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.

zac efron as light? do not fucking want

Same, Please not him hahaha
Why not? He's a decent actor, and looks exactly like light.

It probably has to do with the fact that at the time of that post it had only been like a year since the last HS Musical came out. I probably would've said the same thing back then, now I wouldn't have any opposition to him playing Light.

Terry Crews stated on his AMA thread (Ask Me Anything) on Reddit that his favorite anime ever was Ghost in the Shell and he believed that it was inspiring and beautiful. He says he has to see it once every couple months. It made me love him even more since he has so many famous comedic scenes in movies.

For anyone who plays League of Legends, there are a bunch of pro video games players who absolutely love anime and have no shame with it which is not really suprising. Henrik Hansen aka Froggen who is arguably the best mid player in the world says he loves anime and his favorite anime is Angel Beats. He currently owns Angel Beats figurines which he showed on stream once. He almost always has an anime background for whenever he streams League of Legends. I also know Peter Peng aka Doublelift watches anime and has Karen from Nisemonogatari as his Twitter background page. He also has Asuna from SAO as his desktop wallpaper which I saw from the last time he streamed.

I love how Robin Williams says that Auska is a bad guy and that the Mass-Produced Evas

are the good guys.

Guess I should rephrase that: I hate celebrity cults.
If we knew that certain celebrities liked the things we like, we'd be no different from the shallow masses, who enjoy the most trivial aspects of these ultra-rich parasites.
Just look at the Justin Bieber fan base. I'd probably hate him even more if he turns out to like anime, since that would mean I share something in common with that pussy.
So no, I don't care about celebrities, never did, never will. Period.

Robin Williams is an EVA fan?!
I think I've died and gone to heaven.

Madonna used clips from Perfect Blue in her Drowned World Tour concerts. Also there was a music video by her where the backing dancers were all wearing those creepy anime head things.

Live action anime adaptations are sometimes good, and both Japan and Hollywood make their fair share of crappy ones.
