Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman have taken their off-screen camaraderie to new heights by officially becoming co-owners of SailGP\u2019s Australia team, adding a surprising and exciting chapter to their long-standing friendship. The news was confirmed through a humorous and cheeky joint statement that perfectly reflected the duo\u2019s playful dynamic. Jackman, a proud Australian and avid sailing enthusiast, brings a patriotic touch to the venture, while Reynolds, ever the witty partner-in-crime, joins him as what they hilariously described as his \u201coverly clingy emotional support human.\u201d Their statement, delivered with trademark banter, included a light-hearted apology to Australia and an ambiguous joke about whether they were writing the statement in their BONDS\u2014the iconic Australian underwear brand, now the team\u2019s first-ever title sponsor.<\/p>\n
This new collaboration with the SailGP Champions team positions both actors not only as celebrity investors but also as cultural ambassadors injecting humor and high energy into the sport. Team CEO Tom Slingsby expressed his enthusiasm over the partnership, noting the significant milestone it represents. He highlighted how the involvement of global icons like Jackman and Reynolds will amplify the sport\u2019s reach, thanks to their flair for storytelling and their unparalleled charisma. Their entry into the sport is expected to elevate its appeal, not just in Australia but worldwide, by drawing new audiences into the competitive world of sailing.<\/p>\n
This investment also marks yet another sports ownership milestone for Reynolds, who has previously demonstrated a keen interest in sports ventures through his ownership of Wrexham AFC in Wales and Club Necaxa in Mexico. With the success and public enthusiasm surrounding Wrexham\u2019s recent rise in prominence, many fans are curious to see if Reynolds and Jackman\u2019s involvement in SailGP could mirror that same cultural impact.<\/p>\n
However, Reynolds\u2019 new professional endeavor arrives at a time when his personal life has been drawing media attention. His wife, Blake Lively, is currently facing an ongoing legal dispute with her It Ends With Us<\/em> co-star Justin Baldoni, adding a layer of intrigue and pressure to the timing of this announcement. Nevertheless, Reynolds appears unfazed as he steps confidently into this new role alongside Jackman, blending their global stardom with their mutual love for fun, sports, and meaningful ventures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman have taken their off-screen camaraderie to new heights by officially becoming co-owners of SailGP\u2019s Australia\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":79313,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[945,245],"class_list":["post-79312","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebrity-news","tag-hugh-jackman","tag-ryan-reynolds"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79312","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=79312"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79312\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/79313"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=79312"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=79312"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=79312"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
