As it turns out, No matter who you are, there is always a gamer to be found at all levels of society.
Aside from Hollywood giving us some of the best films in cinema history, many TV stations giving us some of the best TV shows ever, and even record labels giving us some great music, many of the actors, actresses and musicians you see and hear are also huge gamers during their off time, away from the silver screens and recording studio, with some making their own shows via streaming there gameplay live to movie and gaming fans alike.
Here are 5 celebrities you never knew were big gamers.
5 – Wil Wheaton.
From his many appearances on the Enterprise in Star Trek the Next Generation to becoming a name on Sheldon's list of enemies on the Big Bang Theory, Wil is a fan favorite among Trek and BBT fans.
But when he is not in front of the camera or doing some voice acting for the Teen Titans, he has admitted he loves story based games such as Mass Effect and God of War, but he also loves card based games with regular streams of him playing both the video and physical types of game play.

4 – Henry Cavill.
Look its a Bird, Its a Plane, no, its some dude sat in front of a kick ass gaming rig playing some World of Warcraft.
The name may not mean much to some people but most people do know him as DC's new Man of Steel, in films with the same name, Batman V Superman, Justice League and Mission impossible. But that may not have been as he missed a call from Zack Snider to attend an audition for Man of Steel, because he was too busy playing World of Warcraft. Its a wonder he didn't make an apperance in the Warcraft film in 2016.

3 – Jack Black.
Jack Black has featured in various films spanning 3 decades, has released a number of music albums and even had his own video game with the main character modelled after him and voiced by him.
It may be hard to see that he is such a huge gamer giving the type of movies he has starred in, but not many people know about his game, Brutal Legend from 2009, in which a crew member for a band is sent to anther dimension based on metal band cover art and has to fight daemons to escape. He has also said he has a fondness for older classic games as well as some modern ones he likes to play during his down time.

2 – Terry Crews.
The front man for Old Spice mens aftershave, the man who has starred alongside many A list celebrities in more than a few films and has more muscles than Mr universe, Terry has had a very busy life.
But after he sat with his son while he played an online game, Terry wanted to share that experience with him and so started his gaming career. He has attempted to build his own PC in the past, but he has had one professionally built by ''Jayz2cents'' (YouTuber) so he can game and stream to his fans on a daily basis playing Battlefield, Overwatch and rocket league.

1 – Vin Diesel.
Vin is a household name thanks to films such as the fast and the furious, pitch black and ''I am Groot'', but has since become a member of the PC Master Race with his own Game development studio.
Apart from a love of Dungeons and Dragons, he also like to play world of warcraft and call of duty.
Pitch Black was the film that brought Vin to stardom and the film that 2 of his games are based on with Vin reprising his role as Riddik as the main protagonist in digital form. Both Riddik games where developed by Tygon Studios, which was founded by Vin Diesel after the success of the first Pitch Black movie. The idea of the studio was to develop ''good'' games based on movies, as previous games that are based on movies have always been hit and miss. Mostly miss. And Escape from Butcher Bay and Assault on Dark Athena were the results and many fans of the Riddik franchise think the games were better than the 2nd movie. I tend to agree.

Even though you may be famous, when it comes to gaming, we are all equals, yeah you may have more money than sense, but there is nothing stopping me from head shooting you 5 times in a row, if you piss me off.
