Super Bowl
Kansas City Chiefs fan Paul Rudd is in attendance at Super Bowl 2024
The ‘Ant-Man’ star admits Sunday’s Super Bowl will be a tough watch given he has a vested interest in it.
There’s no doubt Paul Rudd will be supporting the Kansas City Chiefs in this Sunday’s Super Bowl LVIII against the San Francisco 49ers. He was just spotted at the stadium in Las Vegas.
Although the actor was born in New Jersey, his family later moved to the suburb of Lexexa, Kansas, which is when his fandom for the team grew.
When the Chiefs won Super Bowl LIV over the San Francisco 49ers back in 2020, Rudd was in attendance, he also attending the Super Bowl last year against the Eagles. He was spotted having the time of his life, embracing Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes after the game was over.
“We did it, man!” he joyously screamed after seeing the Chiefs win their first Super Bowl since Super Bowl IV back in 1970 - when Rudd was just nine months old.

Paul Rudd is a big fan of Patrick Mahomes
Rudd’s embrace of Mahomes following Kansas City’s Super Bowl victory in 2020 is no surprise given he’s never shied away from taking about his fandom.
During an appearance on NFL Network’s Peter Schrager podcast ‘The Season’, Rudd joked that a man his age shouldn’t be such a big fan of a quarterback.
“Let me just say; it is strange for someone my age to look at someone his age and just love him so much. And he’s not in my family,” Rudd said. “If it wasn’t just for the sports thing, it would be creepy.”
