George Lucas, Orlando Bloom, Oliver Stone, Tina Turner, Harrison Ford, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCRAPio, Keanu Reeves, Jennifer Lopez arn't Buddhists, there's probably more on that list that arn't either

George Lucas calls himself a "Buddhist Methodist," whatever that is. Several news sources have claimked that Reeves is a Buddhist, for whatever they're worth. Jennifer Lopez converted to Buddhism after starring in a movie with Richard Gere, or so I've read. Oliver Stone has said in an interview that "I'm a student [of Buddhism], but don't consider me a good one necessarily.." Orlando Bloom? Definitely a Buddhis (also Nichiren, I think).

I think you might be right about Ford and DiCaprio.

Yeah like the Khabala faze, lol

But some of them do actually stick with it. Turner has been a buddhist for close to 30 yrs..... Gere is really really into it. So who are we to question their faith?

Yes, its likely that Siddartha was a practicing Buddhist.

I don't think a person can follow himself. Buddha was a Hindu, just like Jesus was a Jew.

And by the way, many of those people may draw on Buddhist principles, but that doesent make them buddhist.

We are all Buddhists, regardless if we're aware of it or not, or just simply choose to deny it for the sake of being worthless and ignorant trolls like the idiot going by the JesusIsAlive handle

Yeah. The fun part of Buddhism, is that you can call yourself one and never really have to know anything about it.

However, isn't that also true for Christianity.

Religions like "claiming" famous figures that are either ambiguous in their beliefs or at one point had ties to their religion. If I became famous, I have no doubt Catholicism (and militant Catholics making spam threads on discussion boards) would list me as a famous Catholic. "Mark {insert last name} does it, and he's sexy as hell! You should too!"

Then I'd be like "Wtf" and post a dur smilie and a pic of a dog getting pwned or somesuch.

...

Long story short, I'll guarantee that list (or any) isn't terribly accurate. Except for this...
