Adam Sandler Cheers on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge

Actor and comedian Adam Sandler added a touch of Hollywood glamour to Stamford Bridge in London as he vocally supported Chelsea Football Club during their clash against Newcastle United on Monday night.

The 57-year-old US star donned the team’s signature blue colors, clad in a blue jumper and a black winter jacket, as he watched the game from a suite overlooking the pitch, alongside Chelsea’s American co-owner Todd Boehly.

It was a high-profile appearance for Sandler, who has a fondness for Chelsea, being a guest at their home ground, Stamford Bridge.

The match marked Chelsea’s return to playing in front of their fans after a challenging period, including a disappointing defeat to Wolves and a draw with a depleted Liverpool team in the Carabao Cup final.

In recent years, American celebrities have shown an increased interest in British football clubs, with stars like Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney co-owning Wrexham and Michael B Jordan becoming a minority stakeholder in AFC Bournemouth. Notable figures like NFL legend Tom Brady have also made investments in clubs like Birmingham City.

Adam Sandler, known for his versatile acting career from early days on Saturday Night Live to blockbuster hits like ‘Happy Gilmore‘, ‘The Wedding Singer‘, and ‘You Don’t Mess With The Zohan’, has also proven his prowess in dramatic roles in movies such as ‘Punch-Drunk Love’ and ‘Uncut Gems‘.
