Celebrities who like Anime/Manga

Varik

I was listening to a podcast recently, jonathan ross was on talking about a game he's making.

The conversation moved to games he was playing and he's been playing ni no kuni wrath of the white witch which is a Ghibli collaboration, it turns out that he's a big anime fan and especially like Ghibli; he's got a box of spirited away dvds that he gives out to any kids and a few adults who visit his home.

There's a lot of famous nerds out there who you'd expect to have some knowledge but who's the most surprising person who've found out likes anime?

Jonathan Ross has been watching anime since before a lot of you were born!

Any of you remember the documentary he did for channel 4s Manga weekend in the early 90s? They were showing things like Akira, Patlabor and 3x3 eyes from what I recall. Blew my young preteen mind

From what I've heard, Samuel L Jackson fits in here. He does seem quite nerdy in some ways, I wouldn't be too surprised if my sources are true.

Leonardo DiCaprio is apparently a big fan which is why he wants to be involved in some live action productions like Akira.
