Someone pinch us; we must be dreaming. That\u2019s one way to describe how we feel as we look back on our best year of celebrity<\/a> interviews ever. Matthew McConaughey? Henry Cavill? Max Verstappen? Robert Irwin? Nick freaking Cave?! The list goes on and on and on. Making each interview all the more special is the fact that it was exclusive to our publication, whether through our flagship website or our brand-new Digital Editions. We do it all for you, dear readers. Okay, okay, we do it for us, too. Here are Man of Many\u2019s 20 best celebrity interviews<\/a> of 2025.<\/p>\n

The son of Steve Irwin (may he rest in peace) and a celebrity in his own right, Robert Irwin has a ton of incredible experiences under his belt. No stranger to wild animals or public attention, he\u2019s continuing down a path that straddles both these worlds at once. We sat down with the 21-year-old Queenslander for an extensive interview, which covers everything from his high-profile hosting gigs to his ongoing conservation efforts and more. <\/p>\n

Publish date<\/strong>: 2025-02-25<\/p>\n

Call it one of the lesser Marvel outings if you will, but Captain America: Brave New World still delivers plenty of spectacle and substance. It also conjures a sense of humanity that\u2019s often hard to come by in the larger-than-life worlds of superheroes. Man of Many writer Dean Blake explores these humane themes before firing off a few questions to one of the movie\u2019s executive producers, Nate Moore.<\/p>\n
