Unleashing the Aussie Wave: Reynolds, Jackman, and Bonds Take Over SailGP
Stepping into the sailing scene, Hollywood powerhouses Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, alongside driver and CEO Tom Slingsby, have officially joined forces to rebrand the successful Australia SailGP team. Known for their winning streak—claiming three championships in its four-season run—the team is now christened as the BONDS Flying Roos[3][5].
In a joint statement released through SailGP, the duo expressed their excitement about this shared adventure. Jackman, an avid sailing fan and proud Aussie, will have his emotional support human along for the ride, though Australia may have to bear with him[6]. Regarding the possible BONDS attire, neither Reynolds nor Jackman made any official comments.
Slingsby, in his release, praised the pair's unmatched star power, storytelling skills, and sharp wit, stating they perfectly fit the team's spirit. He added that with BONDS joining as the title partner and the launch of the BONDS Flying Roos, they're building something distinctly Australian—a team rooted in spirit, resilience, and national pride[6].
This marks yet another sports venture for Reynolds, who also co-owns Wrexham, one of the world's oldest football clubs with fellow actor Rob McElhenney[2]. The pair were also part of an investment group that acquired Colombian club La Equidad earlier this year and seemed among a group of investors in the Alpine Formula One team in 2023[2].
Tomorrow, the BONDS Flying Roos SailGP Team will make its debut at the Mubadala New York Sail Grand Prix[6]. So, grab your popcorn and prepare for an unforgettable sailing experience!
