One of the funniest men in Hollywood has a soft spot for the famous Edinburgh Hibees!

In his live webchat with The Sun newspaper yesterday someone asked him if he was a Chelsea fan.

He confirmed and went on to say.......

I also like Crystal Palace, Aston Villa and Bradford City. And don't forget Hibernian.

So there we go, another famous fan to add to the ranks.

It's on page 4 on the webchat runthrough. About 2/3 of the way down.

The guy who writes the column is a Hibby so would have told him to say that.

He's a fan of Andy Murray, so that could have something to do with it!

Brian Blessed is a big Hibby too. Used to watch us quite a bit in the seventies when he was up in tge festival. John Nettles was the same.

I'm sure it is, he & Andy Murray are fans of each other & have met up on several occasions. Mind you I'm sure Mr Smart was also involved!!

Emphasis on big. I reckon we should get him doing the PA announcements on a matchday, with possible Hawkman-related entertainment at half time.

The chairman could save on electricity for the PA if they did. ;)

And that's before considering the cost of fake tan if the hawkman idea is to get off the ground.
