7 Celebrities Who Are Shamelessly Geeky

Leonardo has a huge personal collection of action figures and toys. Leo is a huge Star Wars fan and has been collecting vintage cards and action figures for quite a while.

We wouldn't have known much about it, except for the fact that he auctioned off part of his collection in 2006. The proceeds of the auction went toward the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation for charity.

One can only wonder what Leonardo has left in his collection.

Robin Williams was a huge video game buff. Williams bought a Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) shortly after it was released.

One of his favorite games on the console was The Legend of Zelda. Robin was addicted to the game and played it with his wife for hours at a time. They loved it so much that the couple decided to name their kid Zelda. 

Robin talks about his love for the game in the video below:

Star Wars: Ahsoka star Rosario Dawson is fluent in English, Spanish, and... Klingon! She is a huge Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica fan.

Rosario is also a self-professed comic book fan and even co-created the comic book miniseries Occult Crimes Taskforce.

Vin Diesel may be a huge action star on screen, but off camera, he is even a bigger geek.

He has been playing Dungeons and Dragons for over twenty years. You might be surprised to know that he even wrote the foreword for 30 Years of Adventure: A Celebration of Dungeons and Dragons.

While filming the movie XXX, Vin had a temporary tattoo with the name of his D&D character "Melkor" on his stomach.

In 2007 he founded his own gaming company, Tigon Studios, which publishes games primarily focused on the movies he stars in.

Vin's D&D love finally made it to the big screen with the movie The Last Witch Hunter. The movie is based on Melkor, his own personal D&D character.

After starring in films such as Ghost Rider, The Sorcerer's Apprentice, Kick-Ass, and Season of the Witch, it doesn't come as a big surprise that Nicolas Cage loves comic books and fantasy.

Nicholas has a huge comic book collection, worth millions of dollars. In 2000, some of his most valuable comics were stolen from his home.

In 2011 Cage's stolen mint condition Action Comics #1, valued at over a million dollars, was discovered in a storage locker and returned to him. The comic featured the first ever appearance of Superman, and was believed to be purchased by Cage in preparation for an unreleased 1990's Superman film he was to star in.

In 2005, Cage named his son Kal-El after the Last Son of Krypton.
