We’re Human Too – Celebs Who Love A Game Or Two

Behind the glitz, the makeup, the gym, the diets and the glamour of the big screen, celebrities let loose by browsing social media, posting selfies and playing online games with friends, family, and fans. At the end of the day, they are just like us – they’re human. They’re players. Whether it be online, in person or on the field, celebrities alike are fans of the world of gaming.

Bill Murray is likely to be the most legendary golfer to play in many Pro-ams and tours around the USA and the world. He has played rounds with Tiger Woods, and recently Jordan Speith.

It became public knowledge in 2006 when his second wife, Denise Richards, said in divorce papers filed in court that he was spending about $200,000 a week on gambling.
