Who are the Seahawks' biggest celebrity fans? Chris Pratt, Will Ferrell and Rainn Wilson among all-star group

Seattle’s 12th Man has always been more than a stadium sound byte, and this season the Seahawks’ most recognizable boosters are proving it stretches well beyond the Pacific Northwest. From sitcom legends to Grammy-winning rappers, an all-star lineup of famous faces is flying the Seahawks flag as the franchise vies for another deep playoff run.

Chris Pratt, who grew up in the Seattle area, has never hidden his Seahawk pride. The actor has turned up at pivotal moments, including the NFC Championship victory, and even dropped by Prime Video’s Thursday Night Football set to rep his hometown squad.

Will Ferrell’s fandom comes with a comic twist. The comedian has prowled the Lumen Field sidelines during pre-game warmups, chatting up players and staff, and once hijacked a 2020 virtual team meeting by impersonating rookie tight end Greg Olsen to introduce himself to the locker room.

Rainn Wilson’s connection runs deepest of all. A Seattle native and University of Washington alumnus, Wilson has cheered the Seahawks since their inaugural Kingdome days. In 2023 he toured the team’s practice facility, mingled with players and raised the ceremonial 12 Flag atop the stadium.

Hip-hop star Macklemore keeps the city’s music and football cultures intertwined. His anthem “Can’t Hold Us” has soundtracked countless Seahawks touchdowns, and he has filmed promotional pieces with coaches and players while maintaining a steady presence at training camps.

Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero, a Seattle native and former O’Dea High two-sport athlete, routinely returns home to attend camp practices. During a 2023 visit he tested his arm in a passing contest with an offensive tackle and was later honored as a 12 Flag raiser before a preseason kickoff.

Even Bill Nye the Science Guy gets in on the action. After nine years working at Boeing and co-founding Seattle’s first men’s Ultimate Frisbee team, Nye served as honorary flag raiser during the Seahawks’ October 2023 matchup against the Cleveland Browns.

Whether on the field, in the stands, or on a Zoom call, Hollywood’s biggest names continue to amplify the 12s’ roar, reminding the NFL that Seattle’s fan base is as star-studded as it is loud.
