Nicholas Hoult, the British actor known for his role in “Superman,” just had a crash course in American football—by hitting up a Pittsburgh Steelers preseason game! Despite admitting he doesn’t know much about the game, he was all smiles as he cheered on the Black and Yellow against the Buccaneers. Hoult, who openly preferred soccer back home in the UK, described the experience as “awesome.” Who knew he’d be stepping into the American sports world with such enthusiasm?
Before the game, he even got to meet the Steelers’ brand-new quarterback, Aaron Rodgers. Talk about a star-struck moment! Hoult called it “cool” to connect with Rodgers just before kickoff. It’s refreshing to see someone from Hollywood dive into a new sport, rather than just waving around a soccer ball. Here’s a thought—could we be witnessing the birth of a new NFL superfan?
As Hoult speculates on the potential of a Super Bowl in Europe, particularly with the Steelers scheduled to face the Vikings in Ireland soon, it begs the question: could this be the start of a new European football frenzy? If he’s waving a Terrible Towel, you know he’s officially joined the fan club. So, how many of you would ditch your team to hang out with a celeb like Hoult at a game? Let’s hear your thoughts!
