Comes across as a mahoosive narcissist so…

No.

Definitely not cool.

Janelle Monae
Josh Homme

Steve McQueen was cool. Possibly the definition of cool in his time

You’re not going far out on the limb there when he’s routinely described as The King of Cool!

Struggling to think of a woman who’s cool.

Really? For the coolest of them all I have one word for you:

Ling!

John McGuinness Isle of Man TT legend

Ugly as **** cool as ****

“So John what are your ambitions for the TT going forward”

“Not to get killed”

“Thats it”

“Yes thats it”

Samantha Fish.. very very cool

You do realise most folk are taking the piss (or is that not cool these days)?

Lets review some of the answers so far….

Clint Eastwood,
Jude Law,
Nick Cave,
Iggy Pop,
Sean Bean,
Tom Waites,
Debbie Harry,
etc etc….

Most no doubt cool in their day, but none of them have been relevant for at least 20 years.

John Cooper Clark

Piers Morgan

Jezza Clarkson

Andrew Neil

Matthew Parris

Nick Ferrari

I consulted with a child and these are the correct answers.

I have no idea who the two people in your images are, which probably means they’ve got a better chance at being cool than a lot of the people suggested in this thread.

You don’t have to be relevant or young to be cool.

And yes to McGuinness.

And we’ll have Bruce Anstey too – cool as ****.

And Stoner whilst we’re at it……

Kathy Burke

Truly cool as f*** by whatever yardstick is used

Kathy Burke… damn right

James May.

Cool for not being cool.

Blackflag, you forgot Katie Hopkins

P J Harvey

Chrissie Hynde

Jesus! this thread couldn’t display how old and out of touch with modern day culture STW`ers really are!

I didn’t realise only modern day culture was cool.

How could i forget Chrisse

A friend of mine has a copy of that photo of the tennis player with no knickers on. he calls his appreciation of it “ironic” and told me a while back that he still thinks it’s cool.

This thread reminds me of him a bit.

Paolo Nuttini. But only in this video.

Catherine Deneuve

Susan Sarandon

Mary Beard

Matt Johnson (The The)

David Byrne

Jean Reno

Keanu Reeves – He rides motorcycles and is the most non celeb celebrity ever.

Struggling to think of a woman who’s cool.

She’s been mentioned a few times now but the first person I though of out any gender was Helen Mirren, Salma Hayek, Emma Thomson?

Actually just watching how people behave on Graham Norton is a pretty good guide for cool.

And on that note Graham Norton is pretty cool.

Loads of yound people are cool, Sporters, musicers etc. Anyone who doesn’t take themselves seriously and treats others with respect.

Keanu Reeves – He rides motorcycles and is the most non celeb celebrity ever.

Gets my vote.

Starred in the coolest movie ever ( Matrix obviously) and managed to transcend being typecast as Bill despite playing the part so well everyone thought he was as daft as the character.

And most important he’s apparently a really decent bloke according to pretty much everyone who meets him.

Actually just watching how people behave on Graham Norton is a pretty good guide for cool.

On this basis – Tom Cruise

Define ‘cool’ some more.

I have a long list of women and more diversity if this was ‘people who changed the world and are kick-ass’.

I didn’t realise only modern day culture was cool.

That is literally what cool is.

Like, in the 50s or whenever you were a teenager, Elvis was probably cool and you would have been all “Vera Lynn – urgh” – but your parents would probably have felt exactly the opposite

😉

As ever the Simpsons cleared this up some time ago!!

Blackflag, you forgot Katie Hopkins

I couldn’t even bring myself to name her as cool on my sarcastic list.

+1 for McGuiness and Anstey. Tom waits is still cool. Coolest ever? Steve McQueen and leonard Cohen. Oops, forgot Audrey Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart.

I saw John McGuiness’ wedding party and I’m not sure I’d describe it as a ‘cool’ crowd 😛

Jeremy Clarkson

Helena Bonham Carter

James Murphy (LCD)

Oops, forgot Audrey Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart.

Sadly inadmissible due to death.

Which simply demonstrates that cool is a matter of opinion, or taste. Except Audrey Hepburn, forever cool.

Lionel Messi.

Simon Armitage
Kristin Scott Thomas
John Grant
Keanu
