Gillan, who starred in “Guardians of the Galaxy” and the “Jumanji” reboot, made the most of potentially getting on the wrong bus after the Group C clash, even chanting with the opposing team’s supporters.
“I think we’re on the wrong bus,” Gillan joked in an Instagram Story video, which showed Brazil fans cheering after the team’s shutout win. “But we love you Brazil.”
