11. Russell Crowe – Michigan

Russell Crowe probably doesn’t immediately jump to mind when you think of celebrity fans who would root for the Maize and Blue. But, the star of Gladiator, A Beautiful Mind and L.A. Confidential is a fan after striking up a friendship with former Michigan head coach Lloyd Carr.

He spoke to the team prior to the game with Notre Dame in 2007 and joined Carr for the post-game interview. No word on whether Crowe is a big fan of Jim Harbaugh or not, but I like to think, the two will soon become best friends.

Could you imagine Harbaugh playing Gladiator to get the Wolverines pumped up for their rivalry game against Ohio State and Crowe surprises the team and comes out in full Gladiator regalia? Now, that would be a video that goes viral in about .2 seconds.

That may seem like a longshot, but a guy can dream, right?
