These Celebrity Gamers Prove Gaming Isn't Just For Kids

This is the age of the gamer. No more is gaming just the domain of spotty schoolkids hunched over their consoles and PCs. These days, gamers come in all ages, shapes and sizes—even celebrity gamers. The social gaming and online casino markets have grown exponentially to meet the new market.

If you are a fan of spinning the roulette wheel or tending your virtual farm, you are in some illustrious company. You never know whose virtual shoulder you might rub up against while fighting over those casino bonuses and virtual carrots. Here are some world famous celebrities who just love their video games.

Justin Bieber

Celebrities don’t come much bigger than The Bieb. He’s also one of the most interviewed guys on the planet, and he’s often referred to his love of all things gaming, citing Call of Duty: Black Ops, Halo and Mario Kart among his favorites.

Neil Robertson

The Aussie snooker player is one of the most famous names in the sport, and when he won the World Championship in 2010 at the age of 28, he was officially ranked the best in the world. Seven years later, he should still be in his prime, but he recently dropped out of the elite top 16 in the world. The reason? An addiction to League of Legends and World of Warcraft that took over his life and almost cost him his career. Robertson has bravely spoken out about his problems, and everyone in the sport hopes he has succeeded in putting them behind him.

Ronda Rousey

If you have ever been curious as to the link between the gentlemanly game of snooker and women’s wrestling, wonder no more. Like Neil Robertson, Rowdy Ronda Rousey is an avid gamer. Her obsession, however, is Pokemon, and the baddest woman on the planet claims she has owned every single version of the game. It is a claim that nobody is in any hurry to argue with!

Zac Efron

The High School Musical star is another gamer who has become a little obsessed, and some even claim that his addiction to his X-box 360 is what cost him his relationship with co-star Vanessa Hudgens. Cynics countered that the more likely cause was an entirely different kind of addiction that he was battling at the time.

Megan Fox

The megastar from Oak Bridge Tennessee is another who has often talked in interviews about her love of gaming, although since the birth of her third child last year, she has probably had less time for Halo. She once spoke about a fellow gamer making fun of her online for being a girl – just be careful who you tease, you never know who is on the other end of the keyboard!

Mila Kunis

Mila is another World of Warcraft and Call of Duty enthusiast, who has often mentioned the games in interviews. However, the most recent word on the street is that she has stopped playing for the time being, so there is not much chance of bumping into her online.
