Life imitates art! Jason Sudeikis and Brendan Hunt channel their Ted Lasso characters as they watch Chelsea triumph over AC Milan alongside Naomi Campbell

They play the manager and assistant coach of the fictional AFC Richmond football team in Ted Lasso.

And Jason Sudeikis and Brendan Hunt appeared to be in the middle of the award-winning comedy scene as they stood in the stands to watch Chelsea vs AC Milan on Wednesday at Stamford Bridge.

The lead actor, 47, and the show’s co-creator, 50, were joined by model Naomi Campbell, 52, and Chelsea owner Todd Boehly as they cheered on the players.

Both men wore padded coats to keep out the cold, paired with dark jeans and sweaters.

Jason, who plays the titular Ted Lasso, also sported his character’s famous mustache and a flat cap.

Brendan also wore a flat cap, very similar to the one often worn by his Coach Bear character on the show.

Naomi looked as glamorous as ever in a black jacket with a trendy pair of white sunglasses perched on her head.

In the league match, Chelsea were leading at half-time, but it was within 45 seconds that they took the game away from AC Milan with two goals in six minutes.

Both were finished smartly, with a boldness that has often been lacking at Chelsea in recent seasons.

It was Chelsea’s best performance of the season, probably their best since winning against Real Madrid – although they lost the tie.

They won the long-awaited game 3-0 at Stamford Bridge and will face AC Milan again next week.

The three goals were scored by Wesley Fofana, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Reece James.

Ted Lasso tells the story of an American college football coach who is hired to coach an English football team in an attempt by its landlord to antagonize her ex-husband.

Lasso tries to win over the skeptical English market with his folksy, upbeat attitude while coping with his inexperience in the sport.
