Paul Newman by a distance.

 

A great actor and a great man.

 

Newman won several national championships as a driver in Sports Car Club of America road racing, and his race teams won several championships in open-wheel IndyCar racing. He was a co-founder of Newman's Own, a food company from which he donated all post-tax profits and royalties to charity. As of November 2018, these donations have totaled over US$535 million. He was a co-founder of Safe Water Network, a nonprofit that develops sustainable drinking water solutions for those in need.

 

In 1988, Newman founded the SeriousFun Children's Network, a global family of summer camps and programs for children with serious illness which has served 290,076 children since its inception. In 2006, Paul Newman also co-founded Safe Water Network with John Whitehead, former chairman of Goldman Sachs, and Josh Weston, former chairman of ADP, to improve access to safe water to underserved communities around the world.

Connery for me.

 

I was surprised not to see James Dean in the main list as his was the first name I thought of when i saw the word "cool". He would be the hipsters choice I reckon.

When deciding who to include, it was a toss up between James Dean and Dean Sullivan.

 

Polls only allow for 20 choices, so I couldn’t include everyone.

McQueen: that was his persona, and I'm struggling to think of a role where he wasn't "cool".

 

If I had to add to the list it'd be Charles Bronson. Another who was always pretty calm cool and collected on screen.

 

 

Bronson is a great shout
