Zuckerberg: 'The Social Network' Really Did Hurt My Feelings

Turns Out 'The Social Network' DID Hurt Zuck's Feelings

Facebook's CEO and founder Mark Zuckerberg has admitted in a rare Q&A that he found the film 'The Social Network' 'hurtful' after 'they just kind of made up a bunch of stuff'.

The man behind one of the world's largest social networks was responding to questions from members of the public but took the time to give a full account of his thoughts on the film which supposedly showed the creation of Facebook.

"It was a very interesting experience to watch a movie that was supposedly about my life. The reality is that writing code and building a product is not a glamorous enough thing to make a movie about. A lot of the stuff they probably had to embellish and make up. If they were really making a movie, it would've just been me at a computer coding for two hours straight."

As well as answering serious questions the CEO also took the time to debunk some of the myths surrounding Facebook and himself such as: 'does he only have one shirt?'

The answer is, unsurprisingly, no, he has more than one shirt, but the reason it's the same might surprise you.

“I’m in this really lucky position where I get to wake up every day and help serve more than 1 billion people, and I feel like I’m not doing my job if I spend any of my energy on things [like deciding what to wear], even though it kind of sounds silly that that’s my reason for wearing a gray t-shirt every day, it also is true.”

What you might not have expected either is that Zuckerberg doesn't wan't Facebook to be 'cool', instead he wants it to become something as regular as turning on a light -- classing the social network as a product that “people can rely on.”
