ONE OF THE most popular features on Reddit are the AMAs, a Q&A in which Reddit users are invited to ask any question of a particular person. At this stage, anyone who is anyone has done a Reddit AMA. Barack Obama, Bill Gates, Stephen King – they’ve all been there, done that.
Now they’ve emerged as the go-to social media tool for celebrities promoting films, albums, etc. and are usually a treasure trove for amusing anecdotes, gossip or nuggets of insight.
Here are some brilliant moments from celebrity Reddit AMAs.
1. Aaron Paul on the differences between himself and Jesse Pinkman.
2. Madonna on her best birthday present.
3. Matt Damon remarking on how much of a child George Clooney truly is.
4. George Clooney talking smack about Daniel Day-Lewis.
