Question: What do Cameron Diaz, Leonardo Dicaprio and Bianca Gonzales all have in common?
Answer: 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, don’t worry because we’re setting the record straight – they are who they say they are, and you’ll recognize 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 in first instance, and we would never allow someone impersonating a public figure –or even 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 (who became famous in the American Pie movies).  Check out his video here.

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!

Now that you know they’re for real and not mere chika, it’s your turn to Answer.  Would you like to see more Pinoy celebs asking a question to the community?  If you say yes, who are the Pinoy stars that you wish to be in Answers?  We don’t promise anything, but we’d love to hear your suggestions and do our best to make your dreams come true!
