The Oscar winner, 44, laughed off his style choice with a big grin during an interview with CSN Houston’s Julia Morales. He attended the game with his 6-year-old son Levi, and topped off his retro bag with a white T-shirt, khaki pants, a baseball cap and sunglasses.

“I’m not afraid of the fanny pack. You gotta kinda put it on the side to make it look a little not as nerdy, but still, practicality wins out,” the Dallas Buyers Club actor said. “I got so much gear in here that I don’t want in my pockets.”
