Diego Maradona had this very famous Hollywood actor as a fan

It is not a secret that Diego Maradona had fans all around the world. But one of the biggest actors in Hollywood confessed for the first time how he admired the Argentinian soccer star. In an interview for an Argentinian website, he was asked about Diego and only had words of love for him.

This actor was George Clooney, no more, no less. Clooney said Maradona was attacker in the sport and in the life, and that is why he adored him so much. It was sad for him to hear the news about his passing, because he was still very young. Maradona was just some months older than the actor, but they never met in person.

The Hollywood star also told he knew about the issues Maradona had during and after his soccer career that followed him for the most part of his adult life, but his resilience made him become a big fan of his. More specifically, addictions to drugs and alcohol that deteriorated his health until the end.
