Ryan Reynolds represented a Columbus-grown company well in a social media post this week, showing off gear for a soccer club he owns made by Homage, a local company in which he is an investor.
Reynolds posted a series of photos on Instagram decked out in Wrexham AFC merch created by the Columbus clothing company.

Reynolds bought the Welsh football club alongside fellow Hollywood star Rob McElhenney in 2020. Last year, his Maximum Efforts Investment LLC invested in Homage.
“These @Homage shirts are the bees knees,” Reynolds said in the post. “Softer than a Bob Ross cloud and cool enough for summer nights walking around the pitch, wondering where everybody went.”
Reynolds isn’t the only celebrity bringing attention to Homage. Last year the company saw an immediate sales bump when Taylor Swift wore one of its hats promoting “New Heights,” the podcast hosted by her boyfriend, Travis Kelce.
