EXCLUSIVE: Hollywood Royalty Takes Sailing by Storm with Bond-worthy Partnership!

In a move that's got everyone talking, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are set to conquer the high seas as co-owners of Australia's SailGP team, rebranded BONDS Flying Roos! The Deadpool and Wolverine stars have joined forces with iconic underwear brand BONDS, which has become the new Title Partner of the Australian sailing outfit.

But that's not all - this power couple's partnership is a match made in heaven, or should we say, on the high seas? Reynolds, known for his wit and humor, couldn't resist making a cheeky comment about bringing his "emotional support human" (Jackman) along for the ride. The two have released a joint statement that's got everyone giggling: "We're incredibly excited to set sail together in this new adventure," they said. "Hugh brings a deep love for and pride in his home country as well as being an avid fan of sailing. He will also be bringing his overly clingy emotional support human along for the ride." Ouch, Hugh!

The team have also rebranded to become the BONDS Flying Roos, with the iconic Aussie underwear brand BONDS becoming the team's first-ever Title Sponsor

Reynolds' investment portfolio just got a whole lot more interesting - this is on top of his Wrexham football club (which he co-owns with fellow Hollywood star Rob McElhenney), Aviation American Gin, and the Alpine Formula One team. Talk about diversifying your investments! Meanwhile, Aussie sailing sensation Tom Slingsby and his crew are currently leading the SailGP championship by a narrow margin.

This exclusive partnership marks an incredible milestone for the Flying Roos team, with BONDS joining as their Title Partner. "This is an incredible milestone for us and for our sport," said Slingsby. "Having global icons Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds come on board as co-owners of our team brings unmatched star power, a love for storytelling, and a sharp sense of humor that fits perfectly with our team."

Tanya Deans, president of BONDS, is over the moon to be partnering with Australian royalty. "We're thrilled to join forces with such an iconic duo and an adrenaline-fueled sport ready for its moment in the spotlight," she gushed. "And how do you say no to Hugh Jackman? He's Australian royalty!" Deans also quipped, "As we set sail on this new adventure, the BONDS Flying Roos have one less thing to worry about – we've got their backs (and bums) covered." Talk about a clever marketing strategy!
