Mia Blooming – Mia Rose

Dozens of celebrities played in World of Warcraft at different times: from Askold Zapashny to Barack Obama. Blizzard rewarded the most inveterate star fans with registered NPCs. For example, in the Cataclysm expansion in Azeroth, the robber Mia the Rose appeared. Due to Russian localization, many may have missed a reference to the popular porn star Mia Rose.

You can meet her in the Twilight Highlands while completing the “Distraction Maneuver” quest. Unfortunately, getting to know Mia closely will not work, since the hero needs to neutralize the robber.

Gordon Tramsey – Gordon Ramsay

World of Warcraft is famous for its abundance of unusual culinary recipes: from the “monstrous omelet” to the “spicy delicacies from the mammoth.” A good kitchen always needs a first-class chef, and even world-famous chefs can be found among culinary teachers in the expanses of Azeroth. One of them is Gordon Tramsey, who is a reference to the popular British chef Gordon Ramsay. He is known for his series of restaurants, as well as the TV show “Infernal Cuisine”, in which Ramsay’s impulsiveness led to the appearance of a series of memes.

Robbie Fly – Bobby Fly

Another eminent chef can be found in Stormwind. His name is Robbie Flea. The English-speaking audience quickly recognized in him Bobby Flea – a famous American restaurateur and a regular participant in television culinary programs. Unlike Gordon Tramsey, Robbie Fley can also teach the player how to cook a couple of dozens of interesting dishes – for example, “Kaldorei spider kebab” or “charcoal bear kebab”. Both chefs were added to World of Warcraft in the Cataclysm expansion pack.

Lady La La – Lady Gaga

Another stellar warlike NPC that appeared on WoW with the Cataclysm expansion is Lady La La. This is a rare naga that lives in Kelp’tar Forest. With the popular singer Lady Gaga, she is related not only by a similar name, but also by an extravagant style. Not often in Azeroth, one can find the naga in luminous glasses, hung with bright accessories. The developers presented Lady La-La with a rather funny ability – “Sea Ballad”. With its help, the naga mesmerizes the enemy, causing him to dance. Heroes who can still survive Lady La La’s deadly song will receive an accessory in the form of a music box.

Don Omar – Don Omar

There are really a lot of musicians in World of Warcraft. In Stormwind, you can meet the mentor of hunters Don Omar. The English-speaking audience is very familiar with the reggaeton singer and Grammy Award winner of the same name. Unlike Lady La-La, Omar does not perform songs, but simply peacefully goes about his business in the city. Like many characters in our article, it was also added to WoW in the Cataclysm add-on.

Slim Shady Dealer – Eminem

For most celebrities, Blizzard creates characters with similar models or endows them with features with which they obviously guess the reference. However, to find out in the World of Warcraft the popular rapper Eminem is not so simple. In the game, he is presented as an astral ether who sells essential goods in the Terokkar Forest location. The only thing that unites the musician with this creation is the name. The ethereal name is Slim Shady Dealer. Slim Shady is the second pseudonym for Eminem and the name of one of his records. Unfortunately, ether does not sell any music disks, and it doesn’t meet buyers with punch. Slim Shady Dealer was added to The Burning Crusade.

Justin Timberlord – Justin Timberlake

Despite the sonorous name of Timberlord, in the game this character is an ordinary lumberjack in worn pants and a shirt. A copy of the famous pop singer Justin Timberlake can be met by the heroes of the Alliance in their military camp in addition to Warlords of Draenor. Timberlord will appear after the construction of the sawmill in the garrison. He will give the hero several quests related to finding wood in the vicinity. Despite the fact that Timberlord changed his role and turned from a musician into a lumberjack, he retained some of the external features of Timberlake.

Mina Kunis – Mila Kunis

If nothing is known about Justin Timberlake’s addiction to World of Warcraft, then his girlfriend Mila Kunis is familiar with Azeroth pretty well. She admitted in an interview that she spent a lot of time at WoW. With the addition of Warlords of Draenor, she became part of the game. It is curious that for a long time journalists attributed the affair to Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake, and Blizzard, apparently, decided to bring this couple to at least WoW. Mina Kunis, like Justin Timberlord, lives in the garrison of the Alliance – however, she looks much more respectable than her friend. Mila’s character is a fighting female monk dressed in a set of epic armor.

Ksenia Kobchak – Ksenia Sobchak

No matter how epic the armor of Mina Kunis may be, they can not be compared with the fashionable outfit of socialite Psenia Kobchak, which is a direct reference to the TV presenter and journalist Ksenia Sobchak. The blood elf with blonde hair, fashionable glasses and a neckline has become one of the most famous characters in World of Warcraft.

In the English version of the game, her name is Haris Pilton – a reference to Paris Hilton. Russian-speaking localizers were lucky that in our media field there appeared the most similar character who got into the image. The socialite has a pet, whose name is Foal.

Unlike many character stars, Psia Kobchak was the center of attention in The Burning Crusade expansion, not only because of her spectacular appearance, but also due to the goods sold. She could find all kinds of expensive jewelry and, of course, a “Big Bag” with 22 slots, which was really a lot at that time. You can get acquainted with Ksenia Kobchak and look at yourself an expensive ring in Shattrat.

Amelia Clark – Emilia Clark

Dragons in World of Warcraft do not need a mother and patron of the human race, but Blizzard still decided to add Daenerys Targaryen from the Game of Thrones to the game, or rather, actress Emilia Clark, who embodied this image in the HBO series. In the Barrier of the Winds you can find the warlike blonde beauty Amelia Clark chained in armor. She is no longer eager to capture cities and free slaves and is now selling epic armor to the heroes of the Alliance. Emilia Clarke became part of World of Warcraft in the expansion of Warlords of Draenor.

Heming Nestway – Ernest Hemingway

Perhaps the most recognizable real person in the Warcraft universe is the hunter Heming Ernestway, who refers to the famous American writer and Nobel Prize winner Ernest Hemingway. In World of Warcraft, he is presented as a bearded dwarf with a pince-nez.

Naughty in WoW does not write novels, but perfectly embodies the main passion of his prototype – hunting. Hemingway from childhood knew how to handle weapons – he honed his skills in the forests of Wyoming and on African safaris. Hemingway preyed on deer, grizzly bears and lions. Some of these stories later formed the basis of his works.

Nerneway repeats in World of Warcraft all these exploits of an American writer. He first appeared in the classic version of WoW in the location “Stranglethorn Valley” and since then has invariably followed the plot of the universe, arranging a hunt in each expansion. It could be found on all continents and in all worlds of Warcraft. Nerneway wanted to spit on politics and world evil, much more interesting for him – to track down the largest game. In addition, he became part of Hearthstone – in the CCI, the hunter could be challenged, as well as his legendary name card.

Harrison Jones – Harrison Ford / Indiana Jones

Harrison Jones is one of the most fearless adventurers in World of Warcraft. It is copied from the image of Indiana Jones from the film of the same name, the role of the character in which was performed by Harrison Ford. As in the movie franchise, Harrison Jones is drawn to mysterious ancient temples and relics in WoW. Gamers first met him in The Burning Crusade when he helped the heroes get into the Zul’Aman raid. In Wrath of the Lich King Harrison had to be saved from captivity, although the adventurer himself, who famously calls us “baby”, in the end would say that it was he who protected us from danger.

The craving for excavations and antiquities brought the player with Harrison Jones and in Cataclysm, where along with him it was necessary to go through a large quest chain. And in Warlords of Draenor he became one of the companions in the garrison – for completing his tasks, you can get an achievement.

Harrison Jones completely copies the style of his prototype: a white shirt, a brown jacket and, of course, a signature hat. Although in Stormwind you can also find an alternative version of the character: Jones walks around with a book, in a stylish suit and pince-nez, and at the same time teaches the heroes of Azeroth archeology.

Winston Wolf – Winston Wolf

If Harrison Jones is a kind of parody of both the film character and the actor who embodied it, then Winston Woolf is a curtsy towards the hero of the film Tarantino. That was the name of the character of “Pulp Fiction”, whose role was played by Harvey Keitel. In the story, Wulf arrived at the main characters to “tidy up” after the perfect murder. A serious man in a black tailcoat who knows how to “solve problems” was one of the most memorable characters in Pulp Fiction.

In World of Warcraft, Woolf is in the Black Raven faction of assassins and thieves. To find him, you will have to go to a secret estate of the same name, which is located in the Alterac Mountains. There Wulf is resting peacefully with a book in his hands. The character exactly copies the style of his prototype – a neat hairstyle, a black tailcoat with a white shirt and bow-tie. Wulf himself has already retired from the “problem-solving” business, so now he is simply giving out to the robber players quests to upgrade the skill of breaking locks.

These characters are just a small fraction of all references and references to famous personalities and popular culture that can be found in World of Warcraft. What Easter eggs did you like and remember in Azeroth the most?
