Daniel Radcliffe, a diehard New York Giants fan, is hopping on the Los Angeles Rams bandwagon for Super Bowl LIII.

The "Harry Potter" actor threw his support behind the Rams on Buzzfeed News' morning show "AM to DM" on Thursday, likening the New England Patriots to the dominant Manchester United club of the 1990s.

"I would like to say there is another reason I'm rooting for the Rams, which is just that the New England Patriots now are sort of equivalent to Manchester United, the football team in England, in the '90s where it's just like, you've been too good for too long," Radcliffe said.

Radcliffe seemingly isn't alone in his thinking. A Twitter map released earlier in the week shows most of the United States will be rooting for the Rams on Sunday.
