    Not sure who some of these are, but am I correct in assuming Bond is the only ficticious character on that list?

    I have no idea who he is but Elon Musk sounds like cheap perfume to me.

    He founded Paypal, Tesla Motors (one of the first commercial electrical sports car) and SpaceX who recently did the first commercial space flight for the NASA. So quite influencial.

    There you're right. But we all know he would top every "Best ... Man" list ;-)

    some weird choices for sure., but it shows, that Bond under Craig still can make the cut.

    Thanks for the information, I had no idea! I'm impressed, who would say with a name like that.

    Score another for Bond! Any poll he wins is good in my eyes.

    That´s a weird list. I wonder if they asked more than ten people.

    Strange to go for Bill Clinton and not Obama (or Romney)? Would have thought Lord Coe may have been in with a shout, Bradley Wiggins perhaps too?

    Us liberal yanks (and some conservatives as well) have very fond memories of the Clinton years - and wish our current president would be a little more like ol' Bill.

    Anyway, it's hard to take seriously any list that has Seth MacFarlane, Jimmy Kimmel and Ryan Gosling all in the top 10.
