‘The Room’ star Tommy Wiseau adds to Mixer’s growing celebrity list

Much-loved movie director and actor Tommy Wiseau has joined the growing list of celebrities signing up to Microsoft’s streaming platform Mixer.

Twitch star Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins announced on August 1 that he would be leaving the platform for its biggest rival Mixer, following an exclusive deal with Microsoft. He was one of the service’s biggest streamers, so his sudden move was a shock to the system for many.

‘The Room’ star Tommy Wiseau decided to follow suit and join the growing list of celebrities migrating onto the platform.

The Room is known as one of the “best worst” movies of all time.

“Oh, hi Mixer!”

In a tweet on August 1, Wiseau announced he’d signed up for Mixer and would be streaming there from now on.
