Without a doubt, the game of bingo has proven its merit (and its popularity) time and time again. Nowadays, you can play bingo in a traditional bingo hall or enjoy a game of bingo online, and it’s really up to you when it comes to the version of bingo you’d like to play with. But for those who just love playing bingo, it may come as a pleasant surprise that certain celebrities have the same love for the game as you do. So the big question is: who’s who in the bingo world? Here are some celebrities you love who also love to play bingo.
The Gladiator
Aussie actor Russell Crowe is most famous for playing that well-loved Gladiator, but he’s also taken on and been famous for some other substantial roles as well (most notably for the award-winning film, A Beautiful Mind). But this actor is also famous for his love for bingo. In fact, a long time ago, Mr. Crowe was a bingo caller – but he lost his job because, according to some, he resorted to foul language when calling out the numbers. Today, though, Mr. Crowe enjoys a game or two of bingo anytime he has time to spare, and he seems to prefer the online 90-ball bingo games as well.
Let’s have fun with “Friends!”
This “Friends” star who played the adorable yet quirky Monica Geller is also known for loving the game of bingo. She’s definitely a huge bingo fan, especially considering the fact that she regularly plays with other celebrities like Paris Hilton and Rikki Lake and also takes part in bingo tournaments online. She’s also a big contributor to various charity events held by different bingo websites.
How bingo changed this beautiful “The Mask of Zorro” star’s life
Yet another bingo lover is the beautiful and highly-respected actress of “The Mask of Zorro” fame, Catherine Zeta-Jones. Ms. Zeta-Jones has a special story about how bingo changed her life, too – apparently, her parents were able to win an astonishing $100,000 jackpot whilst playing bingo in the 80s, and this substantial win changed their family’s life. Today, Ms. Zeta-Jones loves commemorating that special event with annual Christmas bingo games with her family, where they reportedly prefer playing the 75-ball version.
The world of sports and bingo combined
It’s not only famous actors and actresses who love playing bingo, of course – the world of sports (specifically that of football) has its own fans as well. One famous bingo fan is Cristiano Ronaldo, who actually got to know more of the game when he viewed a DVD about bingo in order to learn English. Due to this ‘untoward’ yet pleasant exposure, Mr. Ronaldo never fails to play a game of online bingo whenever he can.
