Jason Sudeikis goes wild courtside at LA Clippers match as he gears up to film new season of Ted Lᴀsso

Jason Sudeikis goes wild courtside at LA Clippers match as he gears up to film new season of Ted Lᴀsso

He famously sprinted up and down the touchline as hapless football manager Ted Lᴀsso in the award-winning Apple TV series.

But Jason Sudeikis showed that his real sporting love lies elsewhere as he went wild courtside at the Intuit Dome while watching Los Angeles Clippers play on Wednesday night.

The actor, 49, was joined by an equally elated Steve Ballmer, who owns the basketball side and saw them beat Memphis Grizzlies 128-114.

Jason sported a pair of olive chinos as he applauded the team’s fine performance, pairing the item with a navy cardigan over a blue shirt.

The former Saturday Night Live star completed the look with a white and blue panelled baseball cap from the benefit concert Thundergong!, some bright blue socks, a pair of white trainers and some circular reading glᴀsses.

At one point, he flashed a peace sign to the crowd as he enjoyed a fun evening of sport.

Basketball icon Scottie Pippen was also present at the match wearing a black and teal Nike bomber jacket over a navy shirt.

Apple TV writer Sigmund Judge told the Magic Rays of Light podcast this month that filming for the fourth season of Ted Lᴀsso was set to commence in the next few months.

He said: ‘London filming for Ted Lᴀsso S4 is now set to begin in May/June with focus shifting at AFC Richmond to the formation of its women’s team.’

Jason’s appearance courtside comes after his ex Olivia Wilde, 40, enjoyed a basketball game too last week, taking in an LA Lakers fixture at the Crypto.com Arena with new man Dane DiLiegro, 36. 

The House star looked animated throughout the evening and at one point raised her hands in the air before putting them over her face in shock as the Lakers beat Golden State Warriors 120-112. 

Olivia and Dane’s appearance at the big game comes after insiders told MailOnline that she had ‘finally moved on from her breakup’ with the British singer Harry Styles, 30, after taking time off from dating to ‘focus on herself and her family’. 

‘After the Harry breakup, she really took time off dating and away from the spotlight to focus on herself and her family,’ they said. ‘She got way too caught up in that and their relationship became a public spectacle.’

Moving forward, the Don’t Worry Darling star is reportedly determined not to ‘make this mistake ever again’.

Her split from Harry came after the end of her nine-year relationship with Jason which also ‘took a toll on her and was even more difficult because there were children involved’.

‘She keeps her private life and her love life private because she knows that this is the only way something will last,’ the source said. 

The former couple, who dated from 2011 to 2020, share son Otis, 10, and daughter Daisy, eight. 

The pair have remained amicable upon their split to co-parent their children who they shield from the public eye and they were even spotted casually out together in Los Angeles this month.
