The New England Patriots have no shortage of support from celebrities. Quarterback Tom Brady, who is now a Tampa Bay Buccaneer, is essentially a celebrity after 21 years in the NFL with 10 Super Bowl appearances. And even though he’s moved on, he’s surely rooting for New England (so long as he’s not playing against the Patriots).
But because of Brady and Bill Belichick’s long run of success, the Patriots have clearly picked up support from folks in Hollywood, politics and the music industry. It also helps that there are a number of famous people from Massachusetts. So here are 20 celebrities who are huge Patriots fans.
