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.

Watch the video where Steph presents what the Curry family is doing during the quarantine. 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.

The Rubik's Cube occasionally appears in particularly important movie scenes.
