Bill Clinton, Lil Wayne, Steph Curry - 11 American celebrities you didn't know are Chelsea fans


Chelsea's global success throughout the past two decades has made them one of the most fashionable clubs in world football. From the King's Road, the historic London side have become a commercial powerhouse of the game.

It has taken them to being the most expensive football team ever purchased, two-time European champions and boasters of having 'won it all' as fans like to let their opponents know on a regular basis. They have won the Premier League five times and also have major trophies from the 50s, 60s, 70s, not so much the 80s, and 90s before they blasted onto the scene.

Now they are a true brand of the game and have supporters from across the globe, attracting international fans in flocks on a weekly basis. Their new owners have also made a start at increasing the popularity of the club in America too, but they already have a stellar cast of A-listers in their fanbase.

Will Ferrell

The comedy actor is one of the biggest names on this list and has history of attending matches at Stamford Bridge dating back into the mid-2000s.

Timothee Chalamet

A younger Hollywood star this time, the Dune protagonist has been seen wearing a Blues cap when out and about in the States previously as well as donning the badge at Coachella the day after an FA Cup win in 2022.

Matthew McConaughey

More A-list actors, the Wolf of Wall Street cameo star has visited Stamford Bridge many times before. In 2019 he also met up with the team at SW6 after a Champions League victory, held up his own shirt and posed with Christian Pulisic, the obvious attraction.

Owen Wilson

The film list continues with the Dumb and Dumber cast member seen celebrating Chelsea earlier this season. He was captured jumping up in joy as the team scored against Tottenham back in August. In the directors box he appeared to be trying to keep a low-profile.

Kevin Garnett

Chelsea have support from NBA too with former power forward and 15-time all-star Garnett meeting up with the pre-season squad last summer as well as posing with players back in 2014 too.

Lil Wayne

American rapper Lil Wayne hasn't been seen at the Bridge yet but has sported Chelsea merchandise when performing previously, owing to his place on this list.

Bill Clinton

The former USA President used to go to Stamford Bridge in the 1960s during his time at Oxford and his daughter is even named Chelsea.

Mark Hoppus

Onto the music scene and the Blink-182 bassist was picked out by Chelsea TV in 2012. He named Didier Drogba as his favourite player as well as David Luiz.

Josh Hart

One of Chelsea's most vocal fans online, the New York Knicks basketball player is constantly tweeting about the club and letting his love be known.

Steph Curry

Perhaps the best NBA player right now, Curry has a selection of football teams he seems to favour, with Chelsea being one of them. Even though Tottenham have used the Warriors guard to promote, offering him a shirt, being somewhat involved for Chelsea is a massive coup.

Channing Tatum

It's back to Hollywood again with 22 Jump Street star Channing Tatum. He has been seen at Stamford Bridge alongside other celebrities including Mark Strong.
