‘The Boys’ Star Jeffrey Dean Morgan Pledges Allegiance to Ryan Reynolds’ Wrexham as He Admits Being a Lionel Messi Fan

Jeffrey Dean Morgan is among the most celebrated actors in Hollywood. The American-born star recently made strides by joining the cast of ‘The Boys: Season 4′. However, this time, the actor is in the headlines for soccer reasons. Surprisingly, not only has Morgan vowed his commitment to Ryan Reynolds’ soccer club Wrexham, but he has also confessed his love for none other than Lionel Messi and how the soccer icon’s goal-scoring prowess ‘elevates’ him.

These revelations came from the social media activity of Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s wife, Hilarie Burton Morgan. Without a doubt, the fusion of soccer passion with Hollywood adds a distinctive twist to the world of celebrity-sports allegiance.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan expresses fandom for Wrexham and Lionel Messi

A few hours ago, while interacting with fans on X, a netizen asked Jeffrey the classic Messi or Ronaldo question, to which, he replied with a succinct word, “Messi.” Then, when he was asked about his favorite soccer team, the ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ star replied, “All in on @Wrexham_AFC now. Just love the whole story. Hard not too. Thing is? It’s more than a TV series… that team is GOOD. But the players, the town, Rob and Ryan… I got sucked into whole thing. But I love watching Messi. What he does on a pitch, how he elevates all? Wow.”

Interestingly, it all actually started with Taylor Swift. Earlier, Morgan’s wife Hilarie Burton, retweeted a small clip from Taylor Swift’s recent Eras Tour concert in Buenos Aires, Argentina, surfaced on the internet. The video showcased the reactions of Travis Kelce after Taylor made a lyric change in her latest song, ‘Karma’. Swift was seen singing, “Karma is the guy on the chiefs coming straight home to me.” Sharing this clip, Hilarie also gave a caption, “They are gonna have the most flannel lined, pie and red ribbon kinda Christmas….and then these babies are gonna be engaged by May.”

This caught the eye of her husband Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who jokingly commented how he loves her wife being invested in Kelce-Swift’s relationship. It led to ‘The Walking Dead’ actor engaging with netizens, and the comment section automatically became a fun Q&A session.

Indeed, it is quite a stunning revelation from Jeffrey that will be a melody to the ears of ardent Wrexham and Messi fans. Meanwhile, on the same show Taylor took Kelce’s name, an American singer gave a shoutout to Messi.
