On Feb. 13, 2022, Super Bowl LVI will kick off at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. With the stadium being so close to Hollywood, you can expect a slew of famous faces in the crowd. Many of them will even have a huge rooting interest in the game as fans of either the Los Angeles Rams or the Cincinnati Bengals. Rob Lowe, for instance, is no stranger to SoFi Stadium, as he's attended several Rams games since the team moved from St. Louis to L.A. In fact, he supported the boys in blue during the NFC Championship Game on Jan. 30, 2022.

A sibling rivalry! While Rob Lowe is a Los Angeles Rams supporter, brother Chad Lowe is a diehard Cincinnati Bengals guy. The "ER" star even wore a Bengals jersey to the NFC Championship Game, which the Bengals didn't play in. Before the Bengals' playoff game against Tennessee in mid-January, Chad said, "All I wanted for my birthday was a @bengals first playoff win in 30 years!"

Rebel Wilson is a relatively new football fan, but she's quickly become a Rams diehard. Not only did she attend the NFC Championship Game on Jan. 30, 2022, but she starred in a Rams commercial last year to promote the team's draft. The Australian actress first got into football via TV shows and documentaries. "Then I got invited to go to some of the Rams games at the Coliseum, and it was the best time," she told The Hollywood Reporter in 2021. "America really knows how to do sports, full stop." She predicted that if the Rams were in the Super Bowl, "Every man and his dog is going to try to be there."

George Clooney has been photographed rocking Bengals gear in the past, and the Ohio native once told Baltimore Ravens legend Ed Reed, "You hurt me bad. I'm a Bengals fan."

Jessica Alba was born and raised in the Los Angeles area, so it's no surprise who she's pulling for in the big game. On Jan. 30, 2022, she attended the NFC Championship Game with her parents. She captioned a selfie with the hashtag "Ram's House."

Back in 2015, Josh Hutcherson donned a Cincinnati Reds baseball hat while playing in the MLB All-Star Legends & Celebrity Softball Game. However, his focus was more on football. "Who dey, baby," the "Hunger Games" star told a local camera crew, referring to the Bengals chant. He added, "Who dey, all day everyday."

Ty Burrell is no fair-weather Rams fan, having been devoted to the team since he was a kid. Interestingly, Ty grew up in Oregon, which isn't exactly Rams country. "My father's family was from Chino and they would send us Rams hats and jerseys when we were kids, and it became our way of connecting to our extended family. I was a Rams fan long before I watched a game," he told the Los Angeles Times in 2018. "And then, in the '70s, we would communicate to them once a month or so, and it was usually about the team, so our watching was imperative." In 2016, the "Modern Family" star attended the first half of a Rams game and then went directly to the Emmys.

Having been raised in Ohio, Woody Harrelson grew up a Bengals fan — he calls them his "beloved" Bengals. Funny enough, there was once a theory out there that he unintentionally cursed the Bengals because of a "Cheers" episode that involved a foosball table (yes, it's a stretch, but most curses are). After that episode, the Bengals didn't win a playoff game for 31 years. The curse is now over, and Woody is vindicated.

In 2020, fans weren't allowed to be inside SoFi stadium. No problem for Taran Killam — he purchased a cardboard cut-out of himself so at least a part of him could still be in attendance at Rams games. On Halloween, he carved a Rams pumpkin. The "Saturday Night Live" alum also has a Rams game ball and an endless supply of Rams swag (look at his Instagram).

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is one of Kid Cudi's biggest fans — he's claimed he listens to the rapper's "New York City Rage Fest" before every game. As luck would have it, the Bengals clinched a Super Bowl spot on Cudi's 38th birthday. "Best bday gift ever to be honest," he tweeted. He also got in touch with Cincy's signal caller, who sent him a game-worn jersey. "Ok. So after the Bengals win against the Chiefs, I hit Joe and congratulated him and asked if I could have his jersey. He said yes and sent it right away," Cudi tweeted while sharing a pic of the jersey. The "Day 'n' Night" rapper is planning to wear it to the Super Bowl and then frame it.

Bryan Cranston didn't want to like the modern-day Rams, but they won him over. The "Breaking Bad" actor was a huge Rams fan, having grown up in Los Angeles. However, the team moved to St. Louis in 1995 and Bryan was crushed, equating it to getting dumped in a relationship. When they came back to L.A. in 2016, he told NFL Network he was hesitant to love them again. "They won me back, and with the new energy that's infused, it's a really exciting time," he said.

"Football & rock n roll," he wrote alongside this pic.

Fox News' Bill Hemmer grew up in Ohio and started his journalism career as a sports reporter at WCPO in Cincinnati. Clearly, Bill is a Bengal!

After the Bengals win in the AFC Championship, Bill took to Instagram and wrote, "One more. #LVI."
