Aaron Rodgers’ appearance at the 2023 Tony Awards has fans talking!

The NFL star, 39, caused quite the reaction on social media after his surprising attendance at the 76th annual award show celebrating Broadway's stars on Sunday night. Rodgers arrived with his New York Jets teammate C.J. Uzomah.

The quarterback was sleekly dressed in a bronze Mikado silk double-breasted tuxedo with a silk satin shirt. He finished the look with a crown brooch embellished with quartzes and diamonds, and a pair of patent derby shoes.

Tight end Uzomah, 30, wore a classic black tuxedo for the event, at which he posed alongside Rodgers on the red carpet ahead of the ceremony.

A hilarious shot of Rodgers in the audience — which has since become a meme — was discussed among fans on Twitter as they tried to work out the reason for the athlete’s expression.

“The way Aaron Rodgers looks at the Tonys ... is the exact way I picture him looking at the Tonys,” one viewer wrote.

“Aaron Rodgers looks either mystified or like he’s having a revelation,” a second said. “You be the judge but welcome to NY. I feel like this is the baptism the new QB of a NYC area team needs. If he can handle this … he’s good.”

"Aaron Rodgers looks like he just spotted a member of his family at the Tonys," a third user wrote, while someone else asked, “Are my eyes messed up, or is that Aaron Rodgers at the Tonys???"

"Aaron Rodgers at The Tonys is like Nathan Lane at The ESPYS #Tonys," read one particularly hilarious post.

This year’s Tony Awards saw several other celebrities in attendance, including Jessica Chastain, Samuel L. Jackson, Julianne Hough, Lea Michele, Uzo Aduba, Ben Platt and Jodie Comer, as West Side Story star and Oscar winner Ariana DeBose returned to host.
