Although it’s easy to think that male celebrities are worlds away from the lives that we live, it seems as though they’re just like us in some ways. While they may not have a regular 9-5, and they might not have to do their own DIY, many of them do love their sports.

They have a favorite team, they watch every game on television, they wear their team’s colors, and they even go to watch the games in real-time. In fact, these male celebs have made no secret of the fact that they love sports, and they aren’t afraid to shout about it. Whether you agree with their team choice or not, you’ve gotta love these guys, right?

Kevin Hart

Thanks to his work as a comedian and actor, Kevin Hart has been able to befriend some of the biggest names in the business, but it seems as though he’s also friends with some of the biggest sporting names in the business. He’s pretty chummy with Joel Embiid, and that’s because Hart regularly attends Philadelphia 76ers games. He’s a huge basketball fan, and while he might not be tall enough to be the next big baller name in the game, he’s made sure to create an epic court set-up at home.

Justin Timberlake

Justin Timberlake may be one of the busiest men in the business, but he still leaves time in his diary to play sports – and to cheer his favorite sports teams. As a huge fan of the Memphis Grizzlies, JT took this to a whole new level when he and his wife decided to become minority owners of the team. As if that wasn’t enough, he’s also a keen golfer and is friends with some big names in the golfing world. Just because he could, Justin bought a run-down golf course in his hometown and completely redeveloped it into something extraordinary.

Spike Lee

If you’re a fan of the New York Knicks, you’ll probably know that Spike Lee is one too. In fact, he has become their ultimate cheerleader over the years, and he has been considered as one of their biggest fans for decades. Whenever he’s not acting or directing the latest blockbuster, he makes his way to the bleachers to watch this team shoot their shots. Of course, he never sets foot into the stadium without wearing his New York Knicks attire. He loves the Knicks, and that’s that.

Because of this, he is often considered to be one of the OG celebrity Clippers fans. We bet the team loves seeing him on the sidelines when he gets the chance to see them play.

Rob Riggle

Of course, he didn’t need much convincing to say yes.

While he loves football and basketball, he has made a name for himself over the years as being a keen baseball fan. His team is the New York Yankees, and he never attends a game without wearing his signature all-black baseball cap. It’s become a tradition for him now, and his fans love it.

Vince Vaughn

Vince Vaughn is known for acting alongside some of the biggest names in the industry, but when he’s not working with Jennifer Aniston or Will Ferrell, he’s spending his free time supporting his favorite Chicago sports teams. While it’s now known why he supports this particular city and their sporting endeavors, he’s often seen on the front row for Chicago Blackhawks games, as well as games for the Cubs and the Bears. If they’re from Chicago, then he probably supports them.

Jay-Z

While Jay-Z and his wife, Beyonce, like to keep away from the limelight and keep their family lives private, they will regularly make their way out of their mega-mansion to watch sports games. Yes, these guys love sitting on the sidelines, and they especially love watching the Brooklyn Nets. What you might not know about this rapper, though, is the fact that Jay-Z used to be a part-owner of this basketball team. Because of this, they try to watch as many games as they possibly can.

Paul Rudd

Paul Rudd may be known as the man who just doesn’t age, but it seems as though people also know him as the man who just loves the Kansas City Royals.

Prince Harry

Although there’s no doubt about the fact that Prince Harry has his hands full, it seems as though he loves to make time for his love of sport. The member of the Royal Family has been introduced to various sports over the course of his life, and many of them are quintessentially British. He is a keen polo player, he loves to play cricket, and he’s been a fan of Arsenal FC for years. While he’s not technically allowed to say that he supports this team because he is supposed to stay neutral, he has let it slip before.

Jack Nicholson

Jack Nicholson has been in the business since the 1950s, but he’s been a long-standing fan of the Los Angeles Lakers almost as long. In fact, he has been a season-ticket holder since 1970, and he has continued to support the team ever since. While he regularly attends games, many die-hard fans have realized that he has become much more subtle over the years. Although he becomes pretty animated from his seat, he used to shout and scream at them in his heyday. That’s something we would have loved to see.

Drake

Drake may be known for being one of the most famous rappers of our time, but it seems as though he’s also built up a reputation for himself as being one of the most famous sports fans of our time. While he caused an uproar in 2013 when he was denied access to the Miami Heat locker room, he seems to have since gotten over this and pledged his allegiance to the Toronto Raptors. However, that doesn’t mean that he supports this team exclusively. He just seems to love sport in general.

Bradley Cooper

Many celebs support the teams that play where they grew up, and that’s no different for Philadelphia native, Bradley Cooper.

Nelly

Famous people love to remember where they came from, and Nelly is no different.

Yes, these guys are truly the most awesome pairing ever.
