    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 :(

    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.

    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 am not allowed discuss …

    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.

    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.
