The Hollywood star has been investing in businesses for a long time, including Aviation Gin, Mint Mobile, Maximum Effort Marketing, and Wrexham AFC Fans have seen him bringing his enthusiasm to the corporate world also as he introduced the first distillery of Portland. He also purchased the Wrexham AFC in collaboration with his Instagram friend Rob McElhenney in 2020.

He thinks that the Senators should remain in its origin town so the club doesn’t need to relocate with another bidder. Moreover, as per reports given by Ottawa Sun, Anna and Olivia Melnyk, who inherited the team after Eugene Melnyk’s (their father) death in March 2022, might put their inherited team for sale next month. Their father was the owner of this team worth $655 since 2003.
