Bob Marley? Tom Hanks? Jay Z? Austin Powers?
With Justin Bieber revealing himself as an unexpected Everton fan, it got us wondering here at CaughtOffside which other celebrities claim to support some pretty unexpected sides.
We look at just the famous faces you might be lucky to see in terraces this season in the Premier League.
Arsenal:
Some of the most famous faces in the music industry are said to support the Gunners with Jay Z chief among them. Not to mention the acting royalty with the likes of Benedict Cumberbatch, Matt Damon and Keanu Reaves.
But none can top the Queen of England. It was reported in the mid-2000s that the Elizabeth II herself was a certified Gooner.
Aston Villa:
Situated in such a well of part of the UK you’d expect Chelsea to have just a little allure when it comes to celebrity fans and they don’t disappoint with Charlize Theron, Will Ferrell, Jeremy Clarkson and Ed Sheeran all said to frequent Stamford Bridge. Everton:
As mentioned, Bieber has to be the biggest celebrity to surprisingly follow the Toffees over land and sea but he’s in good company with acting royalty Judi Dench and legendary Beatle Sir Paul McCartney. Not to mention Rocky himself Sylvester Stallone. Hull City:
The only names we could find for Hull City were Omar Sharif and Sinitta – which is surely the dictionary definition of the word ‘weird’ and two names you thought you’d never see get written together. Liverpool:
James Bond AND Austin Powers? You can’t get much better than that. Well you can actually; Brangelina, Dr Dre, Gary Barlow and even Samuel L. Jackson all claim to don the famous Red shirt. Manchester United:
With United’s global presences you’d expect a myriad of names from around the world claiming to be Red Devils and you’re not disappointed in the slightest; Justin Timberlake, Miley Cyrus, Rihanna, Usain Bolt.
Oh and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un too. West Ham:
You wondered how Elijah wood was able to play a football hooligan so believably in Green Street? He’s actually a West Ham fan.
He was robbed of that Best Actor Oscar.
Tottenham Hotspur:
It says right here on the internet that Bob Marley may well have been a Tottenham Hotspur fan. And when has the internet ever led us in the wrong direction before? You kind of hope it is true save for the day Spurs adopt one of Marley’s Reggae hits rather than the continuingly dull and slowed down: “Oh When the Spurs Go Marching In”.
