Juliette Binoche, big Munster fan apparently

Every sporting team has its celebrity supporters and they don’t much bigger than Hollywood starlet and huge Munster fan, Juliette Binoche.

We had no idea that Binoche was a big rugby fan, but it would appear as she has a soft spot for the men of Munster after she was spotted in The Irish Independent wearing an oversized jacket bearing the provincial crest while filming in Dublin recently.

Sceptics would say, particularly given the size of the jacket, that she was merely borrowing the coat in an effort to keep her warm amidst the cold snap gripping the country of late, but we prefer to think that Binoche likes to proudly display the Munster colours any chance she gets and that it goes with her wherever she happens to be filming around the world.

Juliette will be in Ireland for the next month or so filming 'A Thousand Times Good Night’ about a female war photographer torn between her job and her family and if she can find the time, she might even pop down to Musgrave Park to catch her beloved Munster in Rabo12 action or to Thomond to take in the Heineken Cup clash with Saracens on 8 December.

Binoche is believed to be staying in the Dublin area so it might be handier for her to go along to the November internationals because given her allegiances; we imagine she wouldn’t be seen dead at a Leinster game.
