With the start of the new Premier League season just days away, supporters up and down the country will be getting excited for the new football season.
Unai Emery’s Aston Villa are set for a big season. The club are playing in the Champions League for the first time and will be hoping to build on last season’s top four finish in the league.
Villa are one of the biggest clubs in England, let alone just the Premier League, so it doesn’t come as much of a shock to realise some of their loyal fans are celebrities.
We’ve decided to put together a list of the actors who are known to support the Villa ahead of the new season.
Here's a full rundown:
1. Tom Hank
Along with Prince William, probably Villa's most famous supporter. He's been a fan of the Villa for many years due to the name of the club, which he liked the sound of.
