Panti Bliss has responded to being shortlisted for Time magazine’s worldwide Top 100 list.
Every year, the magazine publishes a prestigious list of the Top 100 most influential people in the world – and Panti’s in the running to making the final cut.
Taking to Twitter, and in true hilarious fashion, Panti insisted that, “Clearly someone at Time is drunk.”
Haha! Clearly someone at Time is drunk, but suck it Mark Zuckerberg, JK Rowling and Aung San Suu Kyi! https://t.co/TDgrvqL8xD

Although Panti, who’s real name is Rory O’Neill, is baffled by the honour – she still joked that Mark Zuckerburg and JK Rowling can “suck it”.
Unfortunately JK Rowling has now surpassed Panti in the poll, but she’s still beating founder of Facebook Mark as well as the likes of Jennifer Lawrence and JJ Abrams.
Vote for Panti in the Top 100 poll here.
