When the Patriots face off against the Rams this Sunday, there will be plenty of famous faces rooting for Tom Brady and his team. Find out who below.
Who will you be rooting for this Super Bowl Sunday? The New England Patriots or the Los Angeles Rams? If you’re with New England, then you’ll be happy to learn you have quite a slew of celebs who will also cheer on Tom Brady and the rest of the Patriots.
Conan O’Brien
Conan O’Brien made it clear to the world that he was a die-hard Patriots fan when in 2017 he surprised running back, James White, with a new Ford F-150 on his talk show. O’Brien was trying to make up for the fact that White didn’t receive that year’s much-deserved MVP, as he made the winning touchdown for the New England Patriots at Super Bowl LI. Of course, the MVP went to Tom Brady, but, hey, at least White got a new truck!

Matt Damon
Matt Damon, of course, is a Patriots fan as he’s a well-known Cambridge, Massachusetts native. Damon has always been loud and proud about his New England pride. And, in 2011, Damon even got the chance to try on the three (at the time) Patriots Super Bowl rings when he appeared on a podcast with NHL Network’s Rich Eisen. Now, he’ll have to go back to try on the other two!

Gisele Bundchen
We definitely couldn’t exclude Gisele from our list. I mean, she’s only the world’s number one Tom Brady fan! Gisele is famous for her modeling career, and secondly famous for her dedication to her husband’s team. In 2018, when the Eagles shockingly beat the Patriots, Gisele turned the loss into a lesson to her children. She may have meant well, but she definitely got some heat from it. She stated to her children, “Daddy won five times. They never won before. Their whole life, they never won a Super Bowl. You have to let someone else win sometimes.”

Steven Tyler
Although Steven Tyler grew up in the New York City area, his band, Aerosmith, is considered a Boston band. Tyler has had the pleasure of performing the national anthem at numerous Patriot’s games. You may remember his famous sparkly Patriots scarf which he donned proudly at the 2012 Championship game.

Lea Michele
Lea Michele is another New Yorker that turned on her home state to root for the Patriots. Michele has always considered herself a Patriots fan, and who could blame her? Michele definitely shows her pride in Tom Brady in particular as she has been spotted rocking a number 12 jersey on many occasions. Michele told People, “Tom Brady’s an incredible athlete. He will go down probably in my generation as one of the greatest athletes that I’ll get to see.”
Ben Affleck
Ben Affleck famously grew up in Cambridge, Massachusetts. And, we all know that he is a major sports fan for Boston teams. When the whole “Deflategate” scandal was the talk of the town, Affleck publicly and sternly defended his MVP, Tom Brady. Affleck also went viral about his love for Tom Brady in particular when he performed on a Jimmy Kimmel Live sketch in which he stated that Brady was, “the greatest quarterback who ever walked the Earth,” and then added that he was, “the greatest man in all of humanity.” If that didn’t get the point across to sport’s lover about Affleck’s team preferences, then I don’t know what will.

John Krasinski
John Krasinski grew up in Newton, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston. And, although he’s made it big and is filming his way around Hollywood, Kransinski has definitely remained loyal to his home team. Krasinski is known for constantly joking about how the Patriots are the top-dog in the league and how everyone is jealous. But, I mean, he’s not wrong, right?

Mark Wahlberg
Marky Mark may be one of the most famous celebrity Patriots fans. Of course, his accent is a dead giveaway for where he’s from — Dorchester, Massachusetts. But, he has also made his pride and faith in his team very public throughout the years by encouraging the team as they step closer and closer to the season’s Super Bowl Championship.
