Simu Liu, a Chinese-Canadian actor who has made a name for himself in Hollywood, has recently become a fan of Valorant. Despite being relatively new to the gaming scene, Valorant has already become a sensation within the video game industry. Simu Liu is best known for his title role in the 2021 MCU film, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, and has also made appearances in popular television shows such as Fresh Off the Boat. Soon, he will be starring in the highly-anticipated Barbie movie as one of the versions of Ken.
Liu, during the premiere, shared his favorite Valorant character to play as. Melissah Yang, the Entertainment Director at Refinery29, posted a 44-second clip on Twitter, where Liu explains his enjoyment of playing Valorant with friends. While Sage and Brim are enjoyable for him, his true main character is Breach, who is one of the original 10 characters in the game. Liu mentions that he is still developing his skills with Breach, but he greatly enjoys the character's direct and power-oriented playstyle. He agrees with the interviewer, a fellow Valorant fan, that Breach may be a bit overpowered.
Simu Liu is one of several celebrities known for being avid video game players in their free time. He has expressed his love for Diablo 4 in the past and was vocal about Microsoft saving Starcraft in early 2022. Liu has also shared clips of his Valorant gameplay on his personal Twitter account when he's not busy with filming.
Hollywood's involvement in the gaming industry has become increasingly prominent in recent years. Celebrities have shown their enthusiasm for gaming through endorsements, appearances in promotional material, and even involvement in the games themselves, taking up roles as character skins, voice actors, or both. The reasons behind this growing connection remain unknown, but for individuals like Simu Liu, it will be exciting to witness more of his gaming adventures in the future. Players can exclusively enjoy Valorant on PC.
