Has anybody said Nick Cave because that's the answer.

If he were still alive, Prince. Coolest man on the planet.

If we may allow fictional folk, the Dude.

My number one would have to be David Bowie, just oozed charisma and coolness. Something almost extra human about him, almost like you wouldn't be surprised to hear he was an alien from another planet.

Which Bowie are you thinking of? I don't think the early Bowie was particularly cool. But 90s Bowie was super cool.

For m; Sean Connery in Dr. No

Not the poster you replied to but I would put the Thin White Duke and Berlin eras as Bowie at his coolest.

I grew up thinking my uncle was the human embodiment of cool because he was jailed for keeping goats as pets. Turns out I was wrong - it's not even illegal to have a goat as a pet - I simply misheard him when he said he was jailed because he 'kept mountain goats'.
