Q: What do Cameron Diaz, Christian Bale, Joanne Peh and Van Fan all have in common?

A: They have all taken part in Answers over the last couple of years.

And, they have not been the only ones: there’s a long list of celebrities that have chosen to pose their question to the Answers community and eagerly review your responses.

However, many of you have expressed feelings of concern towards the authenticity of these public figures on Answers. Well, we think you deserve an answer to your questions on this regard: of course they are who they say they are (you’ll recognise them because you’ll see a green badge with the label “Official” under their avatar)!

It’s that simple. You know us, and we are always talking about our community guidelines, our terms of service, and respecting the law. Well, that applies to us too, and we would never allow someone impersonating a public figure (or a non-public figure, of course).

Now, let us explain the workflow to you: the celebrity asks the question (you can see many recorded on video), the community answers the question and the celebrity chooses the best Answer. For example, that’s the case of our latest celebrity: Seann William Scott (see the video here).

And that’s it: there’s no trick or behind-the-scenes movements, and of course they are who they say they are! And… they are amazed at the passion the Answers Community puts in their Answers. Way to go!

Now it’s your turn to Answer: which celebs would you like to see on Answers? We don’t promise anything, but we’d love to hear your suggestions and do our best to make your dreams come true!
