Without a doubt, the hottest game of 2020 isNintendo‘s super adorableAnimal Crossing: New Horizons. From kids to the elderly, actors to k-pop idols — Animal Crossing’s unique charm has united the world with its cuteness.
Here are seven celebrities who are just like the rest of us and can’t stop playing Animal Crossing.
Chrissy Teigen
American TV personality Chrissy Teigen still finds time to play games despite being a full-time mom to her kids. Aside from cooking and modeling, Teigen has always been a natural at gaming. Right now she has her eyes set for Animal Crossing, playing at all hours of the day.
is it animal crossing time? is it a midnight thing?
She refers to herself as a “Tom Nook loyalist,” working hard to earn bells and pay the tanuki entrepreneur in the game.
pocket animal crossing might be okay for you AC newbies but for us tom nook loyalists it is merely a hit of the crack that is actual, real, animal crossing. It lacks the heart. The soul. It’s a sandwich with no meat. A car without tires.
Teigen, together with her husband, John Legend, appeared in the global broadcastOne World: Together at Hometo help raise funds to battle theCOVID-19pandemic.
Jeon Somi
This Korean idol was last seen playing New Horizons in her reality TV show, “I am Somi.” Together with her good friend, Blackpink’s Lalisa Manoban, the two went fishing and even caught a big one worth 15,000 bells.
Somi was also featured in an Animal Crossing commercial which aired in South Korea a month ago.
Danny Trejo
Hollywood character actor, Danny Trejo, has recently started his life on the island, even offering fans the Dodo Code to his place.

Machete don’t text, but Machete is certainly down to have visitors in Animal Crossing.
Blackpink’s Lalisa Manoban andKim Jisoo
Blackpink’s adorable Lisa and Jisoo are both avid Animal Crossing players! Jisoo, in particular, plays the game every day until the break of dawn. She seems to be quite the expert, as sheimparted some adviceto her co-idol Somi and even gave her 25,000 bells to help ease off mortgage fees.
Kim Jennie, another Blackpink member, seems to be playing on the Switch too as she owns a limited-editionNew Horizons AlohaSwitch.

Maisie Williams
What do we say about paying our debts to Tom Nook? Not today.
Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams is too busy exploring her fashion options to earn bells to pay the Nook Cranny owner.

Why she might even start her own Twitch channel to stream the game to her fans!
I want people to watch me play animal crossing lol
Elijah Wood
Probably themost wholesome fan-celebrity interactionwe’ve witnessed so far is a fan letting Lord of the Rings actor, Elijah Wood, onto her island to sell him turnips.
As soon as “Elwood from Driftwood” entered her island, the actor politely hung out with Jessa and even complimented her place.
Overall, Wood seemed to enjoy his visit after playing with his fans on the island and even posing for screenshots.

Brie Larson
Brie Larson, a.k.a. Captain Marvel, has become quite a common sight in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Just like Williams, Larson loves to dress up in the game. Her character has the leisure to mix and match from tops, bottoms, dresses, shoes to accessories, hats, and bags with at least 4636 different pieces to choose from.
I change my clothes more frequently in Animal Crossing than in real life.
She earned a paid partnership with Nintendo and promoted the game during its global release last March 20, complete with the New Horizons Nintendo Switch on her hand while sporting Tom Nook’s top.
