Los Angeles, Oct. 8: Mr Mark Zuckerberg ended up seeing The Social Network after all. The Facebook co-founder and CEO took his staff to a screening, a company spokesperson confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter.
“To celebrate a period of intense activity at Facebook, we decided to go to the movies. We thought this particular movie might be amusing,” the spokesperson said. Mr Zuckerberg had said he wouldn’t watch the movie, written by Mr Aaron Sorkin and directed by Mr David Fincher. But he called the film “fun” in an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show to promote his $100 million donation to New Jersey schools .
On Thursday, the Social Network cast were in London to promote their movie ahead of the Oscars and the Bafta Awards. There, Justin Timberlake admitted he “would have kicked the door down” for a role in the movie.
