I am obsessed with The Weeknd's slow descent into Persona-addled madness, including Photoshopping a tattoo of Persona 5's biggest baddie on his arm

Main: The Weeknd performs live onstage during his "After Hours til Dawn" tour at MorumBIS Stadium on April 30, 2026 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Inset: Tae Takemi from Persona 5.

I know celebrities are just richer, more out-of-touch versions of us peasants, but I do admit I get a bit of a kick out of seeing them obsessing over the same videogames as me—Keke Palmer playing The Sims and Tekken, Doja Cat's current journey through Final Fantasy 14, that one time Lady Gaga played Bayonetta.

But there is perhaps no bigger celebrity nerd than artist The Weeknd. I mean, his Instagram profile picture is literally drawn by Final Fantasy royalty Yoshitaka Amano, y'all. The Weeknd knows ball. I'm not at all jealous, by the way.
