Throughout history, humanity has produced many people named Ross. Some were incredible. Some were just all right. We honour them all.
Happy little trees. Happy little clouds. Happy little everything. The man made painting a spiritual experience and convinced millions of people they could do it. They largely couldn't, but they felt great.
Led The Supremes, launched a solo career that never stopped, got inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, wore increasingly spectacular outfits. Icon. Capital I. Non-negotiable.
Paleontologist. Twice-divorced by Season 2. Could play the bagpipes extremely badly. Said "we were on a break" approximately 87 times. Annoying but weirdly endearing. A truly exhausting man.
British chat show royalty. The man with the inability to pronounce the letter R who interviewed literally everyone worth interviewing for three decades. Genuinely great TV. The answerphone incident did happen though.
Rapper. Self-proclaimed Boss. Owner of many cars, many chains, many Wingstop franchises. His "BAWSE" ad-lib is a genuine gift to music. Also may or may not have been a corrections officer. Allegedly.
Started as Grant Mitchell in EastEnders — hardest man in Walford. Then went and made documentaries in actual war zones and with actual gangs. Either extremely brave or completely unhinged. Possibly both.
Australian stand-up comedian whose shows have no set material and routinely go four hours long because he followed a thought about a badger for 45 minutes and forgot what he was talking about. Genius or madman.
F1 technical director who helped Schumacher win seven world championships, then bought a failing team, renamed it Mercedes, and won eight constructors' titles in a row. The most understated dynasty in sport.
Auctioneer and Bargain Hunt regular. A man so comfortable talking about antique teapots that it becomes genuinely riveting. The unsung hero of daytime television. Every gran's favourite.
"We were on a break!"— Ross Geller, approximately 87 times, Friends (1994–2004)
Highly scientific. Not open for debate.
