10 Celebrities You Didn't Realise Are Massive Gamers

3. James Buckley

Yet another star who's turned to YouTube after breaking out in the world of acting, James Buckley - perhaps best known as Jay from The Inbetweeners - launched a gaming channel a few years ago and has committed to delivering at least two videos a week, as well as regularly streaming on Twitch.

Aptly titled "Completed It, Mate" (after one of his character's most famous boasts), Buckley covers a wide variety of different titles, including a whole bunch that he readily admits he loves, but is pretty terrible at. From Call of Duty to Fifa, Fortnite to Spider-Man, the actor pretty much covers every new release (alongside some old classics for good measure), even occasionally bringing in special guests to shake things up.

What's perhaps most fascinating about Buckley's progression since launching the channel is just how much effort he's put into transforming it into a genuinely solid product. Despite how it may appear, making a YouTube channel isn't easy, and the fact he's followed his passion through the years and never let it fall by the wayside, even as he continues to regularly act, proves how much of a fan he actually is.
