Cubing Celebrities

We have collected pictures of celebrities solving, posing with, or telling their opinion about the Rubik's Cube.
We didn't include actors playing with the cube in movies because we have allocated a separate list for that the puzzle featured in movies, video clips and commercials.

Neil deGrasse Tyson

Neil deGrasse Tyson, the well-known American astrophysicist and science communicator says his fastest Rubik's Cube solve was 76 seconds back in the '90s. Claims that, in his early years, he could solve it in about five minutes using a method he created himself after experimenting roughly 80 hours of on the couch, without ever looking up algorithms or any tutorial.

Stephen Curry

Apart from training with his kids, mastering the art of singing and playing golf indoors Steph also learned how to solve a Rubik’s Cube. His wife Ayesha also posted a video on his Instagram where she and her daughter can't believe that daddy learned to do it with his eyes closed.
