Hollywood actor Hugh Jackman has revealed he was offered the opportunity to take on ownership of a non-league football club for as little as £1, after his friend Ryan Reynolds became owner of Wrexham.
Reynolds and co-owner Rob McElhenney completed their takeover of Wrexham in 2021, and have the National League side pushing for promotion this season after narrowly missing out last term. The team was also within minutes of a place in the fifth round of the FA Cup before eventually losing a replay to Championship high-flyers Sheffield United.
Jackman and Reynolds have been known to engage in back-and-forths on social media, and the pair have a friendship going back years. Despite having more than one offer, though, the Australian actor opted to leave football investment to others.
