10 Celebrities You Didn't Know Are Wrestling Fans

10. Jack Whitehall

Jack Whitehall may not look like your archetypal wrestling fan, but for the most part the stereotypical wrestling fan is an outdated image. The privileged comedian and actor has proven his pro-wrestling bonafides time and again over his decade or so in the spotlight, and his vocal support for the business has landed him some plum gigs.

Most notably, in 2019 he was given the opportunity to interview Cody Rhodes and friend Tony Khan during AEW’s nascency. ITV, the network which airs AEW in the UK, were looking to give their new product a push and chose the popular Whitehall for the job. Comedians thrust into the world of wrestling can be a dangerous proposition as the temptation is to play it cool and mock the product, but Whitehall did no such thing, speaking to Rhodes and Khan at length with obvious passion for the product.

Whitehall has also participated in some luchador action for A League Of Their Own, albeit in a more obviously comedic fashion, and expressed his delight at working with The Rock on a forthcoming Disney movie, though that’s not so much wrestling fandom as a natural human reaction.
