| I remember Zac Efron saying he likes Death Note, Bleach and Naruto in some interviews. |

| Andrew Eldritch (the leader of the Sisters of Mercy band) likes anime, mostly older movies like Akira and also hentai involving tentacles, like Urotsukidoji etc. |
riotdisco said: Madonna, apparently. She dates Jesus, so yeah, whatever. |
| I've heard tales that Robin Williams is a big Evangelion fan. |
PolleyPower said: I've heard tales that Robin Williams is a big Evangelion fan. I think he also likes Steam Boy. And this, Zac Efron stated he liked DeathNote and Bleach, and a big fan of shounen jump. He even stated he would love to play as light in a live action movie. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zac_Efron |

| Kanye "Lemme just say" West apparently is a fan of Akira. As is Leonardo DeCaprio, as he is producing and starring in the American Live-action version, according to rumour. There are bound to be others, but it isn't something most celebs would parade around as animeis still seen as a wee bit geeky. Though Zac Efron's apparent interest will probably up its popularity, and give us the headache of annoying know-nothing Efron fangirls. Though they can't be much worse than some of the weaboo fangirls we are used to. http://www.animevice.com/news/is-this-for-real-famous-animemanga-fans/3194/ This blog mentions a few of the rumoured 'celeb' fans, and their likes. Not that all of them are confirmed or anything. |

Also, John Leguizamo (an actor, really famous for voicing "Sid the Sloth" in the Ice Ages movies) was in a radio interview I heard last year. He said he likes to watch anime and read manga, although he didn't list any favorites. |

| The guys from Linkin Park all say they are big anime fans. Keanu Reeves has said he likes Sci-fi anime and he's playing Spike now.... James Cameron is another big fan. He wants to do Battle Angel which would be interesting. Quentin Tarentino is also a big anime fan. Robin Williams is a huge anime fan. He collects a lot of anime, he mentions his love of anime in many, many interviews. |
 |
| Ooh, they guys from Cinema Bizarre are anime fans (you might not have heard of them, but they're reasonably big in Germany and they opened for Lady GaGa during her tour). They met at an anime convention. |

I've heard of Jonathan Ross (I'm from the U.S.). He comes up in a lot of the David Bowie videos I find on YouTube. I didn't think he would be a big anime fan. |
 |
| I remember Keanu Reeves saying that he's a huge fan of Cowboy Bebop in some interviews about the movie, but that wouldn't necessarily make him an anime fan. I do know that Quentin Tarentino is very much into both anime and Japanese culture, so he's a Japanophile XD. |

Ken_of_Hokuto said: I don't know why people don't want Zac Effron to be Light Yagami. Have you seen the Death Note movie? Well I think that Light there is good enough. And L is just perfect. |

Ken_of_Hokuto said: I don't know why people don't want Zac Effron to be Light Yagami. I seriously don't see the big fuss as well. If he likes the series, that might actually be a good thing, since he will be able to play the character better. And he may have played in some rather 'unfortunate' movies before, but doesn't every actor/actress have so at the start of their career? The kid's just twenty-something. This might be a nice opportunity to show some more of his abilities. And plus, he has the looks. (Not the hot ones, though, he is handsome for a guy, I guess, perhaps even to the feminine side, but he does have a certain similiarity to Light, which you can't ignore). Done. |
PolleyPower said: I've heard tales that Robin Williams is a big Evangelion fan. Robin just got 100x times cooler (and he was already pretty damn cool). |

| Now the question is... Anime fans, how do you feel about having people that even though they reveal their liking for fandom to a much bigger audience are not outcasts of society and do not complain about it? |

KyuuA4 said: la_tigra said: I'm just curious... n_n How many of you know any famous people? Also... has anyone mentioned Samuel L Jackson yet?! I do. On my friend circle as well. But they don't seem to have an overly fascination for anime. |

| Justin Pierre, lead singer of Motion City Soundtrack, has been quoted to be a pretty big fan of anime too (although what particularly, I don't know). |

| There's a football player by the name of Andre Gurode in the NFL that said he watched Naruto and Bleach because of their gun-ho attitude. |

| I know Johnation Ross, from the Uk, watches Anime and calls himself an Otaku. :) Also there's Swifty from Youtube, he's not really a celebrity but I call him as one due to his youtube fame. |
| Thanks! Made. My. Day. |

| I saw on youtube a fan giving Kirk Hammet from Metallica a Hokuto No Ken Movie, and he said "Oh, is it Fist of the North Star?" before the fan even got to take it out of his bag. So I guess he has some experience with Anime. |
| Keanu Reeves liked Cowboy Bebop, apparently |

| This thread makes me hate Hollywood again. Every single live action movie based off anime will fucking suck. |
Drunk_Samurai said: This thread makes me hate Hollywood again. Every single live action movie based off anime will fucking suck. Because Hollywood is the only place in the world where movies are made right? Let alone the only place that does anime adaptations. I can name a few that were quite good: Crying Freeman (The one with Mark Dacascos of course) City Hunter Initial D GTO Cromartie Highschool Yatterman Dororo The Guyver 2: Dark Hero Mushishi Cutie Honey |

This is awesome, but at the same time I'm not surprised given a lot of their music sounds like it would be right at home in NANA. Non-quote related, Robert Pattinson continues to prove he has great taste and is just part of a really shitty franchise. |
