Animal Crossing: Celebrities - Famous People Playing New Horizons

Animal Crossing: New Horizons took over the world when it launched in March 2020. Aided in no small part by the movement restrictions enforced worldwide to curtail the spread of COVID-19, players all over the planet have found themselves with plenty of time on their hands to enjoy the latest entry in Nintendo's sedate life sim.

It seems that many famous faces also took advantage of Tom Nook's Island Getaway Package, and celebrities playing Animal Crossing popped up all over social media. Some of them you might expect to be Animal Crossing fans, but others have been rather surprising.

Gary Whitta attracted some huge names to his Twitch-streamed talk show Animal Talking, for example. His guests included (and we're not making this up) musicians Shaggy and Sting. Yes, apparently Sting plays Animal Crossing. Of course, there's no reason why he shouldn't — it's a great game — but add this to everything else going on in the world and we're genuinely starting to question which bizarre timeline we're living in.

Below we've listed just some of the celebrities who have enjoyed Animal Crossing: New Horizons since launch, and you'll also find Dream Address codes if they shared them (which allow you to visit a dream version of their island). This is a non-exhaustive list, but we'll add to it when the next unlikely fan crops up. We've got money on Dua Lipa and HRH Prince Charles.
