WHAT HAPPENED?
Jackman has got himself involved in a feud between former NFL stars Manning and Brady, the latter of whom owns a stake in Birmingham City, who play Wrexham on Monday evening.
Wrexham owner Rob McElhenney has added Manning to the Wrexham fanbase ahead of the game, and he followed up with a post reading: “Now I can beat Tom Brady in football and futbol! Go Wrexham!”
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Manning won the Super Bowl twice for the New York Giants and on both occasions, they beat Brady’s New England Patriots. Brady won the NFL seven times, with the last coming in 2021. And he made reference to that in his response, as he posted a video showing one trophy, and complained that he could not find the other six.
WHAT JACKMAN SAID
Now, Manning has drawn Jackman into the feud, with the Wolverine & Deadpool star a close friend of Wrexham owner Ryan Reynolds.
In the clip, Manning says: “Hey Tom, you made some valid points in your message and I heard them well and they hurt a little bit, so I had to bring in my ringer, Hugh here, he’s got a few trophies of his own.”
Jackman then walks into frame and adds: “Yeah, I do, you’re being too nice man. Listen Tom, dude, I’m a big fan of you, but mate you’ve crossed a line. Two championships, six claws, that’s eight. Don’t start it. Come on Wrexham.”
He ends the message saying “I still love you, Tom
