The Kansas City Chiefs have amassed quite a celebrity following over the years.

The Kansas City Chiefs were founded in 1960, and originally called the Dallas Texans. It was in 1963 that they relocated to Missouri and became the Chiefs. The Chiefs played in the first ever Super Bowl in 1967, but lost to the Green Bay Packers. They returned to the big game in 1970 and received their first ever Super Bowl win against the Minnesota Vikings. After that, the team had a 50-year drought, and did not return to the Super Bowl until 2020. It was a huge game for the Chiefs, as they took home the W against the San Francisco 49ers. Now, in 2024, the Chiefs and the 49ers are having a rematch during Super Bowl LVIII.

Despite some rough years, the Chiefs have garnered an intense fan following, with many celebrities joining the ranks of their fans. From Brad Pitt to Paul Rudd, click through the gallery to check out which stars are fans of the Kansas City Chiefs.
