As one of Hollywood’s most in-demand actors, Ashton Kutcher mulled over the idea of investing in a $9 billion league soccer team. But it seems he recently turned down an offer that would have seen him enter ‘Coming Soon’ co-actor Ryan Reynolds’ territory.

In 2021, Reynolds made headlines when he, along with action star Rob McElhenney, bought the Welsh soccer club Wrexham AFC. Wrexham has seen success both on and off the field, with the name of Ryan Reynolds being attached to the team helping it gain a lot of attention and popularity.
Reynolds has been a consistent presence with the team, often attending matches and taking an active role in the club. While the Hollywood star has made headlines in recent times for his involvement in the Welsh soccer club, Kutcher revealed that he was close to investing in a team in the English Premier League.
Ashton Kutcher was close to following in Ryan Reynolds’ footsteps
Recently, Ashton sat down with co-actor Reese Witherspoon in an interview to promote their upcoming Netflix movie ‘Your Place or Mine’. Speaking in the interview, Kutcher talked about his love for soccer. “I’m a big United States soccer fan,” He said. Nobody can hate United States soccer because we’re never in the final.
Kutcher then said that he had been considering investing in a team for the past month, but ultimately decided against it. “I have not watched an MLS game yet but I do watch Premier League, and I actually came very close to investing in a Premier League team in the last month,” Kutcher said.

However, the actor decided against it due to time commitments. “If I own a football team I want to go watch the matches and I’m like ‘do I have time to fly back and forth?” Kutcher said. It’s understandable that the Hollywood actor would want to be able to watch his team play if he was going to invest in them.

Kutcher’s decision to pass up on investing in a soccer team is regrettable, especially considering the profound effect that Reynolds had on his investment in a soccer club. What are your thoughts on this missed opportunity? Let us know in the comments.
