Money Heist: All the celebrity fans of the Netflix show

Money Heist debuted on Spanish network Antena 3 in May 2017. But it is only after Netflix's acquisition that the series became a global phenomenon. The crime drama is currently among the most viewed shows on the streaming giant. And if you thought its fan base is limited to the general public, you are wrong. The popular show has amassed celebrity fans too. From actors to sportspersons, here's a list of celebrities who've opened up about their love for Money Heist. (Photo: Netflix)

Ayushmann Khurrana
Days after Netflix released the fourth season of Money Heist in April this year, Bollywood actor Ayushmann Khurrana posted a video on his Instagram handle, where he is playing the show's theme song "Bella Ciao" on piano. Expressing his eagerness to play the fan favourite character of The Professor, Ayushmann captioned the video as, "I want to be the professor. That’s why I’m wearing similar glasses and playing Bella Ciao. I want to put this out in the universe. Hello reverent filmmakers, are you listening? Please! I’m dying to do something like this. I’m itching to go on sets and work, like each and every human on this planet. We all want to go out and work. But patience is a virtue they say. Till then Bella Ciao.#MoneyHeist" (Photo: Ayushmann Khurrana/Instagram)

The Naagin actor's love for the show reflected in one of her social media posts, where she shared a montage of shots of actor Najwa Nimri who plays Alicia Sierra in Money Heist. Just that the original dialogues were replaced with Komolika's intro scene from Kasautii Zindagii Kay. We can only guess if Hina wishes to play Alicia in the Indian version.
