The Packers have Harry Styles and Lil Wayne. Here are 9 famous San Francisco 49ers fans

Rapper Lil Wayne has helped the Green Bay Packers introduce "Roll Out the Barrel" at Lambeau Field. Pop star Harry Styles has a Packers tattoo. Rocker Joan Jett can oh-so-coolly name drop legends like Ray Nitschke and Bart Starr.

Not a bad crowd when it comes to famous Packers fans.

So who can the San Francisco 49ers count among their celebrity fans cheering them on Saturday night against the Packers for the NFC divisional game at Lambeau Field? Dirty Harry and the guy who made it hip to be square, for starters.

Huey Lewis

In the ’80s, when the 49ers were racking up Super Bowl wins and Huey Lewis and the News were topping the charts, the two were practically inseparable. Lewis became close friends with several players, particularly wide receiver Dwight Clark and quarterback Joe Montana, flew on the team plane and was invited to team parties. He even tapped Montana, Clark, linebacker Riki Ellison and cornerback/safety Ronnie Lott to sing the “here, there and everywhere” on the 1986 hit “Hip to Be Square."

There’s also a great story recounted in the San Francisco Chronicle in 2019 about how Lewis became the teams’s “good-luck anthem performer” after first performing the national anthem at a 49ers game in 1981. Lewis liked to stay and watch the game from the sidelines, but when then NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue decided to crack down on celebs on the sidelines unless they’re working, the 49ers were fined $10,000 for letting Lewis stay. The commissioner threatened them with a $50,000 fine if it happened again, so when there was a playoff game and Montana, Clark and 49ers owner Eddie DeBartolo wanted Lewis to sing the anthem, the team came up with the idea to get him a photo credential so he could be considered working personnel on the sidelines. Lewis was told he just had to make sure to bring a camera. He did — “a disposable Kodak camera that you buy at a grocery store.”

Jeremy Renner

The Marvel star is such a die-hard 49ers fan that when he had to walk the red carpet for the premiere of “American Hustle” in 2013, he took his iPad along so as not to miss the final minutes of a close game against the Seattle Seahawks. The Modesto native has been a fan since he was 8. He and Sam Elliott narrate “A Tale of Two Cities,” a 2015 NFL Films project about the rivalry between the 49ers and Dallas Cowboys. “The Hurt Locker” and “Hawkeye” actor often hops a 45-minute flight from his homes elsewhere in California to attend games at Levi’s Stadium.

Saweetie

You could say Saweetie was born into 49ers fandom. The Bay Area rap star is the granddaughter of 49ers linebacker Willie Harper, who played for the team from 1973 to 1983. As a little girl, she was dressed in Niners track suits and used to take her grandpa's football card to school to show all the other kids. "Growing up, it always blew my mind that my grandfather was a 49er," she told NBC Sports in 2020. She performed for the after-party of Super Bowl LIV, in which the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the 49ers.

Clint Eastwood

Disclaimer: It could depend on the day or the season. Eastwood’s son, actor/model Scott Eastwood, outed him as a “flip-flopper” in an interview in 2019. “My dad is sort of torn, because he was born in Oakland, so he’s sort of an Oakland and a Niners fan. He’s kind of in between,” Eastwood said on “The Rich Eisen Show.” “I think he’s a little bit of a flip-flopper. I’ve seen him do that.” (Internet biographies of Clint Eastwood indicate he was born in San Francisco but grew up in Piedmont, which is surrounded on all sides by Oakland.) Now that the Raiders have moved to Las Vegas, it's hard to say which way the 91-year-old "Cry Macho" filmmaker leans.

The younger Eastwood, who was born in Monterey and grew up playing football, is unquestionably a 49ers fan. “(Head coach Kyle) Shanahan is just a genius, huh?” he told Eisen.

Rob Schneider

Makin’ copies and makin’ offers. After the 49ers finished the season 2-14 in 2016, “Saturday Night Live’s” former Richmeister tweeted at 49ers CEO Jed York that he would be willing to take the team off his hands. “Dear @JedYork There IS a chance for change at the top! I will put together a consortium of buyers. Please sell me @49ers.” Two days later, the lifelong 49ers fan from San Francisco tweeted that if York sold to his group, their first move would be to make Steve Young the general manager of football operations.

Tyler Rich

The animal-loving country singer has a soft (and furry) spot for Green Bay, but he's a 49ers fan through and through. "I became a 49ers fan when I started breathing, because of my family. I think 'Joe Montana' was probably the first words I ever said, whether my mom agrees or not," the Yuba City native said in the newest episode of the 49ers/Levi's Verified Faithful series profiling famous fans. There's not a day goes by he's not looking up 49ers news.

But ... Rich also has a connection to the other city by the bay. In 2020, while in Green Bay for a show with LANCO at the Meyer Theatre, he visited Happily Ever After's animal adoption center as part of his Rich Rescues initiative. He played a virtual concert from his couch in Los Angeles later the same year as part of the shelter's fundraiser. In December, he and his wife, actress Sabina Gadecki Rich, who have a 16-year-old husky named Abby, adopted a husky mix puppy from HEA. They call him Yukon, which sure sounds like a frozen tundra name.

Marissa Miller

The Sports Illustrated and Victoria’s Secret supermodel grew up in Santa Cruz in the '80s watching the 49ers with her dad. It was their bonding time together.

“My biggest memory as a football fan was the Super Bowl in ‘89 against the Cincinnati Bengals,” she told the NFL in a 2013 interview. “We were at this restaurant in Santa Cruz called The Crow’s Nest. I think I was 10 or 11 years old and I remember just everybody going nuts. It was the first time I saw adults act like children. It was such a huge moment. John Taylor’s catch, that was one of the best memories ever.”

Andy Samberg

“Brooklyn Nine-Nine” isn’t the “Saturday Night Live” alum’s only connection to the number nine. Born in Berkeley, he’s also a big 49ers fan. When his team lost to the Seahawks in the 2014 NFC championship game, Samberg went off on a G-rated rant during an appearance on the “Late Show with David Letterman.” He told Letterman he would be cheering for the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII and that the Seahawks could “get bent,” “go to h,” “eat soup” and “chop wood.”

Bayley

The WWE star didn't insist her ring name be spelled the way it is for no reason. She grew up a tomboy on the south side of San Jose and was turned on to sports by her dad, who bought her a satin 49ers jacket from Goodwill as a kid. Her favorite player is tight end George Kittle, who also happens to be a big WWE fan.
