Celebrity Support Heats Up for 2025 World Series
In a unique twist of sports and entertainment, the 2025 World Series has not only brought two powerhouse baseball teams to the spotlight but also pitted Hollywood stars against each other in their hometown support.
Los Angeles Dodgers: A Who’s Who of Celebrity Fans
The Los Angeles Dodgers, set to defend their title and become the first team since the Yankees’ 1998-2000 era to win back-to-back championships, have a bevy of star supporters. Among them are:
- Actors Jason Bateman and Will Ferrell
- Rock bassist Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers
- Rob Lowe, seen cheering on Shohei Ohtani during the Division Series victory over the San Diego Padres.
- Singers like Chris Pratt, Jimmy Kimmel, John Legend, Jennifer Lawrence, Ashton Kutcher, and Mila Kunis who were present for L.A.’s run last year.
The list of fans extends to musicians such as Billie Eilish, Finneas (her brother), Ice Cube, Kendrick Lamar, Brad Paisley, and Tinashe. These artists not only root for the Dodgers but also perform at key moments in the series, like singing the National Anthem.
Toronto Blue Jays: A City of Star Supporters
On the other side of the baseball divide, the Toronto Blue Jays have a legion of influential fans:
- Ryan Reynolds, Rachel McAdams, Sandra Oh, and Eugene Levy, all from the city’s film and television industry.
- Director Guillermo del Toro, who has purchased property in Toronto after finding love for the city during his years filming there.
- Finn Wolfhard of Stranger Things, seen wearing a Blue Jays cap while promoting his solo music tour.
- Musicians like Avril Lavigne, Justin Bieber, and Rush’s Geddy Lee join the fanbase.
The support for the Blue Jays extends to popular culture icons such as Drake. His cover art for his Meek Mill diss track “Back to Back” famously used a photo from Game 6 of the 1993 World Series, where the Jays won with a walk-off home run by Joe Carter.
The 1993 win marked Toronto’s last appearance in the MLB finals until this year. The Blue Jays’ fans are eagerly awaiting another chance to celebrate their city’s baseball triumphs.
