The most famous face in the world..?!
Just got back from a weeks holiday in Croatia & i saw loads of Bob Marley posters for sale at these markets.. In London almost every T-Shirt has a Che Gueverra portrait on it & it got me thinking that these 2 faces must be the most famous in history..
What do you guys think..??

Pope John Paul, then Michael Jackson....
But yes in counnter cultures around the world Bob Marley, Che and John Lennon are everywhere. I've been to Australia, Thailand, The Middle East, Hong Kong, and Mexico all of the music stores and side of the road flag and shirt places had at least one or all three in some fashion...Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles

Outside the U.S i don't think Michael Jordan is that well known to be honest.. He could walk down Oxford street here in London on a busy Saturday afternnon & nobody would bother him.
My mate just said that Adolf Hitler would be near the top of the list, i concur.

I'll say Helen of Troy...her face did launch 1000 ships!
seriously though, I'd say Bush too...MAYBE David Beckham too, most watched/played sport in the world and his face seems to always pop up when soccer is around...and now that he is on LA Galaxy in the US..

The most famous face in the world
By Adam Edwards
Last Updated: 11:58pm BST 19/04/2006
The Queen is 80 and one can confidently say she has reached a most unusual landmark. Her face is the most reproduced image of any human being since Jesus Christ. Even Queen Victoria would find it hard to compete with her ubiquity.
Since Queen Elizabeth II's birth, and for the 54 years she has been on the throne, her portrait has been a visible part of the known world. It has graced billions of stamps, coins and banknotes. Over the years it has flickered on every cinema screen (Pathé News) and appeared on most television sets (Queen's Speech and her tours).
It has been printed in almost every newspaper and magazine and hung in local council buildings and parish halls. There are ships, hospitals, pubs and caravan parks across the globe named after her and that carry her likeness - and we haven't begun to scratch the surface of the tea towel industry.
Queen Elizabeth is a marketing behemoth. A cursory glance at eBay will bring up more than 3,000 articles bearing the Queen's head, from a Queen Elizabeth II bosun's whistle to a 1950s powder compact.
Her head has appeared on pottery, kitchen accessories, smoking paraphernalia and tins of every kind. And it is not just the traditional image of the Queen that is iconic.
The Sex Pistols took the official 1977 Jubilee portrait of Her Majesty and stuck a safety pin through her lip to promote their ironic single God Save the Queen. Pop artist Andy Warhol produced a silk screen of her in carnival colours, from the same photograph.
Even without an 80th fillip, the Queen can safely claim unrivaled historical exposure of her image.Last edited by Little Wing; 08-23-2007 at 05:28 PM.

Right now I'd have to go with David Beckham, with the popularity of Soccer worldwide and now having come to the US he has to be known in every corner of the globe...

Maybe it would be a prominant Chinese figure, if you wanted to go about it population wise.

how about the most famous ever?
George Washington?
Lincoln?
Lincoln had a more distinctive look, where as Washington just had the same powdered wig everyone had at the time...
or are they only famous in the U.S. mostly because of currency...

There are more books sold on Hitler than any other worldwide apart from the Bible, & i don't consider the Bible to be a proper book..
The Queen of England is most definatley up there & Little-wing made a good case for her, but for all her 50+ years on the Throne, she doesn't have the notoriety of a Che Gueverra or Stalin.
