Real Reason Actor Kevin James Looked Heartbroken During Super Bowl LX

Actor Kevin James went viral at Super Bowl LX for seemingly being stood up and watching the huge event on his own. But there was a good reason for his lonely situation – it was a major publicity stunt.

James, who is well known for comedy roles in The King of Queens, Grown Ups and Paul Blart: Mall Cop, was spotted in the stands at the Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, sitting alone, wearing a suit and tie and holding a bunch of flowers, with no one around him, while other supporters watched the match.

The Seattle Seahawks would go on to win the match against the New England Patriots 29-13 with a defensive masterclass to claim their second Super Bowl title.

But while the football may not have been the spectacle many fans would have hoped for, James managed to cause quite the stir in the stands with his stunt.

A number of fans took to social media to question what he was doing there, why he had flowers and opining that he had been stood up – despite the fact he has been married for more than 20 years.

Kevin James Tears Were Part Of a Major Publicity Stunt

One person tweeted: “Kevin was holding flowers in his hand and was clearly being stood up for his date for the big game. Rough life.”

A TikTok video of the actor sat there, with the caption ‘Spotted at Super Bowl is that Kevin James? Why is he sitting by himself??’

And it has been revealed that the actor was living up to his profession, by acting a part to publicise his new movie call Solo Mio.

James was at the Super Bowl in character as Matt Taylor – who is a soft-spoken art teacher persona popular on TikTok and Instagram. The character of the same name is James’ lead character in new romantic comedy Solo Mio, the movie poster for which also depicts James holding a bouquet of flowers on a park bench alone.

James Was Not The Only Making Headlines Off The Pitch

James, as Taylor, continued in character on Tiktok after the Super Bowl had finished, posting an ’emotional’ video about being stood up for the main event.

Through tears, he said: “Hey guys, Mr Taylor here, it’s been about eight hours and she hasn’t come back yet and man it feels like your insides just get ripped out, you know? I kept waiting for her to walk back in the church door and it’s not happening and I don’t know, I gotta go, I love you guys.”

Solo Mio came out in cinemas in the US on February 6.

James was not the only one to make headlines away from the pitch at the Super Bowl, with US president Donald Trump criticising Bad Bunny’s half-time show and a streaker interrupting the game.
