Celebs enjoy comics now. In fact, it’s considered kind of cool. Sometimes actors will feign an interest in comics to position their careers in the superhero action genre and comic book adaptation market. But there are some famous people out there whose love for comics and geek culture is genuine. Somehow, you can just tell. Theit knowledge of our realm isn’t superficial, their references aren’t passing. They mean it and you can tell. Here are a few of those people who have “real” geek cred.
There’s lots of others. Which ones did I forget?
Nicolas Cage is the first one to come to mind. From my understanding, he has one of the larger private collections in the country. Another one I’m pretty sure is a huge collector is John Lequizamo. I’m pretty sure he’s a huge Spider-Man fan! Great article Jason. Good to see we got some pretty cool reps in Hollywood!
Is Quentin Tarantino? That rings a bell. Also, I know Bill Hader and Seth Myers from SNL are. Their love of comics gAve them an opportunity to write a Spider-man comic, Spider-man: the short Halloween! It’s hilarious…I own it.
From the Sports World: Super Star Linebacker Lance Briggs of the Chicago Bears and Safety Brian Dawkins of the Denver Broncos are both avid comic book fans too.
Also, where’s the Kevin Smith love at?
First one That came to my mind is Sebastian Bach!
Cm Punk from WWE, Nic Cage, Chad Gilbert from New found glory. Rob Zombie.
Kevin Smith and Nic cage should have been the top two people in this list. They have talked about their collections for years. Sam L. Jackson just start when Unbreakable came out and that is when he went public.
I had never heard of 3, 2, and 1.
