Adam Driver doesn’t often spend time watching sports.
When Driver does indulge, he’s usually watching Novak Djokovic.
Nadal: Ready to Face Fears and Doubts
In a new interview with the Italian publication Gazzetta.IT, the actor who plays Enzo Ferrari in the new film Ferrari, declares himself a Djokovic fanatic.
“I don’t have any favorite football or soccer team,” Driver told Gazzetta.It. “But I root for Djokovic: he’s really beyond.
“I love watching him play.”
Driver isn’t the only prominent actor drawn to Djokovic.
US Open fans will remember actor Gerard Butler joining forces with the Serbian superstar to recreate his classic: “This is Sparta!” from his famed film 300 following his 2018 US Open triumph.
Actors ranging from Brad Pitt to Julia Roberts to Bradley Cooper to Will Smith have attended Djokovic matches with the Grand Slam king sometimes greeting them before, during and after matches.
