10 Celebrities You Didn't Realise Are Massive Gamers

2. Frank Ocean

Frank Ocean notoriously likes to keep his private life away from the press, so when a rare interview with him does pop up, it usually remains entirely focused on his musical output. That said, even a quick glance at said musical output makes Frank's love of gaming apparent, as it's infused into pretty much every album and EP he's released so far.

In fact, before you even hear Frank's voice on his debut album, Channel Orange, listeners are treated to the iconic PS1 startup sound. Nostalgic sounds are used heavily throughout his work, but this isn't just some random choice, as other references have found their way into his music, be it in lyrics or song titles. Admittedly, this did lessen on Endless and Blonde, but the inspiration is felt across his earlier work nonetheless.

Outside of the music, Frank Ocean's favourite games were a mainstay on his Tumblr, with the artist constantly reblogging photos from Street Fighter and other classic titles. Eventually, he made the move into video games proper, showing up as the host and curator of one of the radio stations in Grand Theft Auto V.
