"Hollywood A-lister Will Ferrell is reportedly set to be announced as a shareholder in Leeds United in the coming days, having acquired a "large stake" in the Elland Road club."

It's clear that Hollywood A-lister Will Ferrell has a deep interest in the Premier League and English football. The Anchorman, Elf, and Step Brothers star, who is reportedly acquiring a "significant stake" in Leeds United, has been a regular at matches in England in recent years.

Ferrell was seen sharing laughs with Wrexham co-owner Ryan Reynolds and former England player David Beckham during the FA Trophy Final between Bromley and Wrexham at Wembley in May 2022. He's also made appearances at Soccer Aid.

As a co-owner of Los Angeles FC in Major League Soccer, Ferrell is close friends with Wrexham's owners Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. He even featured in their popular documentary 'Welcome to Wrexham' in 2023.

Ferrell made an entertaining appearance on Sky Sports last year, where he spoke about his love for football ahead of Manchester City's game against Aston Villa. Despite rumours, he denied supporting Chelsea.

News broke overnight that Ferrell has purchased a substantial stake in Leeds United as they prepare for the play-offs. The Whites are just three games away from a potential return to the Premier League.

The Anchorman, Elf, and Step Brothers star is set to become a shareholder at Elland Road in the coming days, according to The Sun. Reports suggest the 56-year-old has invested heavily in the club after developing a passion for English football.

With an estimated net worth of £127 million, Ferrell will join a distinguished list of investors at Leeds United, including golf stars Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth, NBA All-Star Russell Westbrook, and Hollywood icon Russell Crowe.
