15 Celebrities You May Not Know Were Wrestling Fans!

Description

With well over 50 years since premiering on television, wrestling continues to draw tens of millions of weekly television viewers worldwide. That said, it has always been somewhat taboo to be "out" as a wrestling fan. In recent years, we’ve seen Kylie Jenner wear a nWo Wolfpac shirt — even if she had no idea if she knew what the shirt meant — and John Cena host major televised awards shows and even the Ellen show in April 2019. Meanwhile, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has arguably been the world’s biggest movie star for the last few years. Wrestling is not only a mainstream form of entertainment but one that attracts followers from all walks of life! Celebrities You May Not Realize Were Wrestling Fans Below is a list of 15 celebrities you may not have realized were wrestling fans. The extent of their fandom varies from person to person, but the key is these entertainers "get it" the way that you and I do. And this is without factoring in commonly-discussed famous fans like David Arquette, Andy Kaufman, Freddy Prinze Jr., Drew Carey, or the anchors of Weekend Update from Saturday Night Live. 1. Matthew McConaughey When appearing on The Graham Norton Show in the UK alongside John Cena, Matthew McConaughey attempted to get on the same page as Cena and may have let out more than he intended. By doing such, McConaughey surprised John by talking about his hatred of Skandar Akbar as a kid and how that led to him getting thrown out of a wrestling show! This interaction is shown below for your amusement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0O7IzR3nQVQ 2. Melissa Joan Hart Melissa Joan Hart first won the heart of countless teenagers via Clarissa Explains It All on Nickelodeon. She continued her mainstream television domination a few years later with Sabrina, The Teenage Witch. However, not everyone realizes what a big WWE fan she is. Beyond appearing at 2015’as SummerSlam on a WWE.com exclusive a few years back (seen below), Hart had a brief Twitter feud with Kevin Owens. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6elalhMf0yc 3. Macaulay Culkin Macaulay Culkin was inarguably one of the world’s biggest movie stars in the early 1990s thanks to the Home Alone franchise and several other starring roles. Culkin has been selective with his acting roles in recent years, but he is currently active as a writer and podcaster for his Bunny Ears brand. Beyond challenging Rusev to a fight through social media last year, Culkin has also been seen at many WWE-related events over the years. He even once interfered in a wrestling match using ‘Home Alone’ tactics at a Bar Wrestling show in Los Angeles in 2017. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmuTTfJzwOQ 4. Rancid guitarist and frontman, Lars Frederiksen As a guitarist and vocalist in Rancid for close to 30 years, Lars Frederiksen has toured the world many times over. Those who remember the American punk explosion of the mid-1990s may recall Rancid being mainstream to the point of appearing as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live at one point. Either way, Frederiksen has been spotted at countless wrestling shows over the years.
