How many people did you think about in 2023? Probably a lot.
Of the millions of people searched for on Google last year billions of times, which of those fall into the 10 most?
These were the top-10 trendiest folks in 2023, according to Google…
10. Pedro Pascal
Pascal slowly rose to fame as an actor and really took off in 2023. Sure, starring in HBO’s “The Last of Us” helps… but let’s be honest. The sandwich-eating meme of him which went viral on Tik Tok is why he appears on this list.
9. David Beckham
What is this, the 90s? No, it’s 2023, we assure you. But “Becks” came back into the spotlight this year because of his Netflix documentary: “Beckham.”
Those of a certain age might even laugh at that thought that his name needing to be searched for. Who doesn’t know David Beckham?! Kids these days…
8. Danny Masterson
Most famous for his role as Hyde in “That ’70s Show,” Masterson had fans of that sitcom and others keeping close tabs on him this past year because of legal troubles. After a years long battle, Masterton was convicted of rape. He was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison.
7. Lil Tay
Lil Tay is found on this list for the most bizarre of reasons. A young social media influencer, Lil Tay had a death hoax go down in 2023… which might have been self planned. She released a music video a month later…
6. Jenna Ortega
Ortega has gone from Disney Channel actress to one of the biggest stars in the world in 2023. Ortega has featured in the “Scream” movies, but undoubtedly what caught her now huge fame is her role as Wednesday Addams in Netflix’s series “Wednesday.”
5. Travis Kelce
Ironically enough, Travis Kelce is here entirely because of people who are not his own fan. In the latter stages of 2023, Kelce’s relationship with his pretty well-known girlfriend, Taylor Swift, made headlines. Swift is one of music’s biggest names in the entire world and… many of her followers weren’t exactly sure who Kelce or the Kansas City Chiefs were.
4. Kylian Mbappé
Mbappé has long been amongst the most known athletes in the world. The reason for his search is because of speculation he could eventually leave his current team, Paris Saint-Germain. It helps one of the potential suitors discussed was Real Madrid.
3. Andrew Tate
A former kickboxer turned controversial social media influencer, Tate is another that falls under the questionable people category on this list. His opinions caused him to get banned from certain social media outlets and since then, Tate has been under investigation and charged with human trafficking.
2. Jeremy Renner
Renner’s year began under the worst circ*mstances. He was hit by a snowmobile and the actor’s long journey to recovery was followed by many fans.
1. Damar Hamlin
Hamlin became much more than a defensive back for the Buffalo Bills in 2023. Hamlin captivated the world when in a freak incident he went into cardiac arrest during a live NFL game. Hamlin’s road to recovery captivated the world.
