Laverne Cox: ‘Orange Is The New Black’s’ Celebrity Fans Are ‘Amazing’

Celebs really are just like us – they too are obsessed with “Orange Is the New Black”!

Singers, actresses and even former talk show hosts are just a few of the famous fans of the Netflix series who have confessed their fandom to series star Laverne Cox.

“We have so many – it’s really through Twitter. I was in a fitting with [designer] Marc Bouwer and Toni Braxton was on the phone… and [Marc’s PR guy] was like, ‘I’m here with Laverne, I need to go’ and Toni was like, ‘Let me talk to Laverne!'” the actress revealed. “And she was so sweet and she’s a huge fan of the show!”

“She’s actually Tweeted about the show, and so has Regina King and Sally Jesse Rafael and Angela Basset,” Laverne continued, when she spoke to Access Hollywood prior to the launch of Season 3.

Laverne – who plays Litchfield prison’s transgender hairstylist Sophia Burset – said the adoration from fans and regular folks alike have been nothing short of sensational.

“It’s amazing. It’s awesome,” she said.
