Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman's Hilarious SailGP Promotion Video Goes Viral
Ryan Reynolds, a Vancouver native, teams up with his friend Hugh Jackman in a humorous video promoting the SailGP sailing league. In the video, Reynolds, in his Deadpool persona, jokes about old sailing superstitions from the Nautical Almanac of 1902, including a rule about not having red-haired individuals on board a vessel. The video was released ahead of the ENEL Rio Sail Grand Prix in Brazil, where the Bonds Flying Roos, co-owned by Reynolds and Jackman, are currently in second place in the league standings.
SailGP, founded in 2019 by Larry Ellison and Russell Coutts, is an international sailing championship featuring high-performance F50 foiling catamarans. The league's races take place near the shore, with boats reaching speeds of up to 100 km/h. The Bonds Flying Roos are part of Reynolds' sports franchise portfolio, which also includes ownership in Wrexham AFC, Club Necaxa, La Equidad, and the Alpine Formula One team.
The partnership between Reynolds and Jackman as co-owners of the team was announced last June, bringing their star power to the world of competitive sailing. With their team's success in the league and their shared passion for sports ownership, Reynolds continues to expand his presence in the sports industry.
