Russell Crowe, famous for his roles in Gladiator and A Beautiful Mind, chose Real Madrid to promote his film, Robin Hood in 2010. The owner of Australian rugby side South Sydney Rabbitohs, the actor from New Zealand is a massive football fan as well.

Crowe visited Valdebebas, Madrid’s training facility and spent time with Alvaro Arbeloa, Cristiano Ronaldo, Raul and Guti. He also took part in a photo shoot with the Portuguese superstar. Prior to his promotional visit to Madrid, the Cinderella Man actor said he intended to make Ronaldo pose in a Rabbitohs cap which he did during his visit. Crowe tweeted, “Mission accomplished Christiano (sic) Ronaldo proudly wore the running rabbit.”


#5 Justin Beiber – Barcelona

Not sure how much of a good thing this is but Canadian pop star Justin Beiber is a longtime Barcelona fan. Before the conclusion of his world tour, Beiber dropped by Barcelona’s training ground last year and took part in some light training with Neymar and Rafinha. The 23-year-old even tried his hand at keeping and taking shots from the penalty spot.

The former teenage sensation even found the time to pose for a picture with one of the world’s most lethal attacking trio, MSN. This wasn’t the first time Beiber visited the Blaugranas either. He stopped by once in 2011 for a quick chat with Messi and Iniesta and tested his own football skills.
