There are less than you would think. If we're talking "hardcore" gamers your average sports star is much more likely to be one then a famous actor/actress.
every time some celebrity claims they play games, i just roll my eyes. the second they try to answer a question even remotely related to game its clear they have no idea what they are talking about
It's almost like they don't work or something. Like they have all this free time like the rest of us to just sit home and play games like all day. I guess knowing every detail of a game means your a certified "gamer" right?

Will Arnett talked about being a big CoD fan on Conan back in the MW2 days.
its just PR. for the most part celebrities are always going to try to answer any question in a way that can help them relate more to fans. so saying they play videogames is going to give them relation to a huge part of their male fanbase.
I even remember him once bigging up Lirik on Twitter one time hahaFred Durst loves CoD and streams it 12 year old me is hype.
Rio Ferdinand seems to get involved in all the Halo launches
Yep: http://youtu.be/xIssOeVcg5I?t=2m35sNo clue if he's still into it, but on some talk show Joseph Gordon Levitt talked about how much he loved Street Fighter 2 when he was a kid, and how he bought a cabinet.
I'm not sure "involved" is the right word here..
anyone who even spends a few hours a week playing video games will have some idea what they are talking about. it typically goes something like this:
"so whats your favorite game?"
*long pause* "uhhhh well" *long pause* "im kind of busy as you can imagine but i like quite a few games"

Off the top of my head Vin Diesel, Nathan Fillion, Zachary Levi are pretty legit. Then you have your second tier which is celebrities who will namedrop Halo or Call of Duty exclusively.
Not this "true gamer" bs mentality. *eye roll *
Regardless of what, if they have played a game, that doesn't mean they need to know everything about it. I've been playing games for years and can't even recall moments in almost 90% of them unless they are my favorites. It's not unrealistic to vaguely remember details of a game especially when you have far much more things to do in your life than sitting and playing games.
I know that Jenna Coleman said in an interview recently that she used to be a gamer when she was a kid, and specifically loved the Sonic series.
Chandler Riggs( Carl from Walking Dead) Used to have a gaming channel on youtube. he'd play like Minecraft and other stuff. I think his channel is gone now.
Megan Fox, I remember she said she was a big Halo: Reach fan. Bonus:

im sure you can at least name a game thats among your favorites when asked.
He's also a huge Tekken fan and was featured in the game. Apparently he is very good at it as well.
Henry Cavill is a self-proclaimed PC gamer, not sure what games he plays nex to WoW though.
I wouldn't call him a favorite anything but wasn't The Game one of the top Madden players in the world at one point?
Likewise KimDotCom (Owner of Megaupload and Mega) was the top COD player in the world.
Eliza wants a word with you.every time some celebrity claims they play games, i just roll my eyes. the second they try to answer a question even remotely related to game its clear they have no idea what they are talking about
