Believe it or not, most celebrities love video games. Since gaming is gradually becoming an everyday habit, it’s no surprise that stars play too. But some celebrities, especially actors, are interested in video games. Some are professional gamers, others play roles in games themselves, and others have even opened gaming studios. Stay tuned with RivalArium, to introduce actors whose first choice in their free time is to experience video games.
Henry Cavill
Henry Cavill, the famous Superman on the silver screen, loves video games and cannot stop playing World of Warcraft. Cavill has spoken publicly about this many times and confirmed that he had been a gamer since childhood. For example, some time ago, the release of his personal computer build video attracted the attention of gamers. Playing has even caused trouble for Cavill. When Zack Snyder, the director of the Superman films, contacted him to offer him the role, Cavill was busy experiencing World of Warcraft and did not answer the phone!
In addition, he played the role of Geralt in the Witcher series. Although the Witcher series is an adaptation of the books of this series, not the game itself, most users know this popular series with the Witcher game series of CD Projekt.
Samuel L. Jackson
Samuel L. Jackson is one of the most famous Hollywood actors whose role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Nick Fury increased his popularity even more. On the other hand, Jackson has a long history in fantasy worlds and even played a role in the soundtrack of GTA: San Andreas.
His presence in video games increased after accepting the role of Nick Fury. Voicing in Lego Star Wars, Iron Man 2, and even Afro Samurai are some of his influential roles in the gaming industry. But Jackson is unstoppable; he loves video games and has followed the industry since Pong and Atari.
We can mention Call of Duty and Assassin’s Creed series among his popular games. He explains that if a game provides him with a firearm, he will experience that game for hours.
The symbol of James Bond in the world of games and movies: Daniel Craig
Daniel Craig, the last James Bond of the movie world, is a gameaholic. Playing the legendary British spy 007 has made Daniel Craig one of the most recognizable icons of popular culture.
Interestingly, Daniel Craig’s face and voice have already been used in some James Bond games. So not only does Craig experience the games, he plays a part in making them. He says we can count Halo and Guitar Hero series among Craig’s favorite games. Daniel Craig prefers to shoot aliens instead of humans in titles like GTA, which is why the Halo series is a priority for him.
Robin Williams
Many of us know that Robin Williams deeply loved video games. Before his death, Williams was considered one of the greatest comedians, and after his death, the title of the greatest of the greatest is truly fitting. This big personality of the Hollywood world loved The Legend of Zelda series to the point where he named his daughter Zelda. (Zelda is the name of the princess of the world of The Legend of Zelda), and knowing this, we do not need to insist much on his interest in the video game industry.
Williams didn’t let his busy life get in the way of experiencing the games. In addition to Legend of Zelda, he devoted hours of his free time to experiencing World of Warcraft, Half-Life, Call of Duty, and Battlefield. Blizzard later added an NPC named Robin to World of Warcraft as a tribute to him. If you didn’t know this before, now you understand why the character of Robin in this game was so similar to the late Robin Williams.
A game maker actor: Vin Diesel
While gaming is now a popular, well-known, and healthy entertainment for all ages, some still hold onto their traditional beliefs. Many people feel that video games are for recluses. Thanks to the interest of someone like Hollywood action star Vin Diesel, this belief is being questioned more than ever.
The Fast and Furious actor takes every opportunity to talk about his passion. In countless interviews, Diesel has spoken of the pleasurable experience of role-playing games like Dungeons and Dragons.
Moreover, Vin Diesel is also involved in making video games. After realizing that only some good games were adapted from motion pictures, he took it upon himself to establish Tigon Studios.
