by Aessina on November 05, 2009

There are more than 11 million WoW players around the world, many are popstarts like Mila Kunis, Jimmy Kimmel,Vin Diesel and so on, In the Azeroth world, they have to keep their pop-start identities as a secret. Home alone star Macaulay Culkin and the former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling revealed that they are big fans of World of Warcraft.
 

1.Mila Kunis and Macaulay Culkin

Mila Kunis of That 70's Show doesn't look like much of a MMO gamer. But  she once told Jimmy Kimmel, a famous American television host that she was a kickass mage! When she was quizzed about WoW KNOWLEDGE by  Complex Magazine, she answered all the WoW questions correctly and even named 8 of the 10 playable races of Wrath of the Lich King. No wonder she was accredited to be one of the "most attractive geeks" in 2008 by Wired.com . In fact, her long-term boyfriend Macaulay is more addicted to WoW, he even showed up later in her interview and talked a lot more wow stuffs. I guess that's why they can get alone so well for 7 years .

 

Dave Chappelle

Dave Chappelle is known as a great comedian--- After He suddenly abandoned on his hit show Chappelle's Show, .But he loves World of Warcraft. He once absconded to South Africa to escape the fallout
"You know what I've been playing a lot of?" the comedian reportedly asked a crowd a few years back. "World of Warcraft!" When a few cheers broke out, he responded, "I knew I had some geek brothers and sisters up in here!"
 

 

3. William Shatner

4. Matt Stone and Trey Parker

The South Park creators wrote an episode based on the game
"Make Love, Not Warcraft" is the eighth episode of the tenth season of South Park.
This episode features the heavy use of machinima for the scenes that show characters playing the game World of Warcraft The episode also won the Creative Arts Emmy Award in September, 2007.

 

5. Vin Diesel

Vin Diesel is known as his sucessful Holywood films The fast and the Furious and xXx.In an interview with Jonathan Ross, he revealed that he has a huge interest in MMORPG World of Warcraft , but he didn't want to reveal his character name and his level. Instead coyly saying he's "Deadly"

 

6. Robin Williams

Robin Williams is not only an excellent comedian but also a game enthusiast, he said that he enjoys Warcraft III very much in an interview a few years ago. It should be pointed out that her daughter's name is Zelda. Yes she is named after that famous game Zelda.
 

 

7 .Verne Troyer

Verne Troyer is best known for playing a Mini-Me in the Austin Powers series of comedy films he also plays a Gnome mage in a World of Warcraft commercial in 2007. This commercial series of helped increasing WoW's popularity a lot.

 

 

8. Mr. T

Mr.T also appears in this World of Warcraft national TV Commercial playing as a Night Elf mohawk with the phrase " I'm Mr. T and I'm a Night Elf Mohawk"  in the commercial, the director pointed out that Night Elf doesn't exist, but he said "The Mohawk class exists because Mr.T hacked the game and created the class on his game because he is a pretty handy with computers?"  Yes, we believe you Mr.T, seriously.

 

9. Elijah Wood

 

He may have portrayed one of science fiction’s most-beloved character in Lord of the Rings, but for Elijah Wood, diving into a fantasy world wasn’t for show. Frodo Baggins is also a huge gamer in real life and has said he is an avid WoW player. Might he be angling for a starring role in Sam Raimi’s upcoming film adaptation? Few actors have better credentials.
 

 

10. Chuck Norris

It’s unclear whether the former Walker, Texas Ranger star has his own avatar in the multiplayer game, but it hardly matters. “Chuck Norris Facts”—those little tidbits of information about how invincible the actor is—are often repeated between players in the game and have become a huge part of the community. Example: “"If Chuck Norris is late, time better slow down.”
 

 

11. Curt Schilling

Former Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling manages to be a jock and—dare we say—a nerd at the same time. He hasn’t been shy about his gaming habits, saying, “I am a hopelessly hooked World of Warcraft player now. I resisted the urge, trying to defend my stance as a ‘hard-core’ gamer for years…I want to have fun, and WoW is fun.” Schilling says he plays in a guild called “The Burning Hole” with friends and family members and that “the ability to unwind, be myself and not worry about things for a few hours is incredibly refreshing.”
 

 

12. Brandon Routh

His biggest role was playing the Man of Steel, but now Brandon Routh might have his sights set on another science-fiction project. Evil Dead director Sam Raimi’s recently announced Warcraft adaptation has Routh, who spoke about the film at this year’s Comic-Con, excited for some possible future sword-fighting. Should Superman hang up his tights to play King Varian Wrynn instead?
 

 

13. Jimmy Fallon

Felicia Day—most well-known for her roles on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the huge viral musical Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog—gave WoW tips to novice player Jimmy Fallon before his talk-show debut. Day says her “latest and worst” addiction was to WoW, and tried to help out Fallon, who bought the game and kept getting killed. One of her beginning tips was to think of the game as a big commitment, dig deep, and ask “Who am I?” Fallon, apparently, prefers his avatar to be called “Davarburst.” Which explains why his character was killed a lot.
