Like the topic suggest , do you know any actor / actress from your country or another country that have watched anime or read manga? Please take note that it can be non-otaku , just some actor / actress / anyone popular.

From my country , we have VJ Daniel (Daniel Mananta). He's an actor and a VJ for MTV Indonesia. Before he starts his career , he said that he's an otaku, and having tons of figurines in his house. but idk if he's still an otaku or not

you can find out about him here

From other country , i know Alessandro Del Piero , an Italian soccer superstar. He's inspired by Captain Tsubasa , so we can assume that he have already read that manga.

you can find out about him here (though i think you guys have known him)

Do you know other people as well? feel free to comment ! :D

Though I think it's not too unusual for japanese ppl to like manga/anime, Yukimi Matsuo (Miss Japan Universe 2013) is really fond of manga and plans to continue her career as a mangaka instead of a model :D

idk if this have a connection with him watching K-On , but Jason Mraz's song "Try Try Try" have some sounds bg from K-ON. and some says that Taylor Swift , when she sang You Belong With Me , his producer gave her some nerdy things (books , mangas) but she respond : "I already have it at home , so i don't need it" , but this is most likely just a rumor.

Oh and i heard that Linkin Park loves anime too.

Avril Lavigne have contributed 2 songs for One Piece film Z too. some says that she's a big fan of One Piece

I wonder what the source of this info is. Cool if it's true, these guys have pretty good taste...

Well, it's not unusual.
Anime is more appreciated and normal in the US than in, for example, Europe.
Also, if you look at all the animes that they like, they all fit into their age-range, they probably watched and loved it when they were kids and still do.
Still surprising to see DiCaprio liking CG lol
(and even more surprising to see Kanye West playing eroge > >)
