Hollywood star and Arrested Development actor reveals his support for Cardiff City
The actor was in Cardiff shooting a new live action comedy with Orange is the New Black star Natasha Lyonne.

He is best known for starring in Bojack Horseman, Arrested Development, and 30 Rock, and as the voice of Lego Batman, but now a Hollywood actor has revealed his support for Cardiff City.

Will Arnett is in the Welsh capital filming a new live action comedy Show Dogs , and took some time away from the set to take in some football.


Arnett, 46, was at Cardiff City Stadium on Tuesday night for the match against Wolves and tweeted his pleasure in seeing Neil Warnock's side come from behind to win.

"Big comeback win for Cardiff City tonight," he tweeted.

Trailing 1-0 at the break, goals from Matthew Connolly and Anthony Pilkington gave Cardiff a vital 2-1 win. in the Championship.

Arnett was seen filming alongside Show Dogs co-star Natasha Lyonne on Bute Street in Cardiff Bay earlier on Tuesday, with some buildings being transformed into a New York Police station.

Cardiff City are no strangers to famous fans, with Wales and Lions legend Gareth Thomas often doing the 'Ayatollah' after scoring a try.

While Arnett's support of Cardiff City may seem a little bizarre, it pales in comparison to some of the weirder Hollywood star and British football club combinations.

Sylvester Stalone has attended Everton matches, while Mike Tyson was pictured in a Peterborough United kit in 2014.
