Which celebrity would you actually vote for if they ran for President of the United States? If you can remember all the way back to Kanye West’s speech at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards, you may remember that he closed by saying that he’ll be running for president in 2020. If he actually runs, it’s going to be highly entertaining (just think of the debates). But he shouldn’t be the only celebrity who takes a shot at becoming the most important person in the world. After Oprah's powerful Golden Globes speech in 2018, in which she slammed the mistreatment of women in the film industry, there has been a lot of buzz&nbsp;online of her launching a 2020 run as well.

From Kim Kardashian to Stephen Colbert, and even Charlie Sheen, here’s a definitive list of other celebrities who should run for President of the United States.If you think about it, being President of the United States isn’t all that different from being a regular celebrity. People with no knowledge of what you really do are constantly criticizing you, you spend most of your time on a private airplane, and you have a giant posse. If you’re <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/famous-people-who-were-bullied/celebrity-lists?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">a famous person</a> (FP for short), you might as well run for president every four years. Worst case scenario, you actually win and have to figure out which member of your inner circle is going to be your chief of staff. Which celebs do you think make great presidential candidates?Upvote the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/celebrities-you-dont-want-to-see-get-older/jacob-shelton?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">celebrities you</a> think should run for President of the United States. If you think there’s a celebrity who’s uniquely qualified to run the US of A, add them to the list and see how many votes they get.&nbsp;

Meteoric rises usually lead to incredible falls; after all, having it all means that there’s more to lose. Sometimes when a movie star crashes, we never hear from them again. But this is a different narrative with a silver-lining, because there are <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/amanda-bynes-is-doing-okay/anncasano" target="_blank">stars who recovered from tough times</a>.&nbsp;When video and pictures spread of Britney Spears shaving her head in 2007, it looked like the former pop queen had gone off the deep end never to return to the limelight again. However, after help from her father and rehabilitation, the singer made a full recovery and is currently one of the most bankable musical artists working today. Her Las Vegas residency show Britney: Piece of Me has brought in over $100 million in ticket sales.

Being a celebrity has got to be pretty weird. Lots of people recognize you, and may even think they understand you, but you don&#39;t know them. And if you achieved a Justin Bieber-like level of fame, getting bothered by fans would become a huge problem. Being famous means having zero privacy, so when a celebrity is approached by a non-celeb, they could be forgiven for attempting to brush the person off. It only makes sense that many stars would prefer to avoid fans and be left alone as much as possible.

But not every celebrity does that. In fact, there are a good number of <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/nicest-rock-stars/mike-calendrillo" target="_blank">famous people who are nice</a> to normal people, and who don&#39;t seem to <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/celeb-relatives-react-to-their-fame/rebecca-shortall" target="_blank">react to their fame</a> at all. According to Redditors, these movie stars and musicians go out of their way to engage with fans, or to let staff working venues&nbsp;know they are appreciated. When people tell stories of nice celebrity encounters, they might highlight how unexpectedly normal the person was. Bill Murray, for instance, immediately began cracking jokes. And when it comes to the nicest celebrities, some may surprise you &ndash; like Kim Kardashian. Apparently she&#39;s a real sweetheart.

Who are the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-most-influential-people-of-all-time" target="_blank">most influential people in history</a>? Here&#39;s a good place to start. This is a list of every&nbsp;person who has ever been immortalized in a Google Doodle, in order from the very first to the most recent. The first Google Doodle appeared on on August 30, 1998, in honor of Burning Man, surprising visitors to the search engine homepage. It wasn&#39;t until 2001 that the very first real person was commemorated. In November of that year, a Google Doodle honored Claude Monet, artistically drawn in the style of the painter&#39;s famous water lilies. For more than a decade since, Google has celebrated artists, inventors, poets, musicians, activists, mathematicians, scientists, singers, architects, and hundreds of other <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/people-who-made-the-world-a-better-place/josh-heller" target="_blank">people&nbsp;who have made positive contributions</a> to the world as we know it. Every famous person who has been in a Google Doodle is listed in the order in which his or her Doodle appeared on the famous website, along with the date&mdash;or multiple dates, when applicable. While most of these cool and interesting people were honored on their birthdays, many others have been recognized on important anniversaries of their work.&nbsp;There is also a picture of each person&#39;s Google Doodle, and videos for important men and women like Freddie Mercury, Jules Verne, and Maya Angelou, whose Doodles were interactive.&nbsp;

These inspirational stories about famous <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/good-deeds-by-bad-people/jacob-shelton?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">people doing good deeds</a> will touch your heart. Some of Hollywood&#39;s biggest stars have also been known to be the kindest, especially when they are lending a hand to those in need. A perfect example of a real-life hero just happens to be an actor who plays one on screen! Batman star Christian Bale showed he had a huge heart after visiting victims and families of the tragic shooting in Aurora, CO. A few months later, he flew out a young leukemia patient with his family to meet Bale and hang out at Disneyland. Helen Mirren won a role for playing the Queen of England on film, but her most memorable act was making a dying boy&#39;s wish come true by meeting him, fully dressed as Her Majesty, after performing in a play.

Making a difference in other people&#39;s lives doesn&#39;t have to cost anything at all, but its impact can be priceless. Even something as simple as visiting a sick child in the hospital or volunteering to spend time with the less fortunate is truly an&nbsp;act&nbsp;of heroism. Celebs like Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, and Ryan Reynolds have all cheered up sick kids by dropping by hospitals and hanging out with the young patients. Sometimes stars find themselves in a situation where they are able to help in an emergency, such as Jennifer Lawrence tending to a girl who fainted, or Ryan Gosling saving a woman&#39;s life in New York. These charitable celebrity tales are sure to inspire you to make a difference in the world by helping others.

Keanu Reeves

Keanu Charles Reeves ( kee-AH-noo; born September 2, 1964) is a Canadian actor and musician. He gained fame for his starring roles in several blockbuster films, including comedies from the Bill and Ted franchise (1989–2020); action thrillers Point Break (1991), Speed (1994), the John Wick franchise (2014–present); psychological thriller The Devil's Advocate (1997); supernatural thriller Constantine (2005); and science fiction/action series The Matrix (1999–present). He has also appeared in dramatic films such as Dangerous Liaisons (1988), My Own Private Idaho (1991), and Little Buddha (1993), as well as the romantic horror Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992).
Reeves has earned critical acclaim for his acting. One New York Times critic praised Reeves' versatility, saying that he "displays considerable discipline and range... he moves easily between the buttoned-down demeanor that suits a police procedural story and the loose-jointed manner of his comic roles." However, Reeves has spent much of his later career being typecast. Saving the world is a recurring character arc in many roles he has portrayed, as manifested in characters such as Ted "Theodore" Logan, Gautama Buddha, Neo, Johnny Mnemonic, John Constantine, and Klaatu. The John Wick franchise represented a return to critical praise and commercial success for Reeves. His acting has garnered several awards, and he has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Outside of film acting, Reeves has pursued other forms of artistry, including stage acting, music performing, and directing. Onstage, he performed as Prince Hamlet for the Manitoba Theatre Centre's production of Hamlet. He is a musician and played bass guitar for the bands Dogstar and Becky. He wrote the text for a picture book, Ode to Happiness, illustrated by Alexandra Grant. He has also produced a documentary, Side by Side, and directed the martial arts film Man of Tai Chi.
