At one point in his career, he not only did cool things, but was a cool guy, as well. Again, this was at a particular time in his life and at a time in history where he was considered the last universally recognized coolest man in America.
Bill Nye, the Science Guy?
That is such a generalization. We should all take a letter of the alphabet and check out Dead or Alive for living celebrities. OK Gang check your own initial - I’ll take S.

My definition of “cool” is clearly at odds with most here, and I can’t remember the last celebrity I admired from afar, so I’ll just punt and go with:
The nameless family man who gets out of a warm bed every morning to work at a job he may not particularly like to support his family.
He does this completely out of the spotlight, sacrifices his own pleasure for the needs of his family and always has God and his wife and children, foremost in his mind.
No steely visage, or squinty scowl, mellifluous voice or faux toughness.
Still, way cool.
The coolest, in fact.
