Famous Celebrity Fans of Brazil

Here, we will take a look at some of the celebrity fans of Brazil. The Samba nation has football running in it’s veins as fans churn up in the stadium or on the streets to celebrate the spirit of the game. The recent strife in Brazil hasn’t affected the World Cup at all and this acts as another supporting claim to the fact that the Brazilians rarely let any external factor affect their love for the game. This has produced some intriguing talent in the nation who have made the country and their fans proud with their impressive performances. There are numerous celebrities among these fans who have a soft corner for the Brazilian football team. Let’s go through a list of some of these fans.

#1. Pittbull

Even if his lyrics mostly suggest his love for Los Angeles and Miami, the singing sensation is not an avid supporter of the US soccer team. Singing this year’s World Cup theme song with JLO, he’s a fan of the Selecao as he likes their passing technique. Well, soon we will hear him sing “ From Rio to Sao Paulo” in one of his songs.

#2. Giselle Bundchen

The Brazilian bombshell may be a representative of the United Nations Environment Programme but she would not share the same communal feeling in the World Cup, as she would direct her support to the Selecao, specifically. Also, reports suggest that she would be the person presenting the World Cup to the winners. Well, she surely would be hoping Thiago Silva receives it.

#3. Lady Gaga

The American singer and songwriter was recently pictured wearing the traditional yellow Brazil kit in her hotel room’s balcony. Well, we just hope that the Selecao brush through the competition keeping a “pokerface”.

#4. Amitabh Bachhan

Yes, the perennially evergreen Indian movie star, Amitabh Bacchan, has publicly declared that he’s a Brazilian fan due to the amazing history and the sheer consistency with which the Selecao play. Numerous fans from the common public are sure to jump on to the Brazilian bandwagon due to one of their favourite superstar’s support.

#5. Niall Fallon

The popular boy band, One Direction, singer Neil Fallon started off the World Cup by performing in the opening ceremony along with other performances by Pittbull and Jennifer Lopez. A tweet from him reading “PRA CIMA MAJOOOR! #letsgobrazil #goodluckbroneymar” suggested his ardent support for the Selecao. As the band has a mixed reception around the world, let’s hope the Brazilians take the positive influence from the man and display it in their playing style.
