TIME Magazine has released its list of Most Influential People of 2018 and it’s as if the Hollywood piñata has been cracked open.

Amongst the list is Wonder Woman herself, Gal Gadot.

Former Wonder Woman star, Lynda Carter, described the Israeli actress as “a wife and mother who has served her country, traveled the world, and is hardworking, loving, wise, goofy and full of humanity.”

Empire star Taraji P. Henson wrote about Cardi B, saying that she identifies with the “Bodak Yellow” rapper because she too knows that “when you are cool with who you are, no one can use it against you.”

The Daily Show host Trevor Noah was exalted by Oscar-winning actress Lupita Nyong’o (who will be portraying his mother in the film based on his autobiography, Born a Crime). She referred to the South African comedian as “a fantastic storyteller who has always been a defier of rules and is always reaching out: across cultures, continents and boundaries.”

Also making the list of the Top 100 Influencers was Millie Bobby Brown of Stranger Things, whom Breaking Bad star Aaron Paul referred to as his “adopted daughter”; Shawn Mendes was called “reverential but not deferential” by fellow musician John Mayer; and Roseanne Barr, who has resurfaced on TV with the revival of Roseanne, was described by Rosie O’Donnell as “brilliant, bold, big, brave and beautiful.”

Influence away, everyone!
