Cooper, 48, barely flinched Howard Stern asked the “big question” during the Tuesday, November 28 episode of The Howard Stern Show. “I really want you to answer this in a serious way,” Stern, 69, added.
Cooper was given two options: a Lombardi Trophy for his home team or a sweep for his film Master at the upcoming 2024 Academy Awards. (The awards ceremony nominations have not yet been officially announced, but Stern’s hypothesis included the wins for Best Director, Best Actor and Best Actress.)
Stern received an answer almost immediately. “Eagles Super Bowl win,” Cooper said with a straight face, teasing, “I know, I’m sick.”
Bradley Cooper, Sylvester Stallone and more Philadelphia Eagles fans
The Philadelphia Eagles have some big names on their side every season. Stars like Bradley Cooper, Kevin Hart, Miles Teller, Joe Biden and more were on hand to watch the Eagles beat the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII, the first time the team won the Vince Lombardi Trophy. At one point, Hart even tried […]
Cooper insisted he wasn’t lying, but fellow Eagles fans didn’t need much convincing. When the official NFL TikTok account shared an excerpt of Cooper’s confession, social media users noted Jason Kelce‘s wife approves of his choice in the comments section.
“Without hesitation. 🤌🥹,” she wrote.
Kylie’s response appeared in a sea of other ‘go birds’ comments, with one fan even suggesting Cooper as a potential guest for Jason and Travis Kelce‘New Heights’ podcast. Another user added, “Tell me you’re a Philly fan without telling me. Love it.”
TikTokers familiar with Cooper’s background were not surprised by the response. A native of Pennsylvania, Cooper’s Eagles fandom bled into his career with the 2012 film Silver Linings Playbook. In the Oscar-nominated film, set in suburban Philly, Cooper played a lifelong Eagles fan named Pat, who has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
Celebrities who love football: Nick Lachey, Mark Wahlberg and more
It’s no secret that athletes like Tom Brady, Jay Cutler and Aaron Rodgers love football, but there are also plenty of stars who enjoy cheering for their favorite team from the sidelines. For example, Nick Lachey is known to cheer on his team from the bench next to eldest son Camden. Jesse James […]
Cooper showed his love for the Philly team again at Super Bowl LII in 2018 and cheered with the owner Jeffrey Lurie when the Eagles defeated the New England Patriots to secure the franchise’s first-ever Super Bowl victory. Days before his Stern interview, Cooper was spotted in a VIP suite at Lincoln Financial Field when the Eagles played the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, November 26.
Like Cooper, Kylie is an avid Eagles fan, but not just because of her husband’s place on the roster. “I’m like an Eagles fan in the sense that if Jason ever went to play for another team, I would wear ‘Kelce,’” she said in the Prime Video documentary Kelce, which debuted in September. “I wouldn’t wear another team’s stuff. For example, I’ve thought about that a number of times when I just couldn’t do it. It sounds terrible.”
Jason was drafted by the Eagles in the sixth round of the 2011 NFL Draft. He married Kylie in 2018 and the couple have three daughters: Wyatt, 4, Elliotte, 2, and Bennett, 19 months.
