It’s official, Brie Larson has joined YouTube, and she’s been spending a lot of time talking about one of her biggest passions in life: gaming. Specifically, Larson has been chatting about her love of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, while also sharing stories of her time with other Nintendo masterpieces, like Super Mario Galaxy.
Larson’s channel, named simply Brie Larson, follows the typical vlog formats the platform is arguably best known for, though PewDiePie might want to watch his back if the gaming talk continues (which it should. Please. More of this).
In her first video, Larson talks a bit about how she uses YouTube as a consumer, while getting advice from fellow YT-ers.
Chatting to the camera, Larson got candid over a Super Mario Galaxy boss battle which caused something of a dispute in her household at the time. Talking about how she once kicked her boyfriend out of the house over the game, she said:”He said that I was taking it too seriously! I threw him out of my house.”
Personally I’m more than ready to see the Nintendo-loving actor spill more details on her life and gaming habits.
Earlier this year, Larson partnered with Nintendo to help promote Animal Crossing: New Horizons, but her love for the series goes much, much deeper than that. Speaking with People magazine, Larson explained just how much the Animal Crossing games have impacted her life.
At the time, she said: “The original game, the first time I played it was on Nintendo’s GameCube and it was just so important to me and my sister.”
Considering the original AC launched way back in 2002, that makes Larson a pretty huge fan indeed. But will her love for Isabelle, Blathers and the Nook family ever cross into her acting career?
When asked if she’d be interested in a movie version of Animal Crossing, the star was definitely up for a role.
“Of course. I support Animal Crossing all the way, through and through. I think it’s good for our hearts,” Larson said in response.
While that might be a pipe dream for now, at least we can keep up with Larson on YouTube!
