Image Group LA/ABCLooks like all the work that Ariana Grande did to raise money for the victims of the Manchester bombing in May have made her a hero in the eyes of British kids.
The British paper The Mirror reports the singer is among the top 50 modern-day children’s heroes, according to a new survey conducted by Mattel of six-to-13-year-old children in the U.K. She wasn’t the highest-ranked pop star on the list, though: that’d be British girl group Little Mix, who came in at #10, followed by Ed Sheeran at #11.
Ariana ranked #14 on the list, right after Simon Cowell, but ahead of the superhero Iron Man. Justin Bieber and Harry Styles also made the list, but were ranked much further down, below the likes of The Rock, Thor, Luke Skywalker, Wonder Woman, Superman, Spider-Man, Batman, and Harry Potter.
But when it came to #1 and #2 , kids realized who the real heroes are: “Mum” topped the list, followed by “Dad” at #2. In addition, “My teacher,” “Grandmother” and “Grandfather” were among the real-life heroes on the kids’ list.
