50 Of Chelsea’s Most Famous Celebrity Fans

Famous celebrities who are Chelsea’s fan

Timothy Lovejoy – TV presenter

How does it sound to hear that TV/Radio sports presenters support one club or the other? Awkward?Unusual? Well, they’re humans after all.

Timothy Lovejoy is another English staunch supporter of Chelsea. The ace sportscaster is a popular figure in the media industry as far as the United Kingdom is concerned; known for hosting a Saturday morning football program (Soccer AM).

According to Timothy, he’s started following Chelsea as a teenager and to date, still supports the club. Also, Lovejoy is a huge fan of Chelsea’s former manager, Jose Mourinho.

Now an integral figure of the Blues fan movement, Lovejoy has taken a step back from football and into the kitchen, featuring on cooking shows such as Something for the Weekend and Sunday Brunch.

Bill Clinton – Former President of the USA

Apparently, Bill Clinton is an American politician and attorney who ruled the American Nation as the 42nd president of the United States between 1993 to 2001.

Maybe it’s a coincidence, that the former USA President named her daughter Chelsea – perhaps out of his affection for the Blues.

Rumour has it that Clinton had been a huge fan of Chelsea since the 1960s, so much so that while he was studying for his degree at Oxford, he would often go to Stamford Bridge to watch Chelsea play.

Having an Ex-President from one of the biggest and most civilized nations of the world clearly shows how far the Chelsea brand has gone across the globe.

Kevin Garnett – NBA Player

It’s a normal feat for sportsmen that aren’t footballers to have their favorite football clubs.

Usain Bolt is an example; the Jamaican Sprinter has been a long-time Manchester United fan and at some point was on the verge of playing football for the Red Devils.

For Kevin Garnett, who loves sports in and out, soccer is one sport he loves with a passion.

He’s a big-time Chelsea admirer and supporter; regularly in contact with the likes of Chelsea legend, Didier Drogba who happens to be one of his favorite players.

The former Boston Celtics forward has gone to see the Blues several times during his off-season when Chelsea toured the United States.

Frank Khalid – Entrepreneur

Khalid grew up in Newham, London. He’s an astute businessman who owns three different businesses across the United Kingdom namely Elbrook Cash And Carry, Chak89 Restaurant, and West London Film Studios with a profit of multi-million pounds.

The Brit hardly misses any Chelsea match; this has brought about his closeness with the most current and ex-Chelsea footballers.

Recently, he invited Netherlands and Crystal Palace fullback Patrick Van Aanholt, former boxer David Haye, and Chelsea FC defender Emerson Palmieri to Elbrook Cash and Carry.

His restaurant is known as a regular dining place for top-notch celebrities from Bollywood like Shah Rukh Khan, Shilpa Shetty, Priyanka Chopra, etc.

Other famous people that have visited Chak89 Restaurant include American actors Vanessa Hudgens, Lindsay Lohan, Jesse Metcalfe, and his long-time footballer friend, Willian.

He does have a picture he took with Chelsea’s past and present players.

Abhishek Bachchan is one of the prominent stars of Bollywood.

The 44-year-old who co-owns Indian Super League side Chennaiyin FC has been a die-hard fan of English Football and has often been seen following football diligently with his colleagues from Bollywood.

Recently, when the Dhoom crooner contracted Covid-19, he received a special letter from the club, wishing him a speedy recovery from the dreaded contagion.

The Bollywood star is a regular visitor to Stamford Bridge and he’s been presented with a personalized jersey on multiple occasions from the club and is often seen with the Blues players.

Sean Lock – Comedian

Lock is an English comedian, actor, and writer well known for his appearances on television and radio.

He was born into a family where both his parents, older brother, and a larger number of his cousins are Chelsea, staunch supporters.

The 57-year-old Lock has been a lifelong Chelsea supporter and has also held a season ticket for many years, meaning he has seen the good and the bad times, the pre and post-Abramovich years in West London.

Sean is today a successful comedian and actor who won the British Comedy Award in 2000 in the category of Best Live Comic and was nominated for the Perrier Comedy Award.

Jeremy Vine – Broadcast Journalist

Another Broadcast Journalist makes the list. An English presenter, broadcaster, and journalist, Jeremy became popular in England as the host of his BBC Radio 2 lunchtime program which presents news, views, interviews with live guests, and popular music.

The astute pen pusher is as passionate as every other Chelsea fan who would always take his daughter to go see football matches at Stamford Bridge.

After Jose Mourinho’s sack in his second coming at the Bridge in 2015, Jeremy penned an open letter to the Portuguese gaffer, outlining Jose’s flaws which led to his sack right from his first term in 2005 as a Chelsea manager.
