BBC commentator confuses Pharrell with A$AP Rocky at World Cup Final 2026

From blurred lines to blurred vision.

BBC commentator Guy Mowbray mistook Pharrell for his fellow rapper A$AP Rocky at the World Cup Final 2026 on Sunday.

In the viral clip, the camera panned to the “Happy” emcee, who was sitting in a VIP suite with his wife, Helen Lasichanh, watching Spain take on Argentina inside MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

“I think that’s AKA Rocky or A$AP Rocky. Sorry,” Mowbray, 54, said on air.

A$AP, born Rakim Mayers, was also present at the match, sitting with his partner, Rihanna, only a row in front of Pharrell, 53, and his wife.

Rapper Future and New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson were also in the same suite.

Elsewhere during the World Cup Final, sports announcer John Strong mistook Matt Damon for Brad Pitt while announcing celebrity guests at the match.

“Brad Pitt among the fans here,” the Fox broadcaster, 41, said before fellow announcer Stu Holden corrected him.

“That’s Matt Damon,” Holden interjected before the men laughed about Strong’s on-air blunder.

As the cameras panned to other stars, Strong told his colleague he would let him take over to avoid another mistake.

“I’m letting you take the rest of these guys,” he said. “I got cocky after the first three, and I missed an absolute sitter so I’m done.”

The “Odyssey” actor, 55, attended the game with his wife, Luciana Barroso.

Other celebrities who attended the game Sunday include Blake Lively, Jay-Z and Beyoncé, David and Victoria Beckham, Kylie Jenner and her boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet, Alix Earle, Dwyane Wade & Gabrielle Union and many more.

The lackluster halftime show featured performances by Shakira, Madonna, Burna Boy, Justin Bieber and BTS.

Spain defeated Argentina 1-0 to take home the gold trophy.
