(2 Feb 2014) CELEBS READY TO FACE OFF IN DIRECTV BEACH BOWL
Ahead of Sunday's Super Bowl game, some popular stars played against each other in a beach football game in New York Saturday (1 FEB. 2014.)
Aaron Paul, Chase Crawford, James Marsden and newlyweds John Legend and Chrissy Teigen were just a few of the famous faces taking part.
The game includes both celebs and real NFL players. It's free and open to the public. The band Paramore also performed a concert afterward for fans.
Actors Michael B. Jordan and Scott Porter played high school football players in the critically acclaimed TV series "Friday Night Lights." They each joked that they would channel their respective characters from the show into the game.
"I know that Jimmy Marsden was working on a motivational speech a la Matthew McConaughey in 'We Are Marshall' for the other team so I've got to pull my best Kyle Chandler out for our squad," said Porter.
" If I get a touchdown I'm talking… stuff," joked Jordan. "Yeah, for sure. I think after I touchdown things get a little looser. A 'Clear Eyes Full Hearts' definitely comin' out of my mouth for sure. Has to."
Actress Gillian Jacobs of the TV comedy "Community" said she had just gotten in a few hours before so she had little time to prepare for the game.
"Well, I took a red eye. I actually landed in New York at 5am so I just tried to sleep a little bit so that I would be able to stand upright today so I'm going on like 4 hours of sleep right now so if fall asleep in the middle of the game you'll understand why."
Actor Zachary Levi joked that he would use video editing skills to make himself look better on TV.
"I have FinalCut so I will be editing all of my performances. Putting a little Photoshop in there. Huge catches. I don't know. We'll see. I think the nation is about to realize that I'm not very good at playing football. Or, that I am amazing."
This is the eighth year for the DirecTV Celebrity Beach Bowl.
