Rick Astley likes Anonymous!

Over the last year or so, Astley has watched with puzzled amazement as “Never Gonna Give You Up” has been mocked, celebrated, remixed and reprised, its original music video viewed millions of times on YouTube, all by a generation that could barely swallow its Gerber carrots when the song first topped the pop charts.

"I think it’s just one of those odd things where something gets picked up and people run with it," Astley said. "But that’s what brilliant about the Internet."


He also thinks rickrolling Scientology is "hilarious".

I know. It's like I went from "old" to "hip" in one huge meme.

I feel slightly less guilty about having that entire album. On vinyl.

I had been looking around to see if he'd ever commented on it, so this is win!

That one /v/irgin who started the whole thing must be horribly, horribly proud of himself.

I'm not the only one who checked the comments before clicking the link to see if it was a Rickroll, was I?

Nope! I checked too. Good article though, Astley is looking pretty good for 42 yrs old.

Definitely not. Even though I do like the song, I've got a very nervous kitten and I didn't want to wind up scratched to death because she was startled by the sudden noise :P

That is awesome. Someone made up an interview a while back that said he was pissed, but it didn't sound right.

He gets it! He gets rickrolling exactly!

I'm amazed that the flash player, when clicked, wasn't itself a Rickroll. 8B
