10 Celebrities You Didn't Realise Are Massive Gamers

6. Jack Black

Jack Black has always been known for being a bit of a dork, revelling in the kind of movie and TV roles that play this up, and he's no stranger to video games either. In fact, he starred in the massively underrated Brutal Legend game from 2009, which blended the world of gaming with Black's other major passion: music.

However, though he's always stated in interviews that he's a fan of the medium, he took that one step further a little while ago when he launched his own dedicated gaming channel on YouTube, JablinskiGames. Despite only going live in late December 2018, Black has racked up over 4 million subscribers on the service, collaborating with everyone from PewDiePie to fellow musician Jack White.

To be honest, the amount of content he puts out, considering it isn't his full-time job, is pretty staggering. From E3 vlogs to Let's Plays, Black clearly loves not only the games themselves, but the culture surrounding it. At the very least, it's good to know he'd have something to fall back on if his hundred other ventures dried up.
