Terry Crews And Jeff Goldblum Among The Stars In Attendance As Como Beat Torino

Start

Terry Crews, Jeff Goldblum, Mark Strong, AJ Tracey and Thierry Henry were among the stars in attendance as Como beat Torino on Sunday. 

The quintet of A-Listers watched on as Anastasios Douvikas scored the only goal of the game at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia on GW32.

Cesc Fabregas’ side certainly didn’t crack under the pressure as they picked up a vital three points. As it stands, I Lariani are 13th in the Serie A standings.

Their Jurassic performance certainly appeared to excite Goldblum. The 72-year-old actor was seen applauding the winning goal alongside Henry.

The former Arsenal soccer forward was also spotted cracking a joke with Crews. It further appeared that certain spectators weren’t aware they were sat near such esteemed company.

With that said, many of Hollywood and the music industry’s finest have been spotted at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia this season.

Terry Crews, Jeff Goldblum, Thierry Henry, AJ Tracey And Mark Strong Watch Como

Terry Crews, Jeff Goldblum, Thierry Henry, AJ Tracey and Mark Strong have certainly helped continue the Como trend amongst A-Listers.

Earlier in the season, Andrew Garfield, Keira Knightley, Hugh Grant, Adrian Broady and Benedict Cumberbatch have all cheered I Lariani on.

The reason why? Como is a hugely popular holiday resort for the stars. Henry’s case is somewhat different as he is an investor in the Serie A side.

Nonetheless, the Italian soccer side are certainly garnering social media interest with the number of celebrities who are dropping in to catch a game. Wonder who could turn up for the next home match?

That remains to be seen but club president Mirwan Suwarso insisted that ushering the celebs into the stadium is part of Como’s commercial strategy.

We try to give more and more to our fans, something that goes beyond football and entertains everyone: Adults, children, superfans and general enthusiasts,” he explained.
