Seven Great Celebrity Tweeters

Articles | 31 Aug 2010 | 10 comments

140 characters of celebrity wisdom, Movies.ie looks at seven of the best celebrity tweeters!

David Lynch



Where: http://twitter.com/DAVID_LYNCH


Who: Filmmaker and Visual Artist


Why?

The ever bonkers director behind such films as Lost Highway, Mulholland Drive Inland Empire, and creator of TV show Twin Peaks, Lynch's tweets are as cryptic and off the wall as the show that shot the director to success. Examples? Three red hands hold the dream or I built 3 small boxes to place behind 3 holes. I used epoxy & FixAll & built 3 small hands. It was a glorious weekend.



Stephen Fry



Where: http://twitter.com/stephenfry

Who:Director, Writer, Actor


Why?

Dry, witty and gay, what's not to love about the tweets of Stephen Fry. Typical tweets like "600 people went to the theatre, not to to see Oliver but to compete in a paper & chocolate wrapper rustling competition. Others came to cough" will keep you entertained until the next episode of QI.



Ed Norton


Where: http://twitter.com/EdwardNorton

Who: Actor


He's more than just the face of the incredible Hulk, Ed Norton is also a keen spokesman for environmental, political and social issues, as reflected in his twitter. Follow him for a more wholesome tweeting life, e.g. Been reading a lot on hemp as a superfood. incredible. so much better than soy. tried most of the hemp milks. liked "Tempt" best. thoughts?



Joseph Gordon-Levitt




Where: http://twitter.com/hitRECordJoe

Who: Actor


Why?

The star of 500 Days of Summer and Christopher Nolan's Inception is both cooler and smarter than you. Follow him for his political ramblings - e.g. This legislation will not fix everything that ails our healthcare system, but it moves us decisively in the right direction. - you'll probably learn something...



Jon Favreau


Where: http://twitter.com/Jon_Favreau
Who: Actor, Director, Film Fan!


Why? Often known to plug his own movies via twitter, you'll most likely read a mix of production info and film reviews from director Favreau. Follow him for the latest Iron Man info.



Nathan Fillion



Where:http://twitter.com/NathanFillion

Who: Actor


Why?


The star of Firefly/Serenity, Dr Horrible's Sing-a-long Blog and more recently Waitress, Fillion is a geek icon. Follow him for some very genuine and friendly tweets, e.g. OK my girlfriend is way to excited that u r filming Castle on her block now. :-) /via @richardchiu -- I know. We're dating now.

Nathan Fillion Twitter Try this: sneak up behind someone and say their name in their ear. Don't yell, just a calm voice, saying their name. Right in the ear.



Ben Stiller



Where: http://twitter.com/RedHourBen

Who: Actor, Comedian, Writer, Director


Why?


The comedian behind Zoolander, There's Something About Mary, and Tropic Thunder, Stiller's twitter is jam packed with celebs and given his comedic background, it's about 50 percent funnier than any other actors...

    Good list except for Ben Stiller. David Lynch rarely tweets though.

    Alyssa Milano tweets a lot, and I mean a lot
    Not Kevin Smith level though

  • lulalah

    No one could match Kevin Smith. I had to dump him. Thinking of dumping John Cusack as well. Never thought I'd say that.

  • Mr_Twist

    Well if you follow Stephen Fry you MUST follow Mrs Stephen Fry, very funny... I know thats not really a celebrity, but very good.
    I also enjoy the British actor David Schneider, very witty in 140 characters.

    Thinking of dumping Brian Cox as well. He seems to be travelling the world for his show and it's making me very jealous.

  • phoebe
