16 Celebs Who Are As Obsessed With Pokemon Go As You Are
A lot of good has come from Pokemon Go since it took over the world a couple of weeks ago: it’s had surprising positive effects on users’ mental and physical health, it’s bringing lovebirds together and is spawning more IRL fun in the form of delicious drinking games. (Of course there were also the initial security flaws and people finding dead bodies and walking off of cliffs while hunting Pokemon and whatnot BUT we’re not talking about those today, so, moving on!) But perhaps the greatest part of Pokemon Go is that is has become a great equalizer — that’s right, even Hollywood’s elite can’t help but scan the streets for Pidgies and Krabbies. Check out some of the stars who share your obsession.
1. Justin Bieber: The Biebs was able to remain anonymous for once in his young life when he got swept up in a crowd of Pokemon players in NYC. “This is amazing,” Bieber’s manager Scooter Braun wrote. “[Justin] in NYC looking for Pokemon and no one looks at who is next to them,” complete with a string of cry-laugh emojis. Bieber’s security likely never had it so easy.
