Reese Witherspoon has admitted that she has an interest in making an investment in Arsenal, with the Hollywood actress a fan of the club and amid a growing trend of big names investing in English football.
The star of the Legally Blonde franchise has expressed her love of the Gunners, a passion she shares with her son, and has admitted that her family would be happy if she chose to invest in the club. There is a growing trend of big names investing in football, with Will Ferrell and Matthew McConaughey setting a trend for Hollywood stars investing following their work in the MLS.
This has spread across the pond, with 'Creed' star Michael B Jordan being part of a consortium which has recently purchased Bournemouth. Meanwhile, the most high-profile club ownership in the UK from a big name from the USA is 'Deadpool' star Ryan Reynolds taking over Wrexham alongside 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' writer and actor Rob McElhenney.
