? You’re not trying very hard.
Kate Bush for starters.
Judi Dench
Angelina Jolie
Joni Mitchell
Joan Baez
Bridget Riley
I know quite a few cool people but they are not famous
Once past the age of forty I struggle to give a shit about differentiating between people who are cool and people who are not. It involves too much effort diving down the rabbit hole of things I don't give a shit about, because well, let's be honest, I'm not cool.
Kathy Burke

Has Shirley Manson not been mentioned?
No-feet Pete
John Cleese
Jude law cool? Am I missing something?
Donald Sutherland is quite cool, Slash still has an element of coolness to him.
Tony Iommi is not cool he is a legend which is another level of coolness!
Has Shirley Manson not been mentioned?
Now she has… 😎
I do struggle to remember names, though I should have remembered her, not only for Garbage, but her performance as a female Terminator in the tv series.
A couple more:
Björk
Sigourney Weaver
Although, Björk is still pretty young, and has recently announced a new album, so no real surprise she’s still around!
Terje
Dolly Parton is cool AF - an International Treasure.
Helen Mirren & Miriam Margolyes are also quite clearly cooler than the average bear.
Keanu Reeves x 2 or however many said it before this page
Kathy Burke x 2 is a very good shout
My addition - Billy Connolly
I see Björk has been mentioned.
She's definitely cool.
Guy Martin
Ryan Reynolds
Richard Hawley
Barack Obama
David Attenborough
All do their thing exceptionally well and seemingly without effort. Cool as...
Aurora is the heir to Bjork.
And is likewise as cool as...
Hence the Earth Prom invite.
Gilles Peterson
Little Simz
