Famous People you didn’t know support Chelsea

Chelsea, of course it’s no secret are having one of the worst of its seasons in the current campaign, sitting 1oth place, far off from where the club is often known to be around.

However, this article is not an analysis into how bad the Blues are this season or how unlucky they’ve been not to be within the conversations of a top 4 spot despite spending on an average €1 billion in the transfer market.

This article is about a couple of famous people who are probably feeling bad themselves about how their favorite football team is doing this season.

In a remarkable display of global fandom, Chelsea Football Club has attracted a diverse array of A-list supporters from various corners of the world. Hollywood stars, renowned musicians, and even political figures have all pledged their allegiance to the Premier League powerhouse.

Leading the pack is the Irish actor Gabriel Byrne, famous for his role in “The Usual Suspects,” who has been a long-time Chelsea supporter.

Alongside him, the likes of Joseph Fiennes, Sir Michael Caine famously known for starring in a couple of Christopher Nolan films and for playing Alfred Pennyworth in the Batman films, is a Blue at heart.

Simon Pegg is also another Hollywood star who has an affinity for ‘Blue’ blood (pun intended). The Mission Impossible star is another famous Chelsea fan, but sadly, he couldn’t sway his co-star, Tom Cruise to the West-London side of the divide.

Of course, there is also Hollywood director, Guy Ritchie, and last but not the least, Harry Potter star, Emma Watson who has been captured at the Stamford Bridge stadium on many occasions (we can’t imagine what her feelings are now, seeing as Chelsea are having one of its worst seasons)

International icons aren’t limited to Hollywood, as former U.S. President Bill Clinton has a Chelsea connection dating back to his Oxford days in the 1960s. The political heavyweight has continued to follow the club’s fortunes over the years.

Switching gears to the world of entertainment, Bollywood superstar Abhishek Bachchan proudly dons the Chelsea blue, aligning himself with the club’s global appeal.

He even managed to sneak in a line of dialogue about Chelsea winning the premier league in one of his movies “Game“.

Meanwhile, in the Nigerian entertainment scene, Nollywood stars have passionately embraced the Blues, with actors such as Osita Iheme, Genevieve Nnaji, and musicians like Kcee, Flavour, Mercy Aigbe, 2Baba, Davido, and 9ice showcasing unwavering support.

Osita Iheme, famously known as “Paw Paw,” engaged in good-natured banter with fellow actor Chinedu Ikedieze, an Arsenal enthusiast, over Chelsea’s Premier League prospects. Nollywood queen Genevieve Nnaji has been spotted celebrating Chelsea milestones, including Mikel’s first Premier League goal.

In the Nigerian music scene, Kcee, Flavour, Davido, and 9ice have all become synonymous with Chelsea pride. Davido, in particular, took his enthusiasm to another level, making his way into the player’s dressing room on occasion.

One of Nigeria’s most popular musicians, Davido, takes his Chelsea fandom to the next level by sharing an exclusive glimpse into the player’s dressing room. The artist has been spotted numerous times proudly donning Chelsea’s iconic jersey.
