Fans from all over the world reacted to the ‘giant smooch’. Many of the fans now strongly urged Reynolds to take over the Senators. Some fans even remembered the time when Reynolds smooched Andrew Garfield at the Golden Globe in 2017. However, at that time, fans went even crazier because it was an actual smooch in 2017.
Reynolds could purchase an NHL club!
In 2022, Ryan Reynolds publicly expressed interest in buying an NHL club. Reynolds told the media that he wouldn’t turn down an opportunity to buy the Ottawa Senators. However, the Melnyk family needs to first put up the NHL club for sale. Forbes values the Ottawa Senators at about $800 million.

However, nobody still knows whether Reynolds will look to form a consortium or go in single-handedly for the Senators. Last year, a fan asked Reynolds whether he was actually interested in buying the ice hockey club. Reynolds quickly responded to the tweet but only with a ‘thinking’ face emoji. Since then, many have been speculating that Ryan Reynolds might buy the Senators.

As an owner, Ryan Reynolds has already done a fantastic job at Wrexham AFC. It remains to be seen if Reynolds can replicate the same form of success with the Senators if the deal goes through.
