Celebrity Fans

[Weyoun 251]

I couldn't find the proper thread to add this to so apologies if it could go somewhere better,

Anyway, I was listening to an interview between Cody Rhodes and Ariel Helwani in the lead up to Wrestlemania and they play a game of darts (seems to be standard on Helwani's show for him to play his guest) and Cody starts talking about DS9 and how it is O'brien and Bashir's game of choice.

Not only was it cool to see that Cody Rhodes is clearly one of us, it got me thinking about other mainstream interviews/instances where the topic is non-Trek but celebs start talking about Star Trek and which unlikely celebrities turn out of be fans.

If anyone can think of any, please do add them as it will be cool to see

 

[NCC-73515]

Obama, Tom Hanks

 

[Tuskin38]

Lance Reddick (RIP)

 

[Bea Jonas]

You never know who'll profess a love of Trek. According to the Michael Dorn on The Ready Room, the late, great singer Lou Rawls was a fan.

 

[somebuddyX]

Obviously Ben Stiller with his 30th anniversary appearance and Mugatu.
Christian Slater.
Kirsty Alley was a fan of Spock I believe before TWOK.
Karl Urban.
I believe the guys from On Cinema are or maybe it's just a joke about TWOK and TVH.

 

[JesterFace]

He might not be a massive celebrity but In Flames guitarist Björn Gelotte confessed liking Star Trek.

And for some reason the credits on some of their albums end with words "May the force be with you".

 

[M'rk son of Mogh]

Mila Kunis is a HUGE fan.

 

[Tosk]

Mick Fleetwood and Rosario Dawson. Simon Pegg and Seth MacFarlane.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I believe Tom Morello from RATM is a huge Trekkie which is why he wanted to be on VOY.

Jeff Bezos is a fan and played an alien officer at Yorktown (the one who set up the universal translator) in Star Trek Beyond.

Did you see Cody's cosplay in AEW? DDP and MJF in Starfleet uniforms is... something.

 

[Richard S. Ta]

Snoop Dogg!

Also, writer and producer, Russell T Davies.

I haven't seen that - will try and look it up but if you have a link that would be quality.

Snoop Dogg!

As if Snoop is a fan! That is mint like. You know he'd be working in the Hydroponics Bay if he was a member of the crew...

There was some docu-show about celebrities houses and he has a HUGE painting of Star Wars ships fighting Star Trek ships.

Also he starred in this movie: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unbelievable!!!!!

Google 'Star Trek Mural Snoop Dogg' to see the full thing. It's massive. Corridor length and spans both sides.

It is indeed mint to imagine Snoop settling down with a massive blunt to watch TNG or something.

Saw him live last week and that man still has it. Now that only thing that would have made it better would have been if he had thrown some LLAP hand signs up

 

[Nyotarules]

Whoopi Goldberg, hence her presence on the show

 

[XCV330]

Nicolas Cage is a pretty famous fan.
King Abdullah II of Jordan. (who had a walk-on in VOY). He was close to getting a Star Trek theme park done in Jordan before daesh ruined a lot more than that.

 

[1001001]

Jason Alexander is a huge fan. So is Kelsey Grammer.

 

[Relayer1]

Can't say I'd heard of Cody Rhodes and Ariel Helwani but I understand that musician Mike Oldfield is a fan.

 

[UssGlenn]

What I wouldn't give to have seen the Trek/Who crossover they were thinking about before Enterprise got cancelled.
