Wrexham has become a global sensation since Hollywood celebrities Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds took over the club in a £2 million deal in 2021. The duo’s involvement has sparked interest in celebrity ownership in football, with potential investors like Hugh Jackman considering similar moves. Jackman revealed he was offered the chance to invest in rival clubs for just £1 after McElhenney and Reynolds’ takeover, but ultimately decided against it. However, other celebrities such as NFL stars Tom Brady and J.J. Watt, rapper A$AP Rocky, and former Premier League manager Billy Davies are jumping on the celebrity ownership trend. The success of ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ and the team’s on-field performance, with two straight promotions and a strong position in League One, have inspired other celebrities to consider investing in football clubs. With the rise of celebrity involvement in sports, Wrexham’s story may just be the beginning of a new trend in football ownership.
