Who, in your opinion, is the most recognizable/famous person in the world?

As in, someone who could walk down the street anywhere in the world and be spotted immediately.
I was thinking a political figure like Trump, but I don't really have a frame of reference for how much foreign citizens do or do not pay attention to US politics. (For example, I wouldn't recognize 99% of other world leaders if they sat down at the bar next to me.)
So is it a pop culture/music superstar? Beyoncé? One of the Kardashians? Mick Jagger? Elton John?
Maybe a famous actor. Leonardo DiCaprio?
If I had to pick, I would say it's Cristiano Ronaldo. Soccer is by far the world's most popular sport, and he is its most popular player. He has an insane amount of sponsorships and he has mass appeal to multiple demographics.
The southern U.S. is probably the only place on the planet that he'd have a slim chance of flying under the radar, but even that seems unlikely.

Ronaldo is a good one.
If I had to name someone you didn't, I'd go with Shaq.

Agreed, he was one of the first names I thought about.
Michael Jordan may have been as well.

I think it is someone who does not just have a recognizable face but a recognizable body size.
Someone like Lebron or Shaq/The Rock (when at their peak). Someone who would stand out in a crowd based on height or weight alone.
I think lots of people could walk right by (while looking at their phones) a guy like CR and not know he was famous.
But you ain’t walking past Shaq without noticing him.

The most recognizable person on the planet is probably the president of China. All the Chinese recognize him and probably all of India bc of proximity. That's a whole lot of people right there. Posted on 3/11/18 at 2:00 pm to Fun Bunch
The Pope would be hard to recognize without his pope hat. Everyone would recognize trump.
