I’m Answering 73 Questions Inspired by Vogue

Is anyone else a fan of the Vogue: 73 Questions video series, where celebrities are asked a series of — yes, 73 questions — in a single shot? This rapid fire Q&S session is so intriguing, it’s kind of a like a peek into celebrities’ lives without knowing them intimately.

Not sure what I’m talking about? Head over to their youtube channel, or if you have Amazon Prime, you can catch the past three seasons of this series. Created by Joe Sabia, this series does involve a level of preparation, but he said that he wanted it to be as seamless as possible. He initially wrote down 100 questions, but narrowed it down to — you guessed it — 73 questions.

Watch celebrities like Lady Gaga, Tiffany Haddish, Reese Witherspoon, Victoria Beckham, Zac Efron, Neil Patrick Harris, and many more answer 73 questions in one single shot. Even Vogue’s own Anna Wintour answered 73 questions!
