Hollywood A-lister Will Ferrell is reportedly the latest celebrity to dive into the world of English football, having purchased a "large stake" in Leeds United. Ferrell, a frequent attendee at football matches in the UK, has reportedly developed a keen affection for Leeds, embracing both fandom and business interests with the club. Following the trend set by actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, who have notably uplifted Wrexham AFC since taking over the North Wales team in 2020, Ferrell joins the ranks of Hollywood stars making their mark on English football. Ferrell has been a visitor to Wrexham's Racecourse ground as a guest of Reynolds, and is believed to have talked through getting involved in English football with his Hollywood friend. Ferrell supports Major League Soccer team Los Angeles FC and previously said he did not support any particular club in England, but admitted he was fascinated by the Premier League and its storylines.
