I dont recall many Australians loving Irwin when he was alive. Most thought he was a buffoon but the international audiences loved him.

Him and Brocky going within days of each other was pretty big news

He was liked/admired, but no means loved as a national treasure.

Nine, I’ll be deep in the cold cold ground before I (don’t) recognise Pluto

But if you recognise Pluto, you now have to recognise Ceres, Eris, Sedna, Makemake and Haumea.

No I don’t and you can’t makemake me

Steve Irwin was an animal harrassing clown. Fortunately his kids seem to have avoided those stupid antics and focused on the conservation work.

Finally someone says it as it was… the guy was a complete plonker… thankfully his equally annoying daughter has disappeared from the media

Julius Caesar?

 

[Mr Eagle]

Julius Caesar?

The salad guy?

 

[Dazzler9]

Julius Caesar?

Well he died in a similar way to Steve Irwin, right?

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Well he died in a similar way to Steve Irwin, right?

Yep, scuba diving in Queensland.

 

[Dazzler9]

Yep, scuba diving in Queensland.

Technically, I think he was snorkelling.

The salad guy?

You're confusing Paul Newman with Marlon Brando.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Killed by someone very close to him?

 

[RookiePick]

You're confusing Paul Newman with Marlon Brando.

The horror

The horror

As a kid I always got Martin Sheen and Kirk Douglas mixed up. Lot's of very similar looking white dudes from the era of Hollywood.

 

[Dazzler9]

Paul Newman was a deadset legend. Came across as a top-notch bloke, along with buddy Robert Redford. Marlon Brando always seemed a little weird.

 

[TY24]

As we have established, Gen Z here.

Discussing with some friends the most famous person of all time. Besides Jesus if you believe in him and perhaps including. Am I right in saying it’s Michael Jackson? Without question? Was he really as big as everyone says? It’s hard to imagine without social media but I feel like their shouts of Messi, Ronaldo, Kohli, etc probably don’t even pale in comparison to MJ?

My educated guess:



The only IG account with more followers is Instagram themselves.

If cricket was popular in more than 3 countries it would probably be Kohli. His following is cult like.

Did a heap for charity too. Watched some of his old films and swear I was looking at Matthew McConaughey (s?).

Charleston Heston, now there's a f*cken nut-job.

Well he is Martin Sheen's son!

They lost me after Caeser. I have heard of Marlon Brando but I could not possibly tell you who he is or what he looks like

 

[Dazzler9]

Fun fact: Charlie Sheen's real name is Carlos Estevez.

He was Superman's Dad.

To be fair what Brando looked like was a pretty mobile target over his career
