Every celebrity that watched the Lions win at Ford Field Sunday night

Let’s go Lions!

The Lions are just one win away from playing in the Super Bowl, and it seemed like all of Hollywood was at Ford Field Sunday night cheering on the Lions to another playoff victory.

OK, it wasn’t all of Hollywood, but it really felt like any celebrity that has ties to Detroit or Michigan was at the Lions game cheering on the hometown team.

We all know that Eminem is the biggest Lions fan, but he may have some stiff competition as the Lions (hopefully) make their way to the Super Bowl. Let’s take a look at who else showed up to Ford Field.

Eminem

It would have been bad luck if Eminem didn’t show up to Sunday night’s game. He is certainly a good luck charm at this point, and one of the Lions’ biggest fans. Let’s hope he can make it to San Francisco next Sunday to cheer on the team.

Bob Seger

The rock and roll legend himself, Bob Seger, stopped by Ford Field to cheer on the Lions. Seger doesn’t make too many public appearances these days, so it was really cool that he attended the game Sunday night. He even got a photo with Governor Gretchen Whitmer!

Big Gretch

Speaking of Big Gretch, Michigan’s very own Governor Gretchen Whitmer showed up to Ford Field to support the Lions. She posted a great video on social media of her waving a giant Lions flag inside the stadium. It’s so fun to even see a politician let loose and have some fun. Let’s hope she makes it out to San Francisco next week!

Jeff Daniels

The Chelsea, Michigan native was at Ford Field to cheer on the Lions. Daniels has always been a huge supporter of not only Detroit, but Michigan in general. Also, he and Payton Manning attempted to release the curse that has plagued the Lions for years on an episode of “Peyton’s Place,” so this very well all could be happening because of Manning and Daniels. He even stopped by to chat with Local 4 before the game!

If Daniels was attending the game, you knew that Manning was going to be there, too. He’s got to take some credit for lifting the curse, right?

Flavor Flav

Flavor Flav is Detroit’s favorite part-time resident, so it was so fun to see that he attended Sunday night’s game, giant clock and all. I wonder how many times he chanted “FLAVOR FLAVVVVVV.” Hopefully the limit does not exist.

Chad Smith

The Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer and official Will Ferrell doppelgänger, Chad Smith, has been one of the Lions’ biggest supporters this year. The Metro Detroit native performed with the Lions’ drum line before last Sunday’s first playoff game, and he was in attendance again to cheer on the Lions.

Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson

You just know these Detroit Lions legends were going to be in attendance again for another playoff victory.

Taylor Lautner

The Grand Rapids native has been attending almost all Lions home games this year. The actor, most known for playing Jacob in the “Twilight” movies, was in attendance Sunday night to cheer on his team.

Ninja

The gaming superstar (if you play Fortnite, you know who he is), cheered on the Lions Sunday night. The Metro Detroit native is a huge fan of the Lions, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he traveled to San Francisco to support the team. He’s even rocking the blue hair!


Who do you hope will make it to San Francisco next Sunday to cheer on the Lions? Let us know in the comments below!
