Hollywood Star Hugh Jackman Eyes Stake in Norwich City FC
Actor Hugh Jackman has confirmed he is in discussions to purchase a stake in the English Championship club Norwich City.
According to a report by Khaosod Online Thailand, Hollywood actor Hugh Jackman is exploring a potential entry into professional football ownership. The 57-year-old star, who has British parents, revealed he is currently in negotiations to acquire a stake in Norwich City, a club competing in the English Championship.
Jackman’s connection to the club is personal, as his mother is a native of Norwich. The actor also cited his friendship with Ryan Reynolds—a co-owner of Wrexham AFC—as a source of inspiration for his interest in the sport. Speaking to talkSPORT, Jackman expressed his enthusiasm for the 'Canaries,' stating, 'I am very interested in buying a stake in Norwich and am currently talking about it.' He further shared his optimism for the team's performance, predicting a promotion for the club this season.
For residents and travelers interested in English football, this development highlights the growing trend of high-profile international figures investing in lower-tier English clubs. While Jackman has publicly confirmed that discussions are underway, the finalization of any deal remains to be seen. Fans and observers will need to wait for further official announcements from the club or the actor regarding the status of these negotiations.
