Damar Hamlin To Jeremy Renner, Here Are The Most Searched People On Google In 2023

Google released its 'Year in Search 2023' list, which, like every other year, displays what was searched the most — topics, trends, personalities, news — on its search engine around the world. The 'Year in Search 2023' list includes all the categories - news, entertainment, memes, travel, recipes, and more. 

Google also released a list of the most searched personalities globally in 2023, with NFL player Damar Hamlin topping the list. Notably, the American football player collapsed during his National Football League (NFL) game in January. A video from the game showed that Mr Hamlin had been hit in the upper chest area. He was rushed to the hospital and was in critical condition for a few days but has since completed a celebrated comeback.

He's followed by Hollywood actor Jeremy Renner, who survived after being crushed under a snowplow on New Year's Day. Mr. Renner broke more than 30 bones and underwent multiple surgeries following the accident at his property outside Reno, Nevada, which initially left him in "critical condition". 

Controversial social media personality Andrew Tate, a self-described misogynist with a large online presence, is the third-most searched person on Google in 2023.
