Since the world loves hearing that celebrities eat, sleep, and breathe like everyone else,
it's time to find out which ones like to party with a controller in their hand.
"How do I do that?"
"Well it's showing you.
It's showing you."
"I will do it."
"Oh you did it, because I helped you."
Whether they're playing Super Mario Bros., World of Warcraft, Call of Duty, or some other
pixelated adventure, these celebrities aren't afraid to flaunt their nerdy habits.
Brie Larson
When Oscar-winning actress Brie Larson tweeted "I love you @NintendoAmerica," upon the release
of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, casual Larson fans were probably surprised
by this bit of geeking out.
But, if you've been following her since her teen idol years, you know she's been a hardcore
Nintendo fan since way back.
The Gamecube fangirl has said her favorite game was Paper Mario, but these days, she's
obviously all about Zelda.
However, Larson doesn't limit her gaming diet strictly to Nintendo: in an August of 2016
tweet, she called the world of the serene underwater exploration game Abzu — which
isn't available on any Nintendo console — her "happy place."
Michelle Rodriguez
The actress best known for her badass role in The Fast and the Furious movies, Michelle
Rodriguez, loves fighting games and first-person shooters.
She’s all about the rush of competition and is known to play games from the Street
Fighter, Halo, and Call of Duty franchises.
Rodriguez became a recognized name in the video game community back in 2002, when she
starred in the first Resident Evil movie.
On top of playing the games, she's also done a voiceover work for games like True Crime:
Streets of LA, and for games in the Halo, Battlefield and Call of Duty series.
It's probably pretty weird to come across your own voice when playing a video game...right?
Robin Williams
The late, great Robin Williams will always be known for his upbeat style of comedy and
the iconic roles he immortalized over the course of his career.
"Please, please come closer!
Too close, a little too close — there!"
While he's unquestionably a Hollywood legend, a lot of his fans may not know he was also
a dedicated gamer, who had a particular love for The Legend of Zelda.
Williams loved the video games so much, he even named his daughter Zelda.
The actor’s fondness for gaming extended well beyond the Nintendo classics, as he was
also known for regularly playing the likes of World of Warcraft, Call of Duty, and Battlefield.
If you've ever regularly played any of those, there’s a chance you were playing with The
Genie and had no idea...
"That's a good move."
Mila Kunis
Some gamers may remember Mila Kunis for starring alongside Mark Wahlberg in the Hollywood depiction
of Max Payne.
Of course, if you do, that means you were unfortunate enough to actually, y'know, watch
it.
"Max, you have my help with anything else, but not to go in there."
But Kunis's history of gaming goes back much further than you'd expect.
Around the time she appeared in Black Swan, Kunis admitted to Jimmy Kimmel that she was
part of a serious Guild in World of Warcraft.
"Well you gotta be in a guild, because you gotta do raids that you know require 30-40
people, but now with the expansion pack, they're gonna have raids that only require like 10
people, so it'll make things a lot easier."
Ronda Rousey
Ronda Rousey might still be icing her jaw thanks to Amanda Nunes, but this rookie member
of The Expendables was a special kind of ultimate fighter long before she stepped into the Octagon.
For as long as she's been learning martial arts, Rousey's also been mastering the sweet
science that is button-mashing.
"My first Pokemon was Charmander and Charizard was the first I got to level 100."
It turns out Rousey has some serious love for The Legend of Zelda, Jak and Daxter, and
the Mortal Kombat series.
Henry Cavill
The British actor might be the current symbol of truth, justice, and the American way, but
Henry Cavill was saving the world long before he had an "S" on his chest.
Cavill admitted that he's been a dedicated World of Warcraft player for years now.
In fact, he's so into World of Warcraft, he almost missed the phone call from Zack Snyder
offering him the role of Superman — because he was too busy raiding.
Luckily for his career, Cavill answered the call.
Cara Delevingne
Perhaps best known for role as Enchantress in Suicide Squad, British supermodel and actress
Cara Delevingne is a huge fan of the Call of Duty games.
Now, Cara did star in a commercial for 2015's Call of Duty: Black Ops III...
"What, ya’ll don’t know about Cara?"
...but she claims she was a fan of the Activision game long before that.
"I like to play my Xbox.
I play Call of Duty and I do have a headpiece, I'm not gonna lie."
Megan Fox
Actress Megan Fox has been a gamer her entire life, ever since she started playing Aladdin
on the Super Nintendo.
In the modern era, the Transformers star is a big fan of all things Mortal Kombat, especially
2008's Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe.
"I am a god!"
"Okay."
Fox was also a big fan of the exercise opportunities offered up by the original Wii console in
its heyday, singling out the party game Rayman Raving Rabbids as a title she would play until
she was out of breath.
"You're just shooting rocks.
You're just shooting rocks.
That's not… that's not people."
