Pop Culture Icon: Stephen Hawking Wants To Keep Up With The Kardashians?



Renowned astrophysicist Stephen Hawking says he can only achieve a "pop culture icon" status if he appears on the reality show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians.


While it was hopefully merely a joke, one of the world's most brilliant scientists said this when interviewed recently by ABC. 

ABC's World News Tonight anchor David Muir asked Hawking about his mentions in The Simpson’s, Star Trek, Pink Floyd and the Hollywood movie based on his life, saying, “How does it feel to be a pop culture icon?”

To this question the astrophysicist jokingly responded, "I won't feel like a true pop culture icon until I've been on the Kardashians."

Muir then told Hawking to be careful what he wishes for. Indeed!

Don't just take our word for it. Watch the video on the OK! website here.
