You can choose ten photos of ten people to take to all corners of the Earth with the goal being the maximum number of people who could name the person in the photos, who would you choose?

In no particular order these are my choices:

Obama
Messi
Ronaldo
The Pope
OBL
Clooney/Pitt
Bill Gates
Michael Jackson
Some Indian Guy
Some Chinese Guy

Recently dead people are ok. Hitler, Churchill, Einstein, etc. are too old.

Probably The Pope, but only because he wears a uniform.

Mandela is way up there.
 
And the other nine?
 
I would be curious to hear Tejas, Vad, and other expatriates weigh in, because I am certain that are some strong western biases at play.
 
Mandela is a great call.
 
MJ is a good call also.
 
Including all historical figures, it would be Jesus then Gandhi to start the list.
 
Most recognizable fictional character? Mickey Mouse or Darth Vader?
 
No one knows what Jesus looked like. Plus he's too old.

Ghandi...acceptable substitute for Indian guy.

Substitute Beckham for Clooney/Pitt?
