# Turns out celebrities on Reddit are mostly just regular redditors Researched with Autumn (https://www.autumn.ai) from public sources. Updated 2026-11-06. Interactive version: https://www.autumn.ai/resources/celebrities-on-reddit We read through 7,826 posts and comments from 100 famous people's Reddit accounts. A few showed up for one AMA and left. A lot of them stuck around to argue about video games, ask for help with a bug, or quietly post in r/bjj like everybody else. 326 real posts and replies from 100 celebrities' Reddit accounts, from Daniel Radcliffe to Anthony Bourdain, quoted exactly and linked. The companion game, "Can you tell which celeb wrote this?": https://www.autumn.ai/resources/celebrities-on-reddit/guess ## Six things we noticed ### The AMA years Most of them showed up for an AMA first: 75 of these 100 accounts have posted in r/IAmA. The good answers were almost never about the thing they came to promote. - Jon Stewart (u/RealJonStewart) in r/IAmA: https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/2maof9/i_am_jon_stewart_tiny_host_man_ama/cm2fpgo/ - Chris Hadfield (u/ColChrisHadfield) in r/IAmA: https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/18pik4/i_am_astronaut_chris_hadfield_currently_orbiting/c8gtr3j/ ### The ones who stayed 44 of them kept at it for five years or more, and 19 posted or commented in 2026. Hank Green's account goes back to 2006. - Wil Wheaton (u/wil) in r/startrek: https://www.reddit.com/r/startrek/comments/ccigy9/want_to_feel_old_today_i_am_the_same_age_patrick/ - Hank Green (u/ecogeek) in r/chicago: https://www.reddit.com/r/chicago/comments/1u0ri1r/to_the_hank_green_fan_and_bicyclist_that_i/oqkmatp/ ### Hiding in hobby subreddits Away from the AMAs they turn up wherever their hobby is. 73 of the 80 posts and comments we found from Anthony Bourdain's account are in r/bjj. - Anthony Bourdain (u/NooYawkCity) in r/bjj: https://www.reddit.com/r/bjj/comments/2k50b9/who_started_bjj_over_50/cli9e4d/ - Gabe Newell (u/GabeNewellBellevue) in r/questionablecontent: https://www.reddit.com/r/questionablecontent/comments/m7o04m/anyone_ever_wonder_if_gaben_still_reads_qc/grffmxi/ ### Wait, is that really you? Somebody always asks. Sometimes they have to prove it, sometimes they just shrug it off. - Jonathan Nolan (u/jonathannolan) in r/westworld: https://www.reddit.com/r/westworld/comments/5aiwfu/ama_request_jonathan_nolan/d9h8fml/ - Hank Green (u/ecogeek) in r/nerdfighters: https://www.reddit.com/r/nerdfighters/comments/1toqxg9/what_do_we_reckon_this_is_about_people/oo7hhy9/ ### Reading about themselves They read the threads about themselves too, and now and then they jump in to fix the details. - Arnold Schwarzenegger (u/GovSchwarzenegger) in r/europe: https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/comments/m0bakm/18yearold_arnold_schwarzenegger_serving_as_a_tank/gq7tomb/ - Marques Brownlee (u/Marques-Brownlee) in r/cars: https://www.reddit.com/r/cars/comments/17lian7/on_his_podcast_mkbhd_claims_nissan_has_never_made/k7g3o17/ ### Answering ordinary questions Ask Reddit something normal and the answer might come from somebody famous. - Gabe Newell (u/GabeNewellBellevue) in r/Porsche: https://www.reddit.com/r/Porsche/comments/k7n981/friend_offered_me_to_take_his_gt2_rs_to_the_track/gestrr6/ - Brandon Sanderson (u/mistborn) in r/writing: https://www.reddit.com/r/writing/comments/3ohtgx/look_at_all_the_people_that_showed_up_for_my_book/cvxf8ha/ ## Best moments ### **Brandon Sanderson** (u/mistborn) in r/relationship_advice, Jul 1, 2020 · Advice Replying to a redditor: > I can only think based on everything I’ve ever seen about him that u/mistborn, the author of The Stormlight Archive himself, would agree with everyone here and tell you to ditch that dorkus.

But hi, I'm the author of said book. > > I can completely understand your boyfriend's passion here. I love it when people enjoy the things I love--and when I was dating my wife, we exchanged favorite books. (I read the Blue Sword, and my wife read the Eye of The World.) > > But, one thing I've learned through many years working in storytelling is that not every story is meant for every person. It feels like you gave it a good try, and you shouldn't feel guilty for not liking a piece of art. If we all liked every piece of art, we'd all be the same. It's our variety that make us interesting--and that is part of what makes relationships work. We each bring different things to the table, so to speak. > > I don't know anything other than what you've posted here, but if I were to theorize a little, he probably wants you to do this because the book touched him powerfully. (I've had that experience with other books.) He wants to share that with you. But maybe you can gently nudge him to explain to you why he loves it--and in so doing, he could help you understand him without requiring you to understand the book. Because that's the important part--understanding him, and what about him connected with the words I wrote. > > I often find that people in /r/relationship_advice are quicker to give up on relationships than I would be. I believe in working for things, but it does trouble me to hear he won't answer your texts. So maybe you can show him this post, from me. Perhaps he's feeling that you trivialize something he loves, and doesn't understand the effort you've legitimately made. Maybe he doesn't yet understand that the wonderful thing about art is how deeply personal it is--and because of that, we can't be upset if another personality doesn't find our same connection to it. > > I know my books have brought a lot of people together. I'd hate to find out one tore some asunder instead. If it helps, you can note to him that I told you I generally don't start people on The Way of Kings from my works because I recognize it's a difficult book to get into, and 1200 page epic fantasy novels with strange worldbuilding just aren't right for everyone. My own brother hasn't read it, and I love him all the same. :) (Excerpt.)

I mean, I knew the man was a millionaire, goodness knows I've bought enough books to help him reach that status, but I just sort of never made that connection in my brain. Good for him though. > Ha. If you saw the rest of my house, you'd think of it as a nice (but middle class) house in suburbia. But when I bought that house in 2008 (which was, admittedly, the exact right time to be buying a house...) I noticed there was a lot next door, undeveloped. > > So I started to plan. And the next year, I bought that lot. When my wife asked what I wanted to do with it, I was quite decisive. > > I wanted an underground supervillain lair. > > I've spent the last eleven years planning it, and it's almost done. Still a few things we need to get finished. The place where the filming took (it's a little nook under the mezzanine) will be my office. The big portion outside (with the fishtank) is what I'm calling the Adventurer's Club--a kind of large gathering space. > > Up the steps (with the stained glass windows) goes beneath the driveway into the regular house. The theater is off the mezzanine. I am a bit of a movie buff, and one of my dreams has always been for a nice theater. Though it's owned by me, we use it as a company perk, assigning one night a week to each of my core team. (Peter and Karen have Mondays reserved, Emily and I take Wednesdays, etc. Two nights a week are wildcards for other members of the company to reserve for their friends or family.) > > It's...admittedly a little extravagant. Mostly because I stuck it all below ground for...well, reasons. I mean, you can't put a supervillain lair where everyone else can just see it out in the open, right? (Excerpt.)

The hardest part was getting up to speed with the warm ups. That took some time. And For a long time, got squashed, day in, day out, by younger, faster, often heavier partners--but that's every white belt's story. I've been lucky with injuries. A bad groin pull last week being the first serious reminder of my...limitations. > I love all of it. > The soreness, the carrot fingers, mat burn, the ego-destroying ass kickings, just when you think you're getting somewhere. I'm hooked. I know I will never be young again. I am well aware that I'm only getting slower, more fragile over time. That I will probably never live to see black belt or win any competitions. But I'm pretty sure I will suck a little bit less every month . That while I will never master this skill, will at least, hopefully, get better and better at it. And every once in a great while, I will sweep some young upper belt, or maybe even catch one in a triangle . > And that makes me happy.

The scene started with Wesley standing, and after half a page or so, he sits down at the conn and I think plots a course or something. > > Whenever Wesley sat down, he pulled his jacket tight, just like Picard always did. If you look, you'll see that we all do that. That's an important bit of context: we all did that. > > So it was like take four of the scene. After we cut on take three, this producer came into the set and stood off camera, just to the right of the viewscreen, as we were looking at it. We do take four, and while we are resetting for take five, this producer comes over to me, leans down so nobody can hear him, and says, "You can't pull your tunic down like that. That's the Picard Maneuver, and only Picard can do that." > > So, first of all: this guy is so far out of his lane, he isn't on the map. If anyone is ever going to talk to an actor, especially in between takes, it **always** goes through the First Assistant Director, and the Director. It's a matter of professional respect, and it's important for our work. If anyone can come up and give us notes or whatever, we will end up with all these conflicting notes, unsure which one to actually listen to. > > I know all of this, but I don't want to get in trouble, so I just say, "...okay. How am I supposed to stop it from riding up to my tits when I sit down? Because that's what happens." > > He looks so annoyed at me, and sort of bark-whispers, "Just don't touch it." And he walks away. > > I am about to engage in a bit of passive resistance, a bit of malicious compliance, because I am so tired of being treated differently than these same people treat the adults, and I still haven't learned how to speak up for myself, directly. > > We reset, they roll, and when Wesley sits down, his tunic comes all the way up, just like I said it would. It exposes my fake muscle suit, my bracers holding up my trousers, and absolutely ruins the take. > > "Cut!" The director calls from offstage. > > "Wil, you have to pull your tunic down," he says, with this tone of utter confusion. Like, *obviously*. > > "Yeah, I know," I say, looking straight at the guy who is about to wish he'd stayed in his lane, "but [his name] told me that I wasn't allowed to do the Picard Maneuver, so..." and I shrug, the tunic still bunched up. > > That guy turned so bright red, he lit up in the darkness. Everyone on the entire crew looked at him. He sputtered something, and quickly walked out of the stage. > > I made eye contact with Brent and with Frakes. They both looked back at me, communicating their approval. It felt great. > > That guy never gave me a note again. If I recall correctly, my little tunic tug (similar to, yet legally distinctly different from the Picard Maneuver) is in the final cut of the episode.

You have to get up like a machine and train. Your mind is your enemy. It will have a million reasons you should stay in bed or why you are better starting out on Monday. What is the difference between Monday and tomorrow? Your body has no idea what day you are training, so what the hell is your mind talking about? When your brain starts going in the morning, say it out loud to yourself: Don’t think. It is your mantra. And one day in a few months, you’ll start to feel weird if you don’t train.

This is a fantastic memory. Lucy called me at the gym after she saw me on the Merv Griffin show and asked me to be part of this because she thought I was funny. You have to understand what a huge opportunity this was. She was the queen of TV. She saved me at the beginning because I was a forehead and didn’t know “shoot live” meant there would be an audience. When I came out of that door and saw the crowd, I was a deer in headlights. > > Lucy couldn’t have been more of a jewel. She gave me advice on Hollywood and continued to check in on me. > > This is also a good reminder that the giant success you in the world see a lot of times was a longer road of smaller success than you think. This was really my screen debut because the company that made Hercules in New York went bankrupt and wasn’t able to release the film. And it was 10 years before Terminator came out! 8 years before Conan. Seeing something like this is just really fantastic because you can see how going on the Merv Griffin show built up to this, and then this built up to things like Stay Hungry… and eventually the blockbusters. This is why I’m always telling people to spend more time celebrating the small wins. You are building up to something. (Excerpt.)

But any object that is sufficiently thick but also sufficiently pliable that it's going to press down on the blade while it's cutting IS going to create drag on the blade. > > The Blade does, by necessity of my understanding of the relevant physics, need to be able to vaporize a tiny bit of matter into Investiture while cutting, in order to create space for the Blade to continue to slide through. This is related to why it doesn't cut things with souls. > > At the same time, I'm not convinced that this is relevant to the actual question being asked. I think that I have to relent that, with a sufficiently large block of cheese and a Shardbearer trying to cut lengthwise through it, the drag produced on the flat of the blade is going to tire the Shardbearer. Making cheese legitimately more difficult to cut through than stone or metal. And a big enough block of cheese might stop the slice straight up, because the weight placed on the blade will be pretty heavy. > > That said, the top replies to this thread are pretty relevant, and are correctly explaining the mechanics of the situation. There is this little "shield of vaporization" around a Blade while it cuts, so a thinner Blade (like Szeth's Honorblade) might not have this drawback at all. It depends on how far back the shield of vaporization extends, and how thick the blade is. > > My current instinct says that wider blades would be stopped by this, and so those of you planning to make ten-foot-thick walls of cheese to stop an invading Shardbearer can continue in your...endeavors. > > Remember, kids, keep your Shardblade thin for actual combat (for multiple reasons.) Only make the big showy forms when you're trying to look intimidating.

Also, what was the most pleasantly surprised you've ever been with something you've been served (whether it was the place you were eating, the name of the dish, etc). > So the easiest dish to turn into something awful would be, for me, cooking a great steak.

Season it properly, and then cook it once it's up to room temperature. > > And then the biggest mistake that people make once they've cooked a steak, instantly, is they cut into the middle of it. You've got to let the steak rest for as long as you cook it. That way, it's plump, it's juicier, and don't worry about the temperature being piping hot, but just the value and the difference in flavor once you've let a New York strip rest for 6 or 7 minutes. The difference is night and day. So, great sear, but let it rest. > > Food that really pleasantly surprised me more than anything, you know, I'm all about dressings and vinaigrettes, especially this time of year. So, making a great salad is making sure that you dry those leaves, because if the salad is damp, you'll never taste that vinaigrette. So there's so many certain ways, with fresh honey, basil, lots of herbs and vinaigrettes that can make it so much more interesting.

There is really no way that throwing nuclear bombs into the Sun could "restart" it, and for that matter the way the Sun is initially failing in the film isn't plausible either. BUT. It's a beautiful film! Gorgeous visuals! Great soundtrack! And the way the crew of the spaceship work together to figure out what to do and all that is very cool!
