6 Famous people who genuinely believe the Earth is flat

1. B.o.B

Most famous for his hit song 'Airplanes', B.o.B is probably best known as a rapper. However, it also seems that he considers himself to be somewhat of an expert on the curvature of the Earth, as he posted this tweet last year which seemingly implies that the planet is flat.

Many people thought he was joking at the time, but a further tweet this year seems to confirm that his beliefs are genuine.

2. Kyrie Irving

When he's not competing for the Boston Celtics in the NBA, Kyrie Irving apparently spends his time pondering the shape of our humble little home planet. More than that, actually, he seems to be outright convinced that we've all been duped by the powers that be. During a podcast interview, he said:

"This is not even a conspiracy theory. It's right in front of our faces. I'm telling you, it's right in front of our faces. They lie to us.

"If you really think about it from the landscape of the way we travel, the way we move, and the fact that -- can you really think of us rotating around the sun and all planets aligned, rotating in specific dates, being perpendicular with what's going on with these planets?

"The truth is right there. You've just got to go searching for it."

3. Tila Tequila

4. AJ Styles

Although the WWE wrestler has since distanced himself from the flat Earth theory and claimed that he is definitely not a Flat-Earther, AJ Styles was once recorded saying that the notion of a flat Earth "made sense."

He later second-guessed himself, and said, "I do not think the world is flat...I’m just saying there’s some stuff about it, that’s all."

5. Freddie Flintoff

The British Cricketer and former England team captain recently made some surprising statements on a sports podcast, indicating that - not only does he think our planet is flat - he also believes it's part of a government conspiracy to make us believe it's round.

"If you're in a helicopter and you hover, why does the Earth not come to you if it's round

"The middle is the North Pole; around the outside is the South Pole which is like a big wall of ice. 

"This is why all governments now have bases on the South Pole."

6. Daniel Shenton

Ok, so this guy is literally the President of the Flat Earth Society. Most of his "proof" that the world is flat consists of him taking pictures of flat areas of land, obviously not taking into account that the planet is obviously HUGE and that you could get the same effect if you zoomed in super close on a beach ball or some other round object.
