Will Ferrell is the latest celebrity looking to follow in Ryan Reynolds’ footsteps.
BBC Radio Leeds reported that the 56-year-old actor and comedian will join the list of celebrity investors in Championship club Leeds United. Ferrell is set to purchase a minor stake and will not be a decision maker at Elland Road, according to the report.
Fellow Hollywood star Russell Crowe and U.S. golfers Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas already have stakes in the club.
This is the second soccer club the former Saturday Night Live and Anchorman star has invested in, with Ferrell already being part-owner of MLS team Los Angeles FC.
Leeds finished third in the Championship — English soccer’s second tier — and will now play a two-leg playoff series against Norwich City, with the first match kicking off on Sunday, May 12. The winner advances to another playoff for promotion to the Premier League.
