The Black Swan actress is usually busy winning the hearts of her fans with her beauty and being a sitcom sweetheart. However, when she is not making a name for herself, she is busy playing games like World of Warcraft and Call of Duty.

Though it might sound surprising to some, Kunis’ addiction to WoW had increased to the point where she stopped answering calls from her manager, forcing them to log in to the game to talk to her.

After having a bite of the spicy chicken wing, Sean Evans, the host of the interview, popped the question about her unhealthy addiction, saying, “On the topic of your World of Warcraft obsession, at what point did you realize that you were in too deep and needed to quit cold turkey?”

Kunis answered, “When my agent would sign on to talk to me.” While fighting the heat of the hot sauce, Evans asked the Ted actress on what it meant to be a “frost mage.”

Though struggling, she described the class and how she used to have pigtails with pink hair, and her in-game name was “Captain Janeway.” She said,

Okay, so mate, it is class and frost mage; you just throw ice instead of fire because fire mages fireballs and ice mages freezes you. That’s how I was both, and I had pigtails and pink hair. Yeah, my name was also Captain Janeway. You know where that’s from, yeah?

The hot wing gave a tough time to Kunis, but she will be proud to know that she is not the only celebrity who is addicted to playing World of Warcraft. Henry Cavill also opened up about his experience and how he was so invested in playing the game that he nearly missed out on one of his most iconic roles.

Zack Snyder Called Henry Cavill At the Wrong Time

Henry Cavill, the King of Nerds, has often described his love for video games publicly and how he prefers to stay home and play games rather than go outside and socialize. The Enola Holmes actor was introduced to gaming at a very young age by his father. Hence, playing games has been a part of him.

During an exclusive interview with GQ, Henry Cavill gets candid about how he almost lost out on the role of Superman in Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel because he was busy in an intense WOW session. Cavill recalled the moment, saying,

I was in an important part of a particular dungeon that I was going through – it’s cool now that I’m Superman – and I looked across at the last moment and saw Zack Snyder’s name on the phone. 

Later, when he relayed the moment to the 300 director, he cracked up, and the actor did an impression of him saying,

Haha, that’s awesome! So, he was like, ‘Who the f*** is this bothering me? I’m playing World Of Warcraft!’ That’s great. Oh, he’s a nerd. That’s why we get on so well.

Nevertheless, it would be intriguing to see if Cavill and Kunis team up and play a game together, as it would be entertaining and fans would get to see an intense in-game rivalry between the two.
