Jackman vs Reynolds? Hollywood star confirms Norwich talks as Wrexham rivalry looms

Australian actor Hugh Jackman is reportedly in discussions to acquire a stake in Norwich, potentially setting him on a path to rival fellow Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds in English football's second tier. Jackman, a long-time friend of Wrexham co-owner Reynolds, made the revelation during a recent interview with Talksport. The 57-year-old, whose mother hails from Norwich, expressed his enthusiasm for the club, stating, "I’m very, very interested — and talking about it right now."

Wrexham, owned by Reynolds alongside actor Rob McElhenney, has climbed from the National League to the Championship through three successive promotions since the 2022/23 season. Despite both teams having recorded just one victory in their first four matches of the season, Jackman predicts that Norwich and Wrexham will secure Premier League promotions this year.
