Video: Why celebrities were at the 49ers game Sunday night

Some unexpected celebrities turned up at Levi’s Stadium Sunday night for the Bears-49ers thriller. They included Marvel actors Andrew Garfield (Spiderman) and Simu Liu (Shang-Chi), as well as U.S. gold medalist Simone Biles.

Liu was at the prime-time broadcast promoting his new Peacock series The Copenhagen Test, and Biles was in attendance as an “NFL photographer” and to support her husband, Bears safety Jonathan Owens. But what about Garfield? The actor, who grew up in England, is reportedly an Arsenal FC, not Sourdough Sam, fan.

Turns out Garfield came to the game with girlfriend actress Monica Barbaro (A Complete Unknown) and her family who are from San Francisco and die-hard Niners fans. So Barbaro, who has been dating Garfield for the past several months, made sure he blended in well with the Faithful.

And 49ers fans, new and old, did not leave the stadium disappointed watching their team pull out a nail-biter in the waning moments 38-42.
