When we talk about the most iconic MMORPGs of the past decades, the first one that comes to mind is World of Warcraft. It's no wonder that WoW has released numerous expansions, from updated versions of older games to fan-favorite versions. All of these allow players to relive the golden age when the game peaked with a player base of over 12 million. Among such a huge fanbase, there are some celebrities. Some of them have stopped playing, but some continue to save Azeroth in their free time, hidden from the public. After all, celebrities are human too, and they love the same things we do.
Some people use WoW carry services because they don’t have much time for grinding and dungeon farming. If you are one of them, follow their example. If not, keep reading to know about 5 celebrities who played World of Warcraft, one of the best games of the modern era.
#1 — Angela Sarafyan
This beautiful American actress is best known for her role as Clementine Pennyfeather in the TV series, “Westworld.” She has also starred in “The Twilight Saga,” winning the hearts of millions of people around the world. But who could imagine that Clementine is also interested in “magical places” outside of work and loves to play WoW in her spare time? The actress once stated that she plays the game with her friends because it's “cozy.” Clementine doesn't just stick to acting, she is also very interested in the further development of her favorite game, which is why she attends BlizzCon.
#2 — Jamie Lee Curtis
Jamie Lee Curtis is 65 years old, but she still actively participates in various World of Warcraft events. With this in mind, it is no wonder that she is considered by the WoW community as one of the most famous members who popularized the game and made it beloved by a wide audience. Curtis attended the Warcraft movie premiere in 2016 dressed as an Orc. She is no stranger to conventions, having attended BlizzCon in 2015 unnoticed as a Forsaken. She later shared a photo of herself at BlizzCon 2015 on social media, captioning it, “Attended BlizzCon 2015 incognito. @Warcraft was awesome! What an amazing World of Warcraft. #BlizzCon 2015.”
#3 — Mila Kunis
Mila Kunis is another well-known actress in the World of Warcraft community. She began her gaming career while dating Macaulay Culkin. Kunis got hooked on the game, especially the PvE content, and played raids so often that it felt like an addiction. Luckily, she was able to bounce back in time. Now, she and her husband Ashton Kutcher are raising two beautiful children, 10-year-old daughter Wyatt Isabelle and 8-year-old son Dimitri. The actress still loves to play games every now and then.
#4 — Vin Diesel
Vin Diesel's love of gaming and status as a Hollywood alpha geek is well known, as evidenced by his tattoo of “Melkor,” one of his favorite Dungeons & Dragons characters. So it's no wonder that when he came across a video of himself playing World of Warcraft, he wanted to share it with the world. The evening after Fast & Furious XXX, he posted a video of himself playing World of Warcraft with friends on his Facebook page, with the caption:
“I found a clip from 4 years ago and wanted to share it…lol…I also have fond memories in the gaming world.
PS: No guessing who was playing these two toons…“
#5 — Henry Cavill
Eight years have passed since the release of the Warcraft movie, but there are still some rumors surrounding the film. This is not surprising, considering that millions of avid fans of the game are eagerly waiting for a sequel. A fake poster for the film Wrath of the Lich King, featuring Henry Cavill as Arthas Menethil, particularly generated excitement. Since then, the response has been overwhelmingly positive, even among developers at Blizzard.
The company's co-founder Chris Metzen, senior writer Christy Golden, and assistant narrative designer Anne Stickney all voiced their support for Cavill's role, and the actor himself responded to the photo, tagging Blizzard and suggesting people “whisper to him in-game” to discuss it further.
Fans of the game also believe that a story centered on Arthas, one of Warcraft's most famous antagonists, would be more successful if it focused on individual characters, rather than trying to summarise the entire nature of the Horde and Alliance conflict in a two-hour time frame. It remains unclear when the film's sequel will be produced, but one thing is clear: when asked if he would choose between the Horde and the Alliance, Henry Cavill's answer was clear: the Alliance.
Conclusion
As you can see, World of Warcraft has a huge fanbase that is full of celebrities. The game attracts both casual players and celebrities, which once again speaks volumes about its immersive worlds, compelling gameplay, and lasting cultural impact.
