Hollywood actor Hugh Jackman says he is in talks to buy a stake in Norwich City, raising the possibility of a future involvement in English football. Multiple outlets report that Jackman made the comments publicly when asked about whether he could become involved in the sport.

Several reports link the move to Ryan Reynolds, co-owner of Wrexham. Outlets say Jackman is close to Reynolds and jokes or suggests that the two could become rivals if both were involved in clubs competing in the English league system. Coverage also notes Jackman’s personal connection to Norwich, including that he is a Norwich supporter through his family.

While all sources agree on the core point—Jackman is discussing a stake in Norwich—the emphasis differs. Some stories focus on the potential “Championship rivalry” framing with Reynolds’ Wrexham, while others focus more directly on Jackman’s confirmation and his fan ties to Norwich. None of the reports indicate that a deal has been finalized.
