The world’s biggest celebrities often gather at the Super Bowl. On Sunday, Roger Federer was one of the global icons in attendance for the Seattle Seahawks’ win against the New England Patriots.

This was not the first time the ATP No. 1 Club member has been at the biggest NFL game of the year. Federer also attended the Super Bowl while he was the No. 1 player in the PIF ATP Rankings in 2008.

“I was at the Super Bowl in ’08 in Arizona when Tom Brady was going for the perfect season and then we had the catch, I remember, on the helmet, from the Giants to win the game that Eli Manning passed,” Federer said in a social media interview with the NFL. “So that was my favourite memory obviously of being in the stadium.”

Other celebrities in attendance include Bon Jovi, Chris Pratt, Justin Bieber, Kendall Jenner, Lewis Hamilton and Kim Kardashian. Bad Bunny headlined the halftime show.

Before the game, Federer was asked which Super Bowl halftime show has been his favourite.

“From YouTube, everything I saw, [it] was Michael Jackson, the moment when he comes and he shows up, that was awesome. Then I liked Eminem and 50 Cent and Dr. Dre,” Federer said. “That’s music I also grew up with.”
