In an interview with Laura Kuenssberg on her Sunday show, Hugh Jackman joked he would try out for one of Wrexham's rival teams"to stick it to Ryan Reynolds". The Wolverine star said various clubs offered him a seat on the board after Ryan Reynolds became a co-owner of Wrexham AFC alongside fellow actor Rob McElhenney.
Jackman said:"I will admit to you that when Ryan bought that team, I did get more than one offer from rivals to that team for £1 to come in as a co-owner and it did seriously tempt me."I think if I really want to stick it to Ryan Reynolds... I think it would be best if I was heading in the winner."Wrexham have been on a remarkable journey under their Hollywood honchos, and no doubt other teams are keen to bag themselves a superstar owner.
Despite Kuenssberg's probing, Jackman remained tight-lipped about the teams that offered him a share.
