Hugh Jackman Aims to Buy Into Soccer Club Norwich that’s a Division Rival of Ryan Reynolds’ Wrexham
- Actor Hugh Jackman, 57, revealed he is "very interested" in investing in Norwich City, describing the club as an exciting team while discussing a potential stake in the English football side.
- Inspired by Wrexham AFC co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, Jackman noted his mother is from Norwich, Norfolk, and he has visited Carrow Road on several occasions.
- American billionaire Mark Attanasio holds majority control of Norwich, having bought into the club in 2022 and gradually built up his stake before taking full control in August 2024.
- Joking that he could soon be rivals with Reynolds in the Championship, Jackman predicted both Norwich and Wrexham will be promoted, quipping: "Good on Ryan, you do your thing. I think it's an exciting team."
- This move follows a broader trend of celebrity football investment, joining NFL legend Tom Brady at Birmingham City and other stars including Will Ferrell, Michael B. Jordan, and Ed Sheeran at their respective clubs.
