  "account": "Hollywood actor Hugh Jackman is reportedly in talks to invest in Norwich City Football Club, potentially setting up a rivalry with fellow A-lister Ryan Reynolds, co-owner of Wrexham City. The Australian star, whose mother is originally from Norwich, expressed his keen interest in English football and predicted that both Norwich and Wrexham would be promoted to the Premier League this season, despite their 1-1 record in their first four matches. Jackman, 57, previously turned down an investment opportunity in Norwich in 2010. Currently, American billionaire Mark Attanasio holds the majority stake in Norwich City, based in the east of England.",
  "summary": "The Australian actor is good friends with Wrexham co-owner Ryan Reynolds and said they could soon be rivals in the Championship.",
