What/who do you think of when you think of cool people?

What is cool?

People that are effortlessly comfortable in themselves, self worth and confidence are unfalliable?

I would never be able to clutch David Bowies hand like that while maybe telling a joke, and still look cool

One eyed Jack

People who go out of their way for other people without thinking what's in it for themselves.

There's nobody famous immediately comes to mind that meets that criteria.

Why are people listing people they deem to be cool? The question was what do you think of 'cool people'. Stupid question really.

One of you decided the L deserved to be capitalized one didn't. Which is the cool way of doing it?

Gerry Ryan. Especially in his raps.
Tubs when he tries to dress up like a member of the ratpack.
Gerald Kean when he used to pose with his plastic wife for the Indo.

Ireland is blessed with a myriad of cool celebrities.

Mysterypunter

L is his middle initial, Leroy I think, I capitalise names, think its right, but I'm desperate at grammar and punctuation, not cool enough for me

Be careful. Often extremley confident people are sociopaths.

Will trample over anyone to get their way and see human relations as a game to be won.

FFS I just put into google coolest people and got these numpties back.

Mark Zuckerberg, Kim Kardashian, Kanye West and Beyonc
The thing is the ones that are supposedly cool according to the likes of the article I found aren't cool at all because they try too fooking hard.

I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me, and it'll happen to you, too

This guy Gilles Villeneuve was so cool that his heart rate did not spike during F1 races and he drove like a lunatic.

Here is with his son a future F1 and Indy champion.
Oh and health and safety be damned.



And here is with one of the coolest last bad boys of F1, James Hunt, the guy that helped F1 discover Villeneuve.



And this guy was coolness personified.

Yeah, no one is cool anymore..

What happened people?..You used to be cool..

People who don't think they're cool.

Everything has gotten too serious, especially sport.
I listed two F1 drivers and when you compare their heyday to nowadays there were real characters back then.
Now they are just spewing out inane dribble because they are afraid to say or do anything lest the sponsors, the media take offence.

A lot of it has to do with the non stop coverage of well known personalities and the fact every fecker has a camera, hell a video camera, in their pocket.

The likes of Hunt would not last a season now because there would be a bloody online campaign to have him fired.

The health and safety brigade, that's what happened.

Maybe.

I wouldn't blame them for all of the demise of cool but they sure as hell didn't help much.

Then again I'm quite happy I've been forced to acknowledge that perhaps the concept of what's cool seems to change over time.

Well that's wrong, you're just making up a definition to suit your self image.

Not at all, that's why I think people who do go out of their way for other people without thinking about what's in it for themselves are cool. I'm not at all like that :pac:

Nerd stuff is cool now thanks to the Big Bang Theory etc. Who would have ever thought that was possible? Wonders never cease.

People who can dance.
People who can sit down at a random piano they come across and play incredible music.
People who seem genuinely in a flow, not concerned about them ''selves''.
People who make beautiful art and crafts with their hands and don't make a big deal about it, just keep on trucking making beautiful things.
People who are effortlessly witty. I envy those ones.
People who have a certain special look to their faces that is hard to describe, like wise and sexy and kind and knowing and calm and full of good humour all at once. It's just written there around their eyes, and in the corners of their mouths. It's in the way they occupy the space around them, effortlessly. I saw a man like that today as I walked near the beach. And then later a woman walking down off Knocknarea. She was tall and grey haired and athletic and the crinkles around her eyes and the way she greeted me and her lovely rosy face and way of being - I thought she was cool too.

We're dicks! We're reckless, arrogant, stupid dicks. And the Film Actors Guild are pussies. And Kim Jong-il is an asshole. Pussies don't like dicks, because pussies get ****ed by dicks. But dicks also **** assholes - assholes who just want to **** on everything. Pussies may think they can deal with assholes their way, but the only thing that can **** an asshole is a dick, with some balls. The problem with dicks is that sometimes they **** too much, or **** when it isn't appropriate - and it takes a pussy to show 'em that. But sometimes pussies get so full of **** that they become assholes themselves, because pussies are only an inch-and-a-half away from assholes. I don't know much in this crazy, crazy world, but I do know that if you don't let us **** this asshole, we are going to have our dicks and our pussies all covered in ****.

Speaking of arty people, I think this guy is cool.
Makes his own guitars as well.

That guy is definitely cool. Remember watching an interview with him (maybe Topgear?) and he was asked how he got his name : I get sick on boats
