Any celebrities that like Dragon Ball?
Like any well known actors or writers or athletes? Not like other well known Japanese mangaka or anything because that's somewhat expected but like famous people more so from America and Europe and such.

Re: Any celebrities that like Dragon Ball?
Actually I remember some guy a-long time when I watched MTV cribs pulled out the box sets of the Ocean Dub and was talking about them haha I just can't remember who he was
The Dragonboxes are like a middle aged woman who still looks good through simply taking good care of her skin and body with maybe a tiny bit of makeup while the Orange Bricks are like a middle aged woman who get's 50 tons of botox, makeup and plastic surgery in order to look younger and as a result looks even worse. ~ ringworm128

Re: Any celebrities that like Dragon Ball?
Jackie Chan is a fan and has met Toriyama on several occasions. It is kinda cool that the man that inspired the series is a fan himself.
Slightly related, he also wore an Arale costume suit in the film My Lucky Stars.

Re: Any celebrities that like Dragon Ball?
I'm not sure exactly why but this just made my morning! It's great to think that Jackie Chan met up with Toriyama before and just had some conversational exchanges between them. I wonder what their conversation was like/about, and they definitely needed a translator.Makaioshin wrote:Jackie Chan is a fan and has met Toriyama on several occasions.

I mean, whether Jesus is real or not, he - he's had a bigger impact on the world than any of us have. And the same can be said for Bugs Bunny and - and Superman and Harry Potter. They've changed my life - changed the way I act on the earth. Doesn't that make them kind of real? They might be imaginary but, but they're more important than most of us here. And they're all gonna be around here long after we're dead. So, in a way, those things are more realer than any of us.

Re: Any celebrities that like Dragon Ball?
There was a topic somewhere here about celebrities who liked Dragon Ball but.. they were mostly just rappers.
Snoop Dogg was one of them, iirc.

In the UK, Jonathan Ross and Bill Bailey are both fans - the latter of which has been seen on TV wearing Dragonball shirts multiple times. In fact, during his last comedy tour, he played a commercial he recorded for a Japanese product where he was always wearing a Goku shirt.

Re: Any celebrities that like Dragon Ball?
Jackie Chan is an obvious one.
Also, Chris Brown also did say it was his favorite anime once. I wonder why ....

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.
Re: Any celebrities that like Dragon Ball?
Hong Kong actor-director Stephen Chow is definitely a fan of Dragon Ball.
He has entire sets of several Shonen Jump manga on his shelf and known to be quite knowledgeable on Shonen Jump properties.
Speaking of Jackie Chan, I used to work for him. Translated special features for several of his movies on DVD from Chinese to English. Incidentally, I wouldn't have learned how to read Chinese if it weren't for Dragon Ball.

Rafael Nadal is now at the top of my cool list.
Christina Aguilera was always cool.

To be perfectly honest, I couldn't care less about the fans a re-issue might alienate because if all they're concerned about is being able to scalp the people who were either unaware of the Dragon Boxes or couldn't afford them at the time, they're just leeches and deserve to have their greed backfire on them.

Re: Any celebrities that like Dragon Ball?
So it looks like Jackie Chan is the only A list celebrity that's a fan?
Christina Aguilera isn't necessarily a fan just because a poster appeared in a music video and the rest are D list material.

Patiently waiting the day when a new name finally pops in one of these threads. It's the same answers to this question every year.
