George Clooney Has Started Watching Derby County Matches, Report Claims
There are few Hollywood bigger than George Clooney, and most football clubs would love to have him as a celebrity fan.
Well, it looks like one club has a better chance than any of nabbing the Oscar winner's fandom—Championship side Derby County.
According to The Sun's Dan , Clooney has started watching the team's games after becoming friends with Money Monster co-star and big Rams fan Jack O'Connell.
A friend of O'Connell's told the paper:
"Wherever Jack is in the world he is tuning in to Derby County matches and he is a vocal supporter so inevitably Clooney became interested in Jack's football moods. He's watched a few games but he's not exactly picked a great time to come on board — the results have been miserable and Jack even more so.
"
Derby endured a terrible end of the season, failing to make the Championship play-offs after vying for promotion for most of the season.
Clooney admitted last week that he is a huge sports fan, much to the annoyance of his wife.
He told Extra (via Us Weekly): "I watch sports, and it kills her. I got her into March Madness a little, I'm a huge Kentucky fan, so she got into that, but it was enough."
