The Coolest Man Who Ever Lived

[fullbleed]

Of course it depends on what your definition of cool is but for me it always means comfortably aloof. Someone who can take in everything the world throws at them and cope without losing it.
My vote would go to Tom Waits and this clip is a great example of why:

"You choke my days, I'll choke yours."


Who would you vote for?

Alice Glass was voted top of the NME cool list

But... I have to agree nothing is cooler than Tom Waits.

 

[Imperioratorex Caprae]

Sam Elliot since someone already said Christopher Walken.

 

[Toaster Hunter]

[Knusper]

Gordon Freeman, if you only mean real people, probably Batman.

 

[Space Spoons]

Teddy Roosevelt. An explorer, an adventurer, a hell of a fighter. A true Renaissance man. I believe Kate Beaton of "Hark! A Vagrant" summed it up best.

Agreed. That guy is just awesome!

However, among those alive in living memory I would have to say that Gandhi was awesome and I do think Bruce Lee was a pretty cool guy too.

Jimi Hendrix. You said coolest, not most badass.
