That's funny, because  was just wondering what might happen if David Beckham made some statement about enjoying Lego. Sounds like it already happened then. Maybe when his daughter is old enough, he'll say something good about Lego Friends.

Let me load up for dirt cheap first 

 

Now that you mention it, I seem to recall hearing something about the Indiana Jones line from Harrison Ford in an interview once upon a time...Perhaps my memory isn`t so good, but it rings a bell.

Ah yes, that was it! 

 

I took a sec to search for this. Here is the article I remember seeing, but it wasn`t Lego at all. Nor was it during an interview. But it was Mr.Potato Head! Man I need to get my head checked.

If she had made that foam finger out of lego, it would have shattered almost immediately.

Depends on your definition of "celebrity", I guess... but Ming Chen from AMC's "Comic Book Men" just posted a few pics of his Lego Delorean on Instagram the other day.

Holy crap! Brad Pitt is fifty years old!? When did that happen?

[sadowsk1]

I think Ernest Borgnine liked Lego.

James May from the British show Top Gear did an hour long special about lego. I seem to remember he stayed in the house for a day and it was made out of something like 5 million bricks.
