Miles Tellerhas nothing but faith in his hometown team to bring home a win at the2025 Super Bowl LIX.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE about his new filmThe Gorgeon Friday, Feb. 7, Teller, 37, raved about the Philadelphia Eagles — and shared that he had no doubt in his mind thatJalen Hurts,Saquon Barkleyand the rest of the team are going to beat the Kansas City Chiefs.

Teller also said that unlikelast year’s Super Bowl— when he and several celebrity friends woreChiefs-red to supportTravis Kelceand the team’s #1 cheerleaderTaylor Swift— he will be wearing Eagles-green.
“We will be there,” he adds to PEOPLE. “Thankfully, when I was at the Chiefs last Super Bowl, they weren’t playing the Eagles, so I’m going to be in a sea of green. That’s where I’ll be.”
Teller has never kept his love for the Philadelphia team a secret, as theTop Gun: Maverickstar is from Downington, Penn. and a passionate Eagles fan. The actor’s wife (who wed Teller in 2019) is close friends with Swift, 35, but when the Eagles and Chiefs face off in the big game, Sperry will be cheering against the popstar’s boyfriend and his teammates.
“She might be a Southern California girl, but you marry into Philadelphia sports and that is it,” he teases.
