Feb. 09--You figure "Room" actress Brie Larson isn't the biggest football fan in the world when she told Jimmy Kimmel she didn't know who won Super Bowl 50 and her best guess was the Chicago Bears.
But you question if the Oscar nominee even knows what football is when her next stab at it was the Cubs.
Larson fumbled with the answer on Kimmel's late-night show Monday by asking him whether the mascot was an animal. "OK, OK, OK, OK, OK. The Bears? The Cubs! No. (Bleep)," she said, holding her head down while Kimmel laughed. "I'm not going to keep going with this."
"It doesn't matter, you'll figure it out when the guy from the team comes out," Kimmel said.
"He's here?" Larson asked.
Apparently, she also had no clue she would be sharing the talk show stage with Broncos pass rusher DeMarcus Ware, fresh off Denver's victory in the Super Bowl, whatever that is.
