In all seriousness though, no it is impossible for a person to push the Sun.

There is however a megastructure concept that could do the job. A Shkadov Thruster is a gargantuan orbital mirror that is place in front of the sun that reflects off solar radiation back into the sun. This creates thrust that causes the Sun to accelerate and move. So yes, technically it is possible to move the sun, you just need a fucking massive mirror and a lot of patience.
