Sloth was an NFL player

Who would have guessed Sloth was a sports star!

John Matuszak - who played the child-like character - was an NFL defensive lineman who played for the Oakland Raiders until 1981, explaining why he wore the team’s shirt in the movie.

The director also snuck in another Easter egg with Sloth’s outfit, as the character can also be seen sporting a shirt with a familiar ’S’ logo, as a cheeky nod to director Richard Donner’s 1978 film ‘Superman’.
