Hugh Jackman in talks to buy stake in Norwich football club
The Australian actor is good friends with Wrexham co-owner Ryan Reynolds and said they could soon be rivals in the Championship.
Australian actor Hugh Jackman is reportedly in discussions to acquire a stake in English football club Norwich City. Jackman, whose mother hails from the city, is reportedly close friends with fellow co-owner Ryan Reynolds. The 57-year-old star told Talksport that he is "very, very interested" in investing and sees Norwich as a potential promotion to the Premier League this season.
Jackman's prediction is based on the teams' strong performances, having won only one of their four matches so far. Wrexham, another club owned by Reynolds, has risen through the ranks, moving from the National League to the Championship in three consecutive promotions. Jackman previously declined an investment opportunity in Norwich in 2010, but now sees potential in the club's future. The majority shareholder in Norwich City is American billionaire Mark Attanasio.
